Author's Note: Unedited Chapter
------------
Philip was fifteen so he wasn't that much old but his physique made him look like he was agemates with Gustav and Angy.
Philip's eyes lit up with excitement. "You really are the strongest! Everyone won't stop talking about you at school."
Angy rolled her eyes, but there was a fond smile on her face as she watched the interaction.
Her family had always welcomed Gustav, treating him like one of their own, and seeing them together like this made her feel like, for just a moment, things were normal.
"Why don't you all sit down and relax?" Angy's mother suggested, ushering them into the living room. "I'll make something for us to eat."
Gustav, Endric, Wilendor, and Angy followed her lead, settling into the cozy living room.
For a while, the conversation flowed easily, the warmth of the home a vastly different to the chaos that had just ended outside. It was a moment of peace.
