When Captain Morales arrived on the scene, Sophia was kneeling near the body, carefully examining it... Catherina was not with her.
He could have taken advantage of the fact that she was alone to take news, to question her on any progress concerning her memory or to express his concern but, the day she had been entrusted to him, he had sworn to never interfere on this subject and he made a point of honour to respect this commitment.
- How’s the case?
Sophia stood up, paused briefly before answering:
- Well, we are dealing with 2 powerful sorcerers and as the body is recent, their energies are quite easy to detect.
The captain frowned; this answer was not very encouraging...
Sophia continued immediately:
- The first sorcerer started the fire and the second wiped it out. We have little data on the one who started the fire but the second one is an old acquaintance... Lilian, the legendary witch is in this town...
He grinned, he did not expect such bad news, Lilian was a powerful witch that it was better to avoid crossing path with.
Experts claim to have found evidence of her existence since the Middle Ages but so far nothing has confirmed it. In 3 years, Morales and Sophia had the opportunity to notice her intervention in several cases and very often, it ended in a bloodbath. Their only consolation was that until now, the victims were never innocent.
- I see, so this case will surely be more than complicated... By the way, where's your partner?
- Cat? She is… Oh, I forgot, she also detected that the victim was also a magician, she had a vision showing her in the form of a giant spider..."
