A few days passed, and things began to settle down.
Reports of Justice's activities had become sparse, and the eerie tension that had been hanging in the air seemed to dissipate.
Selene allowed herself to relax—just a little.
For the first time in a while, she felt like she could breathe without constantly looking over her shoulder.
'It feels so calm. The raging headache is gone and I feel like I can do anything.'
Since she felt so calm, Selene decided that it was time for her to test her boundaries. Usually, she would have been more cautious heading out, but today felt like a great day to push her boundaries.
Also, with Justice's activities happening less frequently, it was the safest time for her to be out and about.
At breakfast, she pushed her empty plate aside and stood up.
"I'm going to run an errand. I need a few things from the town and also need to check out the situation. I will leave in a short while."
