Mirel clenched his jaw until it ached, the grind of his teeth loud in his skull.
Despite everything that Master Tobias had done for him and the others, he needs to be realistic.
From the first day of being under Master Tobias' wing, he was told that there would be a price to pay in the future. Until this moment, he didn't know what the price would be, but he started to see that it was a great price.
One that would cost him everything, and he didn't want that.
Nothing is free in this world.
Being saved from that dark room comes with a great price.
A price that might even be worse than the fate waiting for him if Master Tobias hadn't stepped in.
Bam!
Mirel shoved Master Tobias hard against the wall, his elbow grinding into the man's neck as the carved wall shuddered under the impact like a crack of thunder. His gaze bored into Master Tobias' eyes, rage boiling over, "You… You can't be trusted."
His breath came fast, each exhale searing with the heat of barely restrained rage.
