The apartment seems dead. Cold and lifeless. She hasn’t been back here since we left that night. Her clothes and personal items haven’t been moved. A thin layer of dust covered everything. Same with the old woman’s place. I thought for sure her sentiments would drive her to come here. Maybe she hasn’t had the chance yet? I’ll have my puppet set up a watchdog. I can’t get to her when she’s in Gnefenda, Axier, or the Albadash realm, so until I can find a way to portal to them, I have to wait until she comes to this realm. I walk through her bedroom, remembering the times we spent in the bed. They are pale in comparison to what we will do when I finally get her. Once I place my mark on her, she will submit to me fully. But what if she is too powerful? She’s already rejected my mark once.
