Darion was walking around the training yard when she spotted Jophiel walk in with a basket of fruits. For some odd reason, his heart raced. But he was not ready to face her, not now. He hid behind a pillar that was only able to mask half of his body.
Jophiel would have taken the hallway that led to Elena's chambers but she chose to use the garden pavement. She thought Elena might be there since it was a sunny afternoon.
Upon stepping on this pavement, she spotted a silhouette of a man hidden behind a pillar in the most ridiculous way. Those strong arms, and the signature black boots. His face popped in her mind.
Before she knew it, she was already standing behind him. From the looks of it, he was trying to avoid her by pretending to be staring at the knights who were training below the yard.
"Darion?" She called.
Darion swallowed the lump in his throat. His nightmare was undoubtedly here, and there was no way out!
