A few hours before…
"Where is Elaika, Captain Dron?"
Arkilla asked grimly as she rushed close, panting. She couldn't believe that he let her go.
"She headed north."
"How could you let her go?"
Arkilla yanked him by the shoulder and ran to the forest, tracking Elaika's footsteps. After a few hours, she found her in a cave. She was sleeping when Killa's shadow loomed over her.
Eliaka opened her eyes, "What are you doing here?"
Killa didn't answer that, instead, pounced on her chest, her unsheathed dagger grazing Elaika's skin.
"You stay away from Gloria, or wherever you go, I will find you. I'll kill everyone you love, I'll destroy everything you cherish. Don't try my patience."
