Chapter 1068 Gains*
As he reached the top, he entered through the door of his room, closing it quietly behind him.
His gaze swept across the simple space, and then he smiled.
'Even though I've hardly used it, I still miss this room.'
Funny enough, the training room felt more like home to him than this one ever had. Especially after Anastasia stopped disturbing him to rest. He practically lived there now.
Still, as he looked at the clean, tidy space, he couldn't help but feel a hint of nostalgia. This was where he'd grown up. Where he'd awakened his bloodline. Where he'd awakened as a baby.
'Feels like so long ago.'
With a soft chuckle, Atticus sat on his bed, silently looking around.
Then, his eyes shifted to the door, landing on a faint shadow that flickered just past the frame.
And his smile widened.
"Hey."
The shadow froze, flickering slightly as if startled.
"I can see you, Arya," Atticus said casually.
To anyone else below the master ranks, it would've been invisible. But to Atticus and his insane perception, it might as well have walked in wearing a sign.
The shadow expanded, revealing a woman of average height with short green hair. She bowed the moment she fully appeared.
"Young master."
Atticus chuckled. "You're probably the only one who still calls me that, Arya."
He stood and walked over, pulling her into a hug.
"I apologize—" Arya started, stiffening, but Atticus just hugged her tighter.
"Guess I wasn't missed," he teased.
Arya flinched, rapidly shaking her head. "No, no!" She relaxed and slowly returned the hug.
'He's warm,' she thought. Atticus's body always radiated a kind of heat. Not the uncomfortable kind, but the type that soothed you from the inside out.
"Welcome back," she whispered, warmly.
"It's good to be back," Atticus replied, pulling back to look at her.
Arya instantly looked down, face flushed.
