Chapter: The War That Approaches

Layla watched as Queen Juno aimed to take her life. A swift cut was all it would take to end it in seconds. Was there anything she could do? Would anyone be able to help her? 

Layla knew there was no way she could fight a royal. Even Zane had lost after just one hit— resulting in the paralysis of his entire body due to a cracked spine. Even if he were to help, there was no way he could move until his spine healed itself.

"Wait!" Suddenly shouted Zane.

Queen Juno stopped as she looked at Zane. She doubted he could do anything to change her mind, but she was willing to hear him out.

"What is it, Zane? There's nothing you can do to save her life."

"You may be right. But if you kill her, I will refrain from working with the Anunnaki! There will be nothing you can do to change my mind!"
