THE PROGRESSING WAR

Present Time,

Twelve hours passed before Zeda saw Kamaz again. She had shocked him with her request and he had mumbled some words as an excuse and left her in the tub.

She came out from the room in search of him after she had sent him numerous messages and he had not responded to any. She had also called him and it was the same.

He was ignoring her.

If not because she knew his words in the tub had been genuine, she would have thought he had made it up on the spot so that they wouldn’t have had to continue.

She had a shawl wrapped around her shoulders as she made her way down the stairs. There had been no one in the hallway, and she didn’t run into anyone on the stairs. Strange!

She arrived at the Grand Hall, which usually had someone either lying around looking depressed or a small group of persons talking, and there was no one in sight.

She was feeling lightly stretched and about to go back up the stairs when she heard a sound, and it seemed to be coming from outside.
