Sting of betrayal
Venturing to the shamans, I discovered them seated in a mystical circle, hands intertwined, engaged in an enigmatic ritual that resonated with an otherworldly aura.
Returning to Athena's confinement, I awaited the stroke of midnight. The shamans later joined me. My head soldier stood by my side, a silent guardian in the impending mystical events.
“We will need to be alone,” the shaman insisted.
I gave a sign to my soldier to stand aside, emphasizing the solemnity of the moment.
“Alone,” the man repeated, catching my stern gaze.
I maintained a fierce expression, a silent command that spoke volumes. After a hesitant pause, he mumbled, “No problem, you can stay.”
