CHAPTER 88

"It's okay," she told him, her head spinning a bit. "I'm fine now." She looked around a little and quickly realized that they were one member short. "Where's Nero?"

"He went on ahead," Arius explained as he shoved his hands into his pockets. "Now let's get going, but stay close, alright?"

"Okay," she said, falling into step beside him as he began walking. Jaida already knew she wouldn't be able to keep his pace. She was too distracted to pay attention to him right now.

The clouds floating by were black, and there were very few. She could see no sun hanging there, casting light onto their world. It was as if it was naturally bright…but it was so hot.
