Chapter 50: First and Last

*Maria*

My time had slowed but the world kept moving at the same pace.

Vulcana thankfully recovered and is resuming her normal life. Well…as normal as it can be.

Sara healed. If she didn’t stop fighting when she did, she might have shattered her gate. Using it like that right after a breakthrough was dangerous. But Sara keeps a brave face despite it, for us all.

Alymar has been busy with his princely duties. Mostly helping his father calm and inform the people of the situation. I think I even saw him helping with cleanup.

Aren…I haven’t seen him since he held me in his arms. Probably helping Alymar and…his father. He’s all he has left now. I don’t blame him for choosing his father over me. I would do the same in this situation.

That leaves me.

I’m too scared to leave my room until the appointed time. I know Aren says to not blame myself but I know many elves do blame me.
