Shattered Trust

Lucas stared at the phrases, a felt of serenity spreading down his spine. the sport had developed, and he was imprisoned inside the heart of forces he didn't recognize. As he fought to decide his next step, one question stuck in his thoughts: 

What if safeguarding the future intended destroying the present? 

Avery Chen staggered throughout the darkish halls of Blackthorn institution, her thoughts reeling from the events within the subterranean chamber. the gravity of her newest ordeal pressed down on her, making every stride a massive effort. She required solutions, and the handiest individual may wish to possibly offer them. 

As she neared the secluded glade where she regularly communed with the Architect, Avery sensed a shift inside the ecology. The accustomed presence of the cosmic being enveloped her, but some thing stuck out. the daily heat warmth is swapped with an uncomfortable relax.
