The night grew deeper as Lucca stood before the grand mansion of the Grand Chairperson, the imposing shadow of the building looming under the moonlight. Anger and hatred swirled within him, creating a storm of emotions that was nearly uncontrollable. He gazed at the large door, hesitating whether to step inside or not. However, a faint voice from within caught his attention.
Lucca's footsteps paused for a moment. He moved closer to the door, listening intently. Inside, a conversation quickened his heartbeat.
"We can't wait any longer," a deep male voice was clearly audible. "Cassie is getting weaker, and time is running out. She must be saved immediately."
The voice immediately grabbed Lucca's attention. The Grand Chairperson, Cassie's father, spoke with an urgency that was hard to hide. Before Lucca could fully process this, another voice, soft yet authoritative, followed.
