Ana's journey becomes a thrilling odyssey of redemption, truth, and justice, leading her to question whether she can triumph over her past or risk becoming something far more sinister. The fate of a fractured world hangs in the balance, and Ana's choices will determine whether she rises as a hero or succumbs to the darkness. Prepare for a saga where alliances shift, allegiances blur, and the past casts a haunting shadow on an uncertain future.

Chapter 32: Immortal Dogs?

•Mr. Webb's Shelter for Dogs, 5th Ward•

Valerian

"About your offer…" Ana said in a gloomy voice devoid of life. A stark contrast to how she usually was: annoyingly optimistic and irritatingly stubborn.

"Finally!" A voice from behind the trees shouted. "Who would put a dog shelter in such a hard place to find?!" The voice complained as a ball of blonde hair peeked out of the trees. "Oh? Why are you both here?" Ambrose asked surprised.

"Let's talk later" Ana whispered to Valerian as Ambrose approached them while removing the stray leaves that managed to cling to his hair and clothes.

"Can you believe how long it takes to get here?! If I didn't find that shortcut, it would have taken hours" Ambrose exclaimed.

"I'm pretty sure that shortcut was what got you lost" Ana teased as she put on a strained smile. Valerian didn't understand why she had to put on a fake smile.
