Chapter 156- Trust

For a while, the two hugged each other, not moving from where they were. Acrypha continued crying silently in Talon's embrace, letting everything she pent up out in one fell sweep.

Talon simply caressed her hair gently as he waited for her to calm down. He was glad that Acrypha was able to get all of her emotions out but also really sad to see her this broken. He could never imagine how losing her family felt like and he frankly didn't wish to feel it either.

It was a horrible sensation, akin to losing a huge chunk of one's heart in a single moment. Even for someone as strong-willed as Acrypha who was far from a human even in terms of feelings and emotional intelligence, she couldn't handle this loss and he didn't blame her for that.

'Whoever did this to her… I will make them pay for it… I will definitely make them regret it.' Closing his eyes, Talon took an oath upon himself at that moment.
