The green-eyed figure tilted its head slightly before speaking again through Samantha's body.
"Tell me about this hermit."
Rudra looked toward Anna for a brief moment before answering.
"She called herself keeper of fate; we only know that much. She was a simple black-haired lady."
The entity possessing Samantha remained silent for several seconds after hearing that description. Samantha's green eyes narrowed faintly, as though she were searching through distant memories or piecing together fragments of knowledge she had forgotten over eons.
The room gradually fell into silence.
The floating green particles still drifted through the air like suspended starlight, bathing the chamber in an ethereal glow. Neither Rudra nor Anna dared interrupt the entity's thoughts; by now, Rudra understood this much: whoever she was, she was definitely a goddess or a stronger being.
After a few minutes, Samantha finally raised her head again and looked directly at the couple.
