The group feeling was somber. Arianna and Meridian were beside themselves with grief, and everyone was struggling with the swiftness of the events that took away one of their most beloved and followed leaders of their world.
Relic, who was never at a loss for words, couldn’t find it within himself to find the words of comfort that had escaped him. He and Luna sat next to the pair in pain and support. Slaten and Pramlee sat with Janus and Cora, who despite their animosity toward Meridian, had the look of compassion for her.
“I know you do not want to hear this, but you and Pramlee need to go back to the palace and try to make some amends with your father. Not doing so will leave the situation even worse,” Chance spoke out.
“No way, man! We are not about to go back to him!”
Slaten was cross. As forgiving natured as she was, Pramlee agreed.
“Chance, how can you ask us to do this?” Slaten hissed.
