Chapter Thirty-One

I can not stop looking all around me as I travel with Ludwig and the few Foxai that flank me for my protection. Ludwig has a dagger in each hand, walking close in front of me, keeping his movements light and quick, and it appears his feet do not touch the stone ground we walk upon.

To my left is Ace, and to my right is Neo. Behind me is Melissa, who I can feel is braiding my long hair from the tugging of the strands and the tune she's humming, something I recognize. It is a lullaby Miss Kali used to sing me to sleep with when I was younger and had trouble falling asleep, scared my gradually progressing and worsening sickness would take my life in the middle of the night while I deeply slept.
