Chapter 123
Lucian's POV
The air in the Veil was so heavy and sad that it felt like it was covering me with another layer of skin. The shadows moved around me, acting as if they wanted to grab me and pull me in. I couldn't make out where the Veil ended. I was never able to. It was only endless darkness. I was wondering if the place was so dark or if what I was about to do was.
Even so, I could feel it—the pull. The sound of his voice was so familiar that it seemed I had known it all my life. The intense pain in my chest made me keep going.
I couldn't help but do it.
Every step I made seemed to get heavier and heavier. My body reacted without thinking, as if the Veil understood me and had always known the way to lead me. And from a distance, I could see him.
The Ash-Born. My brother.
