LIFE AFTER DEATH

Raigon glanced to the windows as he pondered. At this time, sun beams should be cascading its light through the Castle. But instead, he couldn't even see its brightness from outside.

"Are we truly in the mercy of God?" 

He can't help but blurt out as he sees its floor bathed in blood of both his men and his enemies.

"We're still alive. It must have been the reason." Zoe gave him an awkward smile, perhaps as their situation is an uncomfortable place to smile.

He used to believe in that. But with his attempt to save Terra and his family failing every time, doubt started to take root in his heart.

However, he still believed that he shouldn't wallow in his hesitations. He kissed Zoe goodbye so he could run off to get the crown.

But as he did so, the cries coming from the wolves' victims changed. He darted his eyes at where it's coming from. And to his horror, the wolves were now preying on the royal guards.
