Jude knew that this man was willing to do anything to find that book. But in all honesty, Jude was having a hard time understanding why he had to go to this extent!
Sighing, Jude spoke as he followed after Zeres. "I really don't understand why you're doing this. Even if you love this person you're trying to bring back, I still think this is getting too much, you know…"
Zeres halted. He was silent for a moment before he looked up into the sky. "She died for me. Then she gave up her chance to go to the afterlife to lift my curse. And she did all of that even though she didn't love me." The last part came out just a little louder than a whisper.
As those words echoed in the dark, Jude's eyes widened. Zeres had never spoken about his reasons. He had only told him that he was doing this to save someone. Though Zeres had never said he loved the person, Jude could tell. Otherwise, who would sacrifice so much like this for someone you do not even love?
