Chương 216: Talk of Peace

If you like music when you read, try "Animal" by AG and MOONZz. It's the perfect accompaniment for Zev's feelings here.

~ ZEV ~

Zev's entire body hummed with tension as he prowled across the grass towards the center of the valley. He was bracketed by Lhars, Skhal, Kyelle, and Sasha. After some discussion, they'd left Jayah back in the trees with Zan. And Skhal with her, watching over both of them.

Zev hadn't said it out loud, but if things went the direction he suspected they would today, he wanted Jayah stuck with Skhal on their side. Sasha would lose her mind if the healer wasn't there at the end of the day.

Tarkyn and Harth were strangely absent and at first he'd let it bother him, but then he realized it only meant that Tarkyn was returning to his favorite Queen, and Harth had decided to go with him. And Zev realized that was just good riddance.
