Nathan's POV
"What did you find?" I asked, my voice shaking as I looked at the seer.
She didn't speak right away. Her pale eyes seemed far away, like she was watching something we couldn't see. Then, slowly, she turned back to us.
"She has gone home," the seer said.
My chest tightened. "Home? You mean the cook's place?"
The seer shook her head. "No. That was never her real home. What you knew was only a small piece of her truth. She has gone back to where her blood belongs. A place filled with power and danger. A place she could not run from any longer."
Her words pressed down on me like heavy stones. My fists curled. "Where is it? Tell me where she is."
The seer's gaze held mine, sharp and cold. "That is not for me to tell. You must find the path yourself. Just know this—she did not leave you because she wanted to. She left because it was her destiny. If you follow her… you may find truths you are not ready for."
