Karim
I blink several times.
Services of a god, huh?
Ace moves to stand in front of me.
"You should have listened to your instinct and picked up the glass mask. Being here with your eyes uncovered is very risky business."
How does he…?
They're both a bunch of creeps - I had been as stealthy as possible.
"But you should be warned - my proposal won't last forever. I'll be leaving this place very soon."
I resist the urge to glance at it.
"What makes you so sure?" Ace asks.
The Presence chuckles.
"Come closer and I'll show you." It tells Ace.
Ace smirks.
"Maybe you can try fooling Karim with that, but you should know that I know you better than anyone else."
I raise a brow.
"True. Very true indeed." It agrees, clapping lightly.
"But you haven't seen its true form. So, in my opinion, you don't know him that well… or at all." I say, thinking of Arya.
"You're very wise. I think you two would make perfect friends. I'll call you 'the foolproof pair'."
