Gift (Tayber POV)

Last night, after we finished sparring and practicing our skills, we went to go drink some alcohol to ease the nerves that we still get. We might be the heroes of this kingdom, but we still get nervous at the thought of losing loved ones or potentially dying. 

We then decided to stay at Eloise and Finn's house since it was the closest. We soon realized we made a mistake since the sibling's dad opened the door, arms folded, and releasing a pressure similar to the king. 

Well, it wasn't close to the king, but we couldn't go against their dad… so we received 5 slaps on the back of the hand before going to sleep.

… 

"How are your parents, are they recovering or is there still no progress?" Finn asks me as we sit at the dining table for breakfast. 

"They're doing the same as always. The demon heart hasn't spread, nor has it gone away," 

Everybody has faces of sorrow as I finish my sentence.
