The Husband

Isadora kept her hood up to cover her ears. She stepped through the village entrance and was welcomed with a sight she had never seen before.

The place brimmed with life, filled with laughter and the playful screams from children. Her eyes followed each carefree child as they ran, playing chase.

One of them bumped into her. He stepped back with an apologetic face that reminded her of Cai.

"Sorry."

"I-it's okay."

He gave a wide grin that showed all his teeth as he ran ahead to his friends.

"Not what you expected, is it?" Logi said, striding toward her, eyes briefly looking around the place, his mind still trying to wrap around it.

It was unusual for him, too. He expected something gloomy, however, the light-headed scenery was surprising.

"Logi."

"Where's Kraven?"

Isadora tensed at his words. "He…" she paused, not knowing what to say.
