Another POV 2

Use other abilities?

Did my Axiom even have other abilities?

How could I even use them?

Sett seemed to trust me a bit too much.

I am not like you, I thought. I will make a mistake. I am not…

He held my hand.

My thoughts settled down, feeling much better.

Sett sat down, calm as ever, while I stood behind him, my hands shaking. Zarah stayed close, her breathing shallow, her innocence cracking under the weight of what was coming.

Burrhen watched us, oblivious, sipping his wine like a fool. 

I hated him—hated his smugness, his threats, the way he'd looked at Zarah like she was a bargaining chip. I hated his subordinates, too.

But kill him?

He was a Tier 2 Axiom Holder, if what we had learned was true. 

We couldn't even defeat his subordinate—how could we possibly defeat him?

"Can we talk to the side?" Sett asked, gesturing casually.
