The Dark Side of Fate

102 Resting

~Sylvester~

After the lengthy discussion during breakfast, I decided to retire to my room to think of all that had been discovered and said.

The plan seemed simple, but Richado was right. It might take some effort to execute.

I did not trust the others involved besides the people close to me.

I never knew Larry's words weren't to be ignored. I guess we wanted to end the conflict so badly and enjoy the peace that we ignored his blatant warnings as the rambling of a madman.

One thing I was going to do was talk to Larry when I got back to the North. I was glad he was still alive. The man clung to life so hard that I doubted death would find him soon. 1

Uncle Lucas was also right when he said Larry could not have masterminded all that had happened. If he had followed us to the East, he would have laughed at us and said he had told us so.

Returning to the North meant Uncle Lucas would be actively involved. He had been searching for an adventure for a while now, so it was a given he would want to be a part of this-the more, the merrier, anyway.

"Where are you going?' I heard Tamia's voice in my head.

"To our room; I need to think," I replied.

"I will join you now," she replied, and I was glad we would have some time together and maybe brainstorm on the matter. I walked away, trying to organise my thought and set out the plan in my head.

"Sylvester, when are we leaving?" Dominic said, approaching me at the staircase.

I turned to look at him and saw David and Devin behind him.
