Chapter 220: Aaron (2)

Aaron and his father made the first steps to the stairs with heavy hearts; they tried to be as silent as possible, but it wasn't easy, especially considering the thaids sensitivity to noise and vibrations. Aaron's father held his hand tightly as they descended the stairs, trying not to think about what they might find at the bottom. As they descended the stairs, Aaron couldn't help feeling a sense of unease. He had a bad feeling in the pit of his stomach, and his mind was racing with all the possible scenarios that could be waiting for them at the bottom of the stairs. Despite his fear, he knew he had to be brave for his father's sake.

He wondered if they were really doing the right thing by going downstairs, but he couldn't let his father face whatever danger may be lurking alone. Aaron took a deep breath and tightened his grip on his weapon, ready to face whatever awaited them.
