Garion and Rachel returned to God Island not long after the guests had left.
Inside their room, Garion closed the door behind them, then walked a few steps forward before stopping.
Rachel turned to face him, crossing her arms lightly. "Alright, Garion. You can talk now."
Garion nodded once. "Okay."
He walked over to the side and sat on the bed, then leaned back and lay down. "…Where do I start…"
Rachel didn't interrupt. She moved over and lay down beside him, turning slightly so she could look at him.
Garion exhaled once. "Alright. You know about Darius, right?"
Rachel's eyes narrowed slightly. "I know he's Dahlia's father. And the one she fought in the last war."
Garion nodded. "Yeah."
He paused for a moment. "Do you know he reached Perfect Chimera?"
Rachel nodded slowly. "I heard that word before…"
She looked at him. "What's the problem?"
Garion turned his head slightly. "That 'Perfect Chimera'…"
