(Amaia)
My heart is so heavy, I feel like I am drowning in the hole Rigel has left behind even though I understand why he did it. The endless pain I had witnessed in his eyes was because he hurt me.
And that Blood Oath he took. What consequences is that oath going to have? The very thought makes me tremble.
"What object did Rigel use while taking the blood oath?" I ask Mintaka, who is helping me pack my bag for our travel while I place my sword and charmed dagger inside.
He freezes at my sudden question, his lips bunching up in a silent plea not to ask him that.
I place my hands on my waist. "You guys are hiding too much stuff from me. Don't do that, Min. I know you are only trying to protect me but please."
Min places the shirt he is folding into my bag and pulls me in for a hug. He rubs his nose into my hair.
