Unveiling Bonds In Shadows
As Akun made his way through the streets of the capital, the weight of Aric's words settled heavily on him. He could lose Hestria, Genreia, Azara, and Tatilia. But to what? He clenched his fists, the worry etching lines on his usually calm face.
Suddenly, a gentle hand touched his arm. Genreia, her vibrant green eyes filled with concern, looked up at him.
"Master? Is everything alright? You seem troubled."
Azara, who normally kept a respectful distance, also approached him, her voice barely a whisper.
"A-are you feeling unwell, Akun?"
Tatilia, always playful and cheerful, twirled around Akun, her yellow hair catching the fading light. She leaned in, her yellow eyes sparkling with mischief.
"Don't worry, master. We're here with you, whatever it is," she said with a teasing smile, linking her arm with his.
Akun took a deep breath, realizing his worry must be showing. He forced a smile, his worry easing slightly.
