The fade

"Drax," Ariadne called out as he looked for her husband.

It was morning, he needed him to read and translate the book of leaves to her. The future of the world depended on it and he was no where to be found. .

She had given in to his request and didnt see why he would go back on his word. She walked out of the house and found her warriors all standing before her with their heads bowed to her.

"Uhm..good morning," she greeted to them.

She was confused as to why they gathered before her so early in the morning. Despite her greeting none of them lifted their heads. She nervously stood before them with a weak smile, her heart skittering in wonder of what ritual they were practising by standing there.

She searched around for her right hand and second in command but they weren't anywhere to be seen. Her husband was lazy at his job and her friends were no where to be seen.
