"Yano, what are we gonna do?" Mil watched how Yano paced up and down. None of them has ever seen him this conflicted.
Usually, he'd be able to dish out a decision quickly but this time Lia was involved. They all knew what this meant. Yano's brain and heart were telling him to do two different things.
Right now, Yano, Mil, Skyla, Lu and Holn and some of the mortal captains assembled in Yano's dining room. Everyone waited for Yano to come to a decision.
The light of the chandelier cast a dark shadow over Yano's face. Then finally he sat down and spoke up, "The Mortal World needs us more. Lia herself said she'd be fine."
It came to a surprise but also not. No one knew what to say until Skyla slammed her hand on the table, "Are you going to abandon Lia?"
The moment she said those words, she regretted it. She knew it wasn't easy for Yano, that Yano was the one who suffered the most under his decision.
