CANE

I waited patiently for Ken to return, but he seemed to be taking longer than expected. I paced back and forth in my office, my mind racing with thoughts of what could be keeping him. Ava sat on the couch, her eyes fixed on the floor.

Suddenly, she looked up at me, a hint of disappointment in her eyes. "I want to go back," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.

I stopped pacing and turned to her, my heart sinking. "Go back where?" I asked, trying to keep my tone neutral.

    CANE'S POVI sat beside Ava, watching as she slowly opened her eyes to the quiet peace of the healer's hut. The war felt like a distant nightmare, a memory that seemed to belong to another life.

I felt a wave of relief wash over me, filling the empty space that fear had carved inside my chest.As she stirred awake, my heart swelled with emotion. I had been so afraid of losing her, of being left to face the darkness alone. But she was alive, and that was all that mattered.

The tunnel was narrow, the air was cold, and the walls were rough, showing that we were deep underground, a labyrinth of stone and shadow.I led my group of warriors, a team of skilled fighters, a band of brothers.
