every time i think i've finally made it, i learn i'm farther away than i have ever been before
Noah's jaw clenched as Delphine spoke. He took her for her word, though. She knew Zariah, most likely from their life before Caido, and so he listened. Noah did not have any personal relationship with the mage that ran the Academy. All he knew of her was that she had led a child willfully to their death. It made him feel so uneasy. He had felt the same anger towards Delphine when she had come to his doorstep and told him of what had happened with Ludo. It just made his stomach churn. For some reason, Noah could not place the two women to bear the same weight. There was something about Zariah's title and authority that just made him feel worse about her action's than Delphine's. And Noah truly did believe that Zariah had done it on purpose.
"I feel so much anger at all of it. At Neron, at Zariah, at everything." He put his elbows on his knees and cradled his forehead. He could feel cold wind seeping into the house from the damage of Eirachi's rage. He knew it would need to be fixed sooner rather than later, but he couldn't get himself to get up from the position he held before the fire.
NOAH
