Lara heard a voice, a voice she hoped she would never hear again. It was him, it was Zack… And his name, his voice, his presence brought back memories she wished were forgotten forever.
Many years before, in her small and forgotten village….
"What happened?" Lara asked in a gentle tone.
In front of her stood her childhood friend: a small boy with beautiful green eyes filled with tears. The boy had a bruise on his cheek, another on his knee, and his clothes were completely dirty.
At the time, Lara was only 13 years old and still lived in the Rimefang Village, and she had just been selected as the sacred virgin. And that would also be her last year in that place, though she didn't know it yet.
Still visibly shaken by what had happened, the boy hesitated to answer the question. Perhaps he didn't want to involve his friend in his problems.
