Awakened

Everything in and outside of Greenrock was soaked in life. Even the rocks seemed to have traces of life, causing him to respect Sapphira even more. However, since then she had not spoken a word.

Aquilia cried for a while before she recovered. Eritrea vented by shooting until all the arrows in her quiver finished before she eventually wept, but Sapphira didn't even shed a tear.

All she did was stay by Asher's frigid body, day and night, until the meeting that was currently going on. 

Since Nero heard the news, he vanished. Adam, on the other hand, led the troops alongside Paul, Lambert, and Alec. 

"We should do what is necessary." Sapphira finally spoke. 

"Send a letter to the regent. But we should be ready for his questions." Katarina sighed in defeat. Since Sapphira had spoken, she had to go along.

"Is he gone… just like that?" Aquilia couldn't believe it.
