Between2Worlds [Story] 06/04

It’s hilarious to me how Eva ran away screaming from Isaias and called him an untrustworthy terrorist while he’s been very honest with her, and she’s completely fine with trusting a stranger that just paid a grand for a basket of apples like it was nothing.

OMG get out of my brain, Yimi :joy: My first reaction was the exact same, haha!

No. You lot are stuck with me now. :mrgreen: :joy:

I do wonder what is going on with Athena and why she helped Eva. Something is up; I think. Maybe she sensed magic on Eva? Or knows Eva is a reporter? I also wonder if Athena knows about Isaias? And I have a feeling that this won't be the last we'll see of Isaias.

I was curious about the fact Athena had heard the story and was not dissuading Eva from reporting Isaias based on the phone conversation. So I was pleased to see her interfere afterwards to give us a hint of where her loyalties might lie. Interesting. What she said would seem to suggest that either she's on the side of Ilrvi, and is trying to protect the expedition, or she just generally doesn't want more attention on spellcasters. There's of course the possibility that she doesn't know about the whole Ilrvi and Aelrendths conflict, because of her, err, time in Windenburg, but I seriously, seriously doubt that. Maybe she's left the magic realm after all this time because the expedition Isaias was a part of went pants.

Now all this being said, the police are aware that Eva was at the scene of the crime, so even if Athena's dissuaded her for now (which remains to be seen), she will have to give some type of testimony sooner or later. Let's see what that might be.

Also, I wonder who the creepy onlooker at the end might be.

:lol: Eva has some hard opinions.

You’ll find out about Athena’s end game. But best keep the questions away for now. Stuff needs to happen before we find out. :lol:

I have a theory that Yimi has implanted secret probes in our brain. :tongue:

Oof. No worries. Isaias is here to stay. He’s not going anywhere for sure.
Eva was suspicious of Athena, but whether her suspicions are founded or not is another story. The end of Ch 2 might help. (Might. :joy: )

Ahh okay. Let me think of a good name for it. For now I name the preset as ‘Testing’. :joy:

Thank you! I do want it to look light and fluffy for now :blush:

Ah thank you for the feedback. It’s true that Athena and Curtis’s backstories are in S1 so these characters will feel unfamiliar for you, but that’s okay. Knowing their past will enrich the story, but without them you’ll do fine too. We are reaching Athena’s feature chapter and you will know her better then. :)

Who's the guy watching them in the last two pics?

It can go either way for now. We’ll also have to find out what exactly did Eva update Athena about on their way to the police station. And then there’s Athena’s time in Windenburg(?) :joy: And about Athena going to the magic realm, did she? In B2W, portal magic is not freely available to all Ilrvi/Aelrendths. Then again, Athena is not an average spellcaster.

Ahh.. It feels like a lot of questions, but there are answers very soon. :D

My latest crush. I’m super infatuated at the moment. :love:
Ok serious, you’ll find out next chapter. :)
