Chapter 218: Shadows

The stars twinkled brightly in the sky and almost like reflections in a river, the streets of the kingdom also shone with bright lights showing signs of life amongst the people. Boris chuckled lightly, his chest feeling heavy as he cast a silent wish into the peaceful, quiet night. 

'Please don't be one of the stars in that sky,' Boris thought to himself as he looked up into the sky, 'please come back soon.'

He sat there for a moment with no movement almost like he was waiting for a response, then seconds later turned back to face the room, another chuckle leaving his lips. 'How foolish I am.'

He stood up from the chair and walked to the couch in the middle of the room, in front of the table where he stood over the couch for a few seconds before sitting down heavily on the soft cushions. His eyelids were heavy.
