Sorry for all the delay, but here you go!
Chapter 25: Aggress
The night settles down in the sky, casting a dark line out into the sea of buildings and businesses. Despite all the recent chaos, the night of the city was most tranquil. The seemingly everlasting silence caped the entire city. The streets of concrete and stone lead straight into the middle of the city like veins into the heart of a human. The eerie albeit serene silence made traveling outside a bit creepy.
Within the walls of solid white limestone and wooden support beams, hundreds of books still embraced the frigid stone floor. The young magic user, Moriah sat quietly on a small wooden chair in front of the calm sea of books and papers. Her crystal blue eyes sluggishly scrolling across the great ocean of ink. Her face stuck under the mask of apathy as her breath quietly synchronized with her beating heart.
The moonlight was the only light lit anywhere. It peered through a small window to the north of the room, shining a small white light down at the right side of Moriah's face. All that surrounded her were empty bookshelves with nothing to call their own. The boy she rescued from the grasp of the blight laid asleep on a small dark emerald green couch beside Moriah.
Her mind glanced at many different thoughts about what tomorrow may hold. She couldn't help herself when it came down to it. She was greatly concerned about the day, especially about the fact that they must head into the arms of the enemy once again in order to obtain Zion's body. It was an overwhelming apprehension that couldn't escape her thoughts.
The end
is only
the beginning...
