章 144: He Was Loved

He didn't need permission to enter their chambers, he had always come and gone freely, but the tension in the message they sent earlier made him hesitate for just a moment. Swallowing his nerves, he pushed the door open and stepped inside.

Something important was about to happen.

Julian was the first to speak, stepping closer to him. "Amarok, we need to tell you something. It's… it's important."
