It was only after several minutes of endless ranting that Ozeroth finally left him alone.
A moment later, Atticus' gaze narrowed.
'She's moving.'
He vanished, appearing within one of his underground chambers beneath the veilroot tree.
The room was entirely white. A woman was suspended against the opposite wall, her arms and legs pulled apart. Her gaze was lifeless, fixed on nothing.
Atticus made himself invisible and erased his presence completely, leaving no trace behind.
'She's here.'
A moment later, a petite girl burst into the room. It was none other than Freya.
She had claimed she was meeting with Whisker, and while that had been a half-truth, Atticus knew she'd been up to something.
For the past few days, Freya had been 'playing' with bubbles after their training, then slipping away under the excuse that she had something to do.
However, Atticus had seen through the bubbles at a glance and realized she had been trying to spy on him.
