-" Adam Kadmon? Are you sure that this is his name?" Thorin's face darkened as he heard the information.

-" I'm sure. One of the clerics from our country just came looking to refuge with us." Kamni had no idea why Thorin was focusing on the name of the Eastern Emperor, but, he decided not to pry into it.

-" That is enough for now." Thorin was shocked, and he wanted time to process the information he had just received. " Thank you all for the information, you can go and rest."

Dillia took a deep breath as everyone left the room, her body trembled as the memories of that traumatic night replayed in her head.

-" Thorin?" Her stomach churned with anxiety at the thought of telling someone what Leger had done to her. "Can we talk now?"

Thanks to the surprising news Thorin had completely forgotten about Dillia's situation. " Can you give me a moment?" Thorin was confused, way too many things were happening in this chaotic era, and he suspected that they weren't just coincidences.

Dillia bit her lips, she knew that if she didn't talk not, she would never have the courage again. " Thorin.,.. When I was first brought to the Chruch." Dillia choked on her words as her body shuddered.

-" When you were first brought to the church?" Thorin's mind was jolted awake, he could see how nervous Dillia was acting, so it was clear that it wasn't anything good. " Did something happen to you?" Thorin got up and was about to pat Dillia on her back, but, he suddenly remembered Baltsar's words.

"You can take your time." He avoided touching her and brought a chair for her to sit down.

Dillia sat down and rested her head on her hands." Leger, he visited me when first arrived in the church." Dillia's body began to tremble even more as the words left her mouth. " I was young at the time, so I didn't understand what he was doing."

Thorin clenched the arms of his chair as he heard Dillia, he already could predict what she would say.

-" He.... touched me." Tears poured out of Dillia's eyes as she kept telling her story, her voice almost like a whisper as the emotions took all her strength away, yet, she continued to pour out everything.

Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

Thorin was disgusted by Leger's attitude, he wondered how many more people suffered on his hand. " Leger! I will rip his head off!" Thorin's eyes burned with rage, his opinion about Leger and his group was never good but, he never thought that he would stoop so low.

-" It was me that started the fight, but, I just wanted to get the information faster." Dillia shaking only grew stronger as she continued. " It was dark there, so when Baltsar grabbed my arm, I lost control." Dillia felt relieved as she finally let it all out. " I'm sorry ——"

Before Dillia could apologize, Thorin interrupted her. " You don't have to apologize." His eyes were filled with compassion and pity as he gazed at the girl. " I understand, keeping this a secret for long must had been hard."

Dillia's heart tightened as she saw Thorin's gaze, she had awakened her Sun Blessed powers at the age of six, and since then she never had the opportunity to visit her family.

Thorin's warm gaze made her reminiscence on her family, this was the first time since she was abducted from her family that she had received a gaze with this much affection.

She tried her best to calm down, but, all the years of pent-up emotions caused her to break down even more.

Thorin felt a bit awkward as Dillia began to bawl her eyes out, while he was a pretty compassionate and good-willed individual, he was never that good with social interactions.

He tried his best to soothe Dillia, and only after a few more minutes of loud crying, did she finally calm down.

-" Don't worry, I won't leave you out of this mission, but, I will keep an eye on your emotional state." Thorin sighed, Dillia's plight was way more serious than he first thought, suddenly he even thought that the girl compartment was justified. " When we return... I will help you to get justice against Leger."

Dillia's eyes beamed with happiness as Thorin finished speaking, she was afraid to speak about what Leger did at first, but, now she realized that this was the right choice.

-" Thanks!" She gave Thorin a big smile before leaving the room, her semblance now looked more happy and hopeful.

Dillia found Vysard waiting outside Thorin's room, and she immediately became embarrassed, her eyes were still red from crying and she wasn't sure if he had listened to her conversation, so she hastily ran to her room.

Vysard was suspicious of the way that Dillia was acting, every time that Dillia meet Vysard she always complained or insulted him, but, now she just ignored him.

He entered Thorin's room and looked around, Thorin looked a bit exhausted, so Vysard knew that what Thorin had discussed with Dillia and Baltsar's companions wasn't any good news.

-" So?" Vysard sat down next to Thorin and waited for him to speak.

-" So?" Thorin asked back, feigning ignorance about what the boy wanted to know.

-" You know what I'm saying.' Vysard was curious about Dillia's situation, she was pretty injured when Thorin bought her back. " What will happen to her?"

Thorin sighed, he wanted to tell Vysard to stay away from this topic, but, he couldn't hide things from him. " She was the one that started the fight." Thorin shook his head as he saw Vysard expression.

-" I knew it!" Thorin was sure that Dillia was the one who picked a fight. " Her attitude is horrible! Are you going to make her go back to the Chruch?"

Thorin let out a deep breath as he thought. "Vysard some matters aren't so one-sided, what you see as a problem, sometimes is just a response."

-" Response?" Vysard didn't understand Thorin's answer. " Can't you explain things in an easier manner?" He was growing tired of Thorin's cryptic way of speaking.

-" What I'm saying, is that you need to be compassionate and understanding of people." Thorin patted his head as he smiled. " You can't judge someone without knowing what he was gone through."

-" So you are not sending her back?" Vysard was disappointed, he thought that Thorin was being to lenient with her.

-" I will just keep an eye on her, if her emotional state doesn't stabilize, I will keep her on the sidelines." Thorin got up and looked at Vysard, as he gazed at the sun tattoo on his forehead he suddenly remembered what Kamni had told him.

Vysard felt Thorin confused gaze and locked eyes with him. " Did something else happens?"

Thorin smiled as he patted Vysard again. " Do you know the name of the Sun God?"
