Chapter 24

After some hours of walking and trying to catch his breath, Zevran stopped abruptly and faced the three people, who were unusually quiet. He knelt down as he stared at Cordelia, studying her every movement. "Are you alright?" He asked in concern.

"I'm fine," Cordelia answered simply, rather exhausted than hurt.

Zevran looked unconvinced but refused to push her further. The quicker they got to the Capital, the better. The raven haired man rose up and continued to follow behind, keeping a close eye on the group as he listened carefully for any sounds of trouble ahead.

"Are we almost there?" Alaenor asked anxiously.

The sorcerer gave her a curt nod, "Yes. Just another hour, perhaps less."

She didn't reply, instead choosing to focus on making sure that she kept her guard on alert, ready to pounce on any threat that might appear in front of her.
