Zara walked slowly along the stone pathway leading to the training grounds, her mind a storm of unanswered questions. The air was crisp, and the sky stretched wide, but even the serene environment couldn't settle her troubled thoughts. The encounter with Jennifer had left her shaken and uneasy. It felt as though every step she took led her deeper into a mystery she couldn't unravel.
Since the incident in the maze, she'd noticed strange changes within herself. Her emotions, once so easily stirred, now felt tempered, distant. Her willpower had grown stronger, and her mind was sharper, her instincts more heightened. Yet, with this newfound strength came a nagging sense of something deeper, something hidden. It clawed at her, urging her to seek the truth that Denzal and Devonte had so carefully kept from her.
