Capítulo 97: Zombie

MICHAEL

I fell in step behind Cornelius and Miri, dread making my feet feel as heavy as anvils. I longed to fly ahead, to stop whatever was happening and protect Miri from this pain.

Except, I had caused this pain.

Because of me, the Door to Asgard - and the rest for eternal souls - had been closed. Because of me, Miri would endure a kind of sorrow no one ever should.

Desi walked beside me and I had a flash of understanding - this was how she felt most of the time. How she felt about her choice to save Miri. How she felt about…well, everything. She blamed herself and feared there could be no forgiveness. I believed Odin would forgive me - at least I had reason to hope he would. But Heimdall…I doubted I would ever have the right - or the courage - to ask for his forgiveness.

We came from the hall leading to the cathedral into the school, and found it packed full of students.
