If only*

It was nearly dawn when a witch joined Alicia and Zeres at the top of the building. 

"Find Ezekiel," Zeres ordered and the witch immediately obeyed. Alicia had agreed to leave. She had no choice but agreed because she realized Zeres wouldn't hesitate to send his minions towards the leaving humans if she continued persisting. And even though it was hard to accept, she had also understood that she could not change his mind anymore. He had made up his mind, and no one, not even her, could do anything to stop him.

"I found him, my king." The witch said to Zeres.

"Is he alone?" 

"No."

Zeres frowned. His gaze remained fixated on the part of the city where there was heavy traffic. More than half of the city seemed emptied already. It would not take long, and this city would be completely emptied. "Watch him. Tell me once he's alone." Zeres said and the witch's crystal ball lit up again.
