After a battle that lasted several hours, the Garden regained its original silence, and the scared birds found the courage to chirp and venture around again.
Only one young man remained in the garden, his breathing slow and steady as he leaned against the altar. The lifeless body of Brandon Delavoic lay a dozen meters away, a testament to the intensity of the battle that had taken place.
After a minute, the figure of a breathtaking woman landed softly on the ground. Her presence exuded an aura of strength and wisdom that seemed to command respect from the very nature around her.
Her sapphire and silver eyes first landed on Brandon's corpse, her expression unreadable, before shifting to Edward, who lay sleeping with a pained expression on his face.
