Price of Victory

A long distance away, in the land covered by purple flames, several women stood together with tense and nervous expressions on their faces. Alice stood away from the group as she stared into the sky.

She bit her lip and clenched her fists. This was by far the most dangerous fight Jayden had ever been in, yet there was nothing any of them could do to help him in any way.

Then she felt a hand softly placed over her shoulder. Alice turned her head and saw Anna standing beside her with a small smile.

Anna looked as beautiful as ever, wearing a blood red dress though her face seemed pale and solemn. Clearing her throat, she spoke:

"Don't worry, Jayden will be fine. He is very strong— stronger than anyone I have ever met— and he won't leave his family… and his child."
