STOLEN FATES OF THE UNKNOWN 1

The group settled in a quiet village nestled in the valley, a temporary respite from their relentless pursuit of peace. The air was filled with the scent of fresh bread and the sound of children’s laughter, a stark contrast to the chaos they had just escaped. 


Cassian stood by the window of their small lodging, watching the villagers go about their daily lives. Lira approached him, her steps still hesitant as she regained her strength. “It’s peaceful here,” she murmured, leaning against the window frame. 


Cassian nodded, his gaze distant. “Too peaceful. It’s almost unsettling.” 


Lira placed a gentle hand on his arm. “We’ve earned this moment of peace. Don’t let your guard down, but try to rest. We’ll need our strength for what’s to come.” 


Cassian turned to her, his eyes softening. “You’re right. But it’s hard to shake the feeling that something is still out there, waiting.”
