Chapter 33: Premonition

Alex watched, entranced as Leo trained, the teenager has been training the past two days nonstop. Perhaps he had been sleeping and or resting when she had fallen asleep herself. 

It was tense. He had attacked her and threatened her numerous times, and this time, he had just accepted her. Did he truly regret what he had done? Or maybe the death of Arlo gave him a change of heart? 

Arlo's funeral was breathtaking in Alex's opinion, Leo had an inspiring speech for his men all the while honoring Arlo's sacrifice. 

Flashback

Leo slowly placed Arlo's corpse onto the wooden platform, made of expertly crafted expensive pine wood that had been gathered from the north. Arlo was dressed in what Alex could only guess was a reaper uniform, it being made of purely white fabric, the hood was down and his hair was clean, as well with the rest of his face, the blood cleaned.
