[ IN WHICH SHE ENTERS THE PROBLEM OF ROME ]

NOVEMBER’S P.O.V—

I place my palms on the railing of the balcony.

Worried, I peer over the metal bar.

Below me, there is nothing.

I see nothing.

The land of Alkhemi has been covered by darkness. And that means it has been 12 hours since Sin had left with the warriors to the Land of Avsky. He should have been back by now. They should have saved Jacqueline and returned by now. A quest like this shouldn’t take much time except something bad had already happened.

… [something bad like what, November?] …

The voice in my head asks. I try to ignore it, but she speaks again.

… [you think they may have died? yes, you are right, they have died] …

“Shut up.” I growl, slapping palms on the cold railing.

After that, the voice silences. I'm hoping it silences forever.

Despite this new found silence, I am still troubled with the possibility that something bad has happened. Luca has proven to be dangerous. It will be a mistake to underestimate him
