And with it , the bloodline of Kael .

The room is quiet .

You can hear the drop of a leaf .

Callens body lays limp , his eyes no longer radiating that faint glow .

Its as though , for a second , the storm is over , we might be able to catch a breath now .

Then Aurora leans in close and softly says , Callen , are you alright ? His lips moved and repeated the words faint and chilling .

The grove will burn , and with that , the bloodline of Kael .

The words dribble through the room , settling like claws upon our skin .

Aurora tenses , her hand shaking as she jerks back .

I step forward .

A natural instinct to place myself between Callen and Aurora , pushes me forward .

Step back.

She nods , eyes wide but intent .

The Forgotten starts their move .

Yet, even she cannot disguise the hint of concern that glimmers .

I stood by her side , my hand resting on the hilt of my blade .

Ive seen her carry this pack through impossible odds , but something about this feels different .

When the room clears , and the others retreat to prepare , Aurora pulls me aside .

I need to go to the grove , she says , her voice steady but laced with urgency .

I frown .

Alone ? Thats not happening .

She shakes her head .
