A few more minutes passed as Haden pondered whether he should tell him or not, and he finally spoke, "They and we have the same origin."
Rion suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked at Haden with a tilted head.
"What?"
Seeing the dark clouds gather behind Rion's eyes, Haden's lips parted by themselves, and he answered, "The Remnant and Dhaevrak belonged to the same mother or monarch... having said that, I don't know anything about them."
Rion blinked a few times and thought, 'Mother and Monarch...? How are we connected?'
He looked away, and his steps picked up as his thoughts churned.
'Is the Monarch from my bloodline, and the Monarch father is talking of the same? What about the Mother then...? How is the Mother related to the Dhaevrak?'
Suddenly, the memory of the humanoid monster replayed itself in his head, and he thought, 'That chain... I didn't hear the whole of it, but it was named 'The R...' was it The Remnant?'
