[Bonus chapter] What I Deserved

The room was dimly lit with a few candles, and there were no windows. The only door was the one we had come in. There were no other furnishings in the room, and the walls were bare. It looked more like a dungeon than a temple.

"Galio?" The girl named Lya asked, looking at me with a confused expression.

"Yes, I am Galio," I said, and I could see the girls start to relax a little bit.

"The Galio?" Lya asked, and I nodded. "But, you're different."

"I am in a new form," I said, and the girls all started to talk at once.

"Kira is with the Queen. And the Queen has forbidden anyone from talking to Galio because she is a traitor." Lya said, and the girls all started talking again.

"Be quiet!" Mishal said, and they all quieted down. "Galio is not a traitor. She is here to help us."
