The laughter continued for only a few seconds.
Then it stopped. The forest became silent again.
Rin remained on his knees, staring at the faint symbol on his palm.
Three interlocking circles. He had seen it before. On his mother's pendant. In Sol's memories.
On the silver ring belonging to the man beyond the World Gate.
And now...on himself.
Rin slowly looked up at Eryon.
"You said you know who created the curse."
Eryon didn't answer. Rin stood.
"Then tell me."
Eryon's expression remained unreadable.
"No."
Rin stared at him.
"You can't keep doing that!"
"Doing what?"
"Knowing everything and telling me nothing."
"I don't know everything."
"You know enough."
"Unfortunately."
Rin crossed his arms.
"Then tell me what you know."
Eryon looked at the others. Kaelith was still watching the place where the World Gate had disappeared. Noctis stood beside him, his silver hair moving gently in the wind. Sol was staring at his own hands. Seraphine looked terrified.
