"But we have to wait and see."Max nodded, "Alright."As they stood there, wine glasses delicately cradled in their hands, Max nudged Jax with a subtle elbow.

ASHER’S POVSmoke filled the air, thick and suffocating, as I ventured into the remnants of the village. The homes, once full of life, were now partly burnt out, their wooden frames ravaged by the relentless fire. The fire seemed to mock the sky, its flames dancing and flickering as they ascended ever higher. The villagers huddled together, their fear palpable as they struggled for survival. Their eyes pleaded for aid, but their cries for help were drowned out by the noise. I surveyed the surroundings, absorbing every minute detail. The earth beneath my boots was scorched, drenched in blood, bearing silent testimony to the battle that had transpired here.

I nodded, turning to the one who had introduced himself as Max, awaiting his reply.He looked shocked by my offer. “Yes, I will,” he agreed. However, before we could set off, two more boys appeared - the same ones that were with him back at the hall.“I’m Jax Bonnet,” one of them introduced himself, “and this is our friend, Caleb. We’d like to come with you.”I nodded, gesturing for them to join us. As we walked, I could feel the questions bubbling up inside me.
