ARA 1

I sucked in on my breath as reality hit me. I was as scared as everyone as we rode through the now quiet forest except the man behind me who was as calm as nature.

"If the war eventually comes, will you kill your brother?" I murmured knowing he could hear me.

"Yes." Came his immediate reply. He didn't even think twice before letting those words out of his mouth. They hated each other so much that they would kill each other.

"They've already seen the Queen consort with us. They wouldn't be dumb to follow them." Everett said next to us. He sounded so dispirited.

"We'll let the land do its deeds then."

I felt bad for putting them through all of these troubles. They might probably hate me now. Because of me, they get to lose their sleep and fight a war they didn't quite bargain for.
