Forgiving is better than hating forever

Many thoughts were swirling inside Erik's mind as he walked. Noah told him that Amber and their friends were currently together, talking.

They had been part of the support teams and saw and did many things.

They were not together to talk about what happened on the battlefield but to stay with Emily. The news of his father's capture did not sit well with the young woman.

Richard's captivity wasn't the only thing the clone told his master. He explained to Erik the situation in detail. The rescue operation had been successful, but it had also been savage.

However, the losses they had suffered weighed heavily on his heart.

Friends and colleagues vanished in the flash of an eye—people with kids, people with dreams and aspirations. Gone, like the fleeting smoke of a dying fire.

However, despite the tragic events and the resulting casualties, his father was successfully rescued from the Blackguards.
