He Threw Away and Sold to the Devil 207

“Were you dominated by darkness?” 

“No.” 

“Why?” 

“I saw what darkness did to our father, our sister, and everyone who was in contact with it. I didn’t want to end up the same way.” 

“You didn’t want power?”

“Thanks for letting me know.” 

As she left the room, Maya and Cassian asked her. 

“Are you okay? Did he do anything to you?” 

“Don’t worry, I’m fine. Let’s go home.”
