But impossible to ignore. What then was Adrian about on the border?

“Liam’s a good boy. Heather, you have to do right by him in the future. By the way, is this your friend?” When Mia regarded me in confusion, Liam hurriedly explained, “She’s just a stranger who came to ask for directions. The wind’s pretty strong out here, Mia. Go inside. You don’t want to catch a cold.” As I listened to the friendly way he spoke with Mia, I found it hilarious and headed out. Liam tried to chase after me, but Heather spoke again. “It’s almost time for the wedding. Let’s go in. Our friends are waiting.” Then, the church bells tolled.

The air grew heavy as we neared the border, where a small group of warriors stood in a tight formation. They parted as we approached, revealing the message left behind. A single wooden stake was driven into the ground, a tattered black cloth tied around it. Carved into the wood was a simple but chilling message:
