Chapter 55: The Breach.
Aria’s POV:
The sun had barely risen when I made my way to the meeting hall. The events of the previous day weighed heavily on my mind, but I knew we had to face the Elders again to solidify our plans. As I entered, I saw Elder Thorne waiting, his eyes filled with a mixture of curiosity and concern.
“Aria,” he greeted, his voice calm but edged with tension. “We need to talk, that was why we sent for you.”
I nodded, bracing myself for the questions I knew were coming. “I understand, Elder Thorne. Let’s discuss whatever concerns you have.”
We took our seats, and soon the other Elders joined us. The room filled with an uneasy silence, each Elder casting glances at me in a different manner, I felt indifferent to the scrutiny of their gaze.
“Aria,” Elder Thorne
