"I'm coming too," Zyra said not to be ignored. 

She felt like if she continued to let Leon speak over her and continue to issue commands, it would be only a matter of time before everyone turned to Leon for advice instead of her. This was still her greatest fear at the back of her mind, was Leon wrestling control of the group.

"When did he even drift away from the group," Nyla asked.

Verity groaned loudly, "Damn it, to Terranite hell, we are doomed."
