Kapitel 101: Kingdoms in Balance

Azaria 'Ziya' Point of View

The past few weeks have been nothing short of grueling. After the attack during Caspian's Dynria, Khali and I spent days interrogating the captured rebels. Their loyalty to their cause was apparent, as they refused to break under questioning. Each day blurred into the next as we switched tactics, moving from standard interrogation to more severe methods. Torture wasn't something I enjoyed, but it was necessary to protect our people and our kingdom. Khali allowed me and Lilly to take over the sessions, stepping back after witnessing our initial approach. She knew the darkness that lingered in our pasts—how our experiences had shaped us into the ruthless protectors we had become.
