Annan still remembers that nightmare.
The one called "Reflection," which belonged to Benjamin's girlfriend, Eve Miller.
He also remembers… that what made Benjamin yearn to become Transcendent, to become a wizard of the Black Tower, was Evelyn.
As a child, Evelyn had long drifting hair, a fine and delicate face, with an extremely supple body. She was a born dancer, destined to be the darling of Yawen.
Even back then, she had fallen in love with Benjamin.
And then one day, after an accident, a fire disfigured Evelyn.
Her face was riddled with burn scars, her once fair and smooth skin became scarred with contracture. She even lost all her hair.
As a girl who cherished beauty, a talented dancer who saw dance as her only career path, this despair that struck out of nowhere had nearly destroyed her entire life.
If it wasn't for Benjamin being by her side, Evelyn might have ended her own life long ago.
