After Luna fled with the children, Ethan stepped out quietly, surveying his surroundings.
He was now inside one of the cottages the witches used as their homes .. a simple wooden dwelling nestled among the trees.
"So… this is Moon's home."
He had heard before that she lived at the hunters' residence, but it seemed she had a place she returned to as well.
The house was modest, yet despite its simplicity, it carried a strangely comforting presence.
He spent a few minutes observing the place before Luna returned, having sent the children away.
"Forget what you saw earlier," she said.
Ethan looked at her, asking the first question that came to mind.
"How many siblings do you have?"
"Our family has four children. Moon is the eldest, and the twins Sol and Star are the youngest."
"And your parents?" he added.
Luna shook her head.
"They died in the war Ardyn waged against Asteria four years ago."
"I'm sorry."
"Don't be. It's no secret."
