Lucius'POV
My life here has been a mess. A complete disaster.
As Kiara left, I went back to give her a sword, and somehow… I kissed he. Ariel hasn't asked. She knows, somehow, that her mother has left us. Every now and then, I see her up on the rooftop, staring out over the city where she and Chiara used to share a drink. And then… there's Elena. She hasn't been herself lately. The brightness in her eyes has dimmed, her usual joy stripped away as if it were taken from her hands.
