"Miracle!"
Voraxus turned to Venia. "You don't mean…"
Venia nodded slowly. "She is from that clan, yes. But it appears she is unaware of her ancestry."
Voraxus was silent for a long time. He glanced at his sister, who seemed to be equally lost in thought. He couldn't help but ask:
"So this is the Pen of Manifestation's infamous resistance?"
Venia did not speak for a few moments. She slowly shook her head. "I'm not sure, but… this feels more like the boy's resistance than the Pen's."
"What?" Voraxus frowned.
"As I said," Venia explained, "the more I try to tamper with his fate, the more his fate tries to balance the disturbance. With Miracle's descendant's sudden arrival, I had to be even more careful. I could not involve her in the story, as that would alert Miracle. And you know how protective the House Fortuna is of their progeny."
Voraxus's frown deepened.
