C27 I Will Not Abandon You, Jake!

Aarhea’s Point of View

The council chamber was loud, filled with voices, doubts, and accusations.

Warriors stood against the walls, their faces tense. The elders sat in their high seats, waiting for proof And in the center Jake who was waiting, bound in silver chains, his head held high even though they tried to strip him of dignity.

I kept my expression carefully unreadable.

Amara, Logan
