Capítulo 129: Surprised

But that wasn't the most pressing issue. The bracelet, the signs of struggle, the forbidden magic— it all painted a grim picture. It couldn't be, right? Edward couldn't have done the unthinkable!

Annora was the heroine of the story! She should be fine! She couldn't have... Edward couldn't have... Could this world even survive without her? Adeline started to panic. Her life... Everyone else's life would be at stake. 

She didn't want to admit it. She closed her eyes. Adeline's chest tightened as the thought crossed her mind. Was Annora… Dead?

"No," she muttered to herself, clutching the bracelet tightly. "That can't be."

She stood, her mind a whirlwind of thoughts. If Annora had died here, what did that mean for the story? For the future? Was this another consequence of her meddling? Or was it something else entirely—an event that was meant to happen all along?
