Chương 242: The Countdown Begins (4)

We had fun that evening, despite the looming threat of war over us. We decided to leave the planning, the worrying and the anxiousness to tomorrow. After all our battles, the Divine Pillars we destroyed and the Ereth we killed, we had deserved a day of rest.

And so, we ate, we drank, we chatted and went to sleep fairly early. For the first time in months, I felt like I didn't see some weird dream. No memories of lives long lost, no nightmares, nothing.

I woke up at dawn well rested and ready to face whatever the world decided to throw at me.

Or so I thought.

I was not prepared for the horrible thunderstorm that followed the clear, cloudless sky. I gritted my teeth as I looked through the windows.

"Damn…" Mona mumbled. "It's as dark as night." 

"Can Victoria even find this place in such weather?" Laura asked, worried. I honestly couldn't answer. I was worried about the same thing, and from the looks on their faces, so were the others.
