Lilith's eyes lingered on him for a moment before she turned to the exposed construct.
"It's designed to mimic unstable aether output," she said," it comes off irregular and erratic deliberately irritating anything corrupted."
Atheline crouched slightly. He studied the construct for a moment.
"It wouldn't control the drake," he said," just pull it towards our side."
"Yes," she calmly replied," straight towards us."
Silence fell over them as they both looked down at the construct.
"You said it earlier that it was too precise," he said.
She didn't answer immediately.
"It was."
Her hand lifted slightly, and the construct lifted from the ground before them and hung in the air.
"The placement and timing, " she continued," none of it was accidental."
He exhaled slightly.
"So ... someone knew our route."
Her sharp gaze flickered towards him.
"They probably did," she confirmed," I'm not the only one who uses this route.... a few others in the palace are aware of it."
