Hope

As Talon walked out of Captain Istvan's office, he carefully closed the door behind himself, hoping to avoid another one of the captain's lectures.

'I need to find Quinn as fast as possible, he needs to know this,' Talon exclaimed, his heart racing with excitement. He knew they still had a way to reunite with the others. The fact that they were still alive was enough to fill him with relief. 

Yet, his rage remained unabated. Even with the glimmer of hope that they were alive and the possibility that the others might still be out there, the desire for revenge burned fiercely in his heart.

Talon didn't have to search for long before spotting Quinn leaning against the wall, patiently waiting for him so they could spar together.

"Quinn..." Talon's voice emerged in a whisper, his emotions almost overwhelming him. Deep within, however, he was never this joyful, he barely remembered the last time he was this happy.
