Kairos and Kaela hurried toward the settlement, the wind rushing past their ears as their feet pounded against the dirt path. Surprisingly, Kaela took the lead, confidently guiding them through the winding terrain. She seemed to know the way as if she had walked this route a thousand times.
Earlier, she had asked what had happened, and Kairos—though still disoriented by the events—decided to tell her most of it. Not everything. Just enough.
This seemed to worry Kaela. After all, she was the caring type.
To further the conversation, Kairos decided to ask about Lina.
"Have you seen Lina? Do you know where she might be?" he asked, barely keeping the urgency out of his voice.
Kaela shook her head, her brows furrowed. "No... I haven't seen her since the attack. I don't even know if she made it out."
That was the last thing Kairos wanted to hear.
