"What the fuck are you talking about?" Ezra asked, his irritation sharpening his voice.
Guy barely reacted. The man only sighed, as if Ezra's temper was the least surprising thing in the world.
"You haven't heard, eh?"
"Obviously not," Ezra said flatly. "So tell me."
Guy took a slow breath before speaking again.
"One of our first missions as the new Sunward Sentinels was here," he said. "This village."
Ezra listened quietly.
Guy rarely spoke like this. Usually he was loud, careless, and joking about something. But now his tone was different.
Heavy.
"We got word there was a Dark One hiding here," Guy continued. "Only one. So Prince Helios took a small group of us to handle it."
He shrugged slightly.
"There was no need to bring a full force if it was just a single one."
Ezra nodded faintly but said nothing.
Guy kept going.
"When we got here, we found a woman."
"A woman?" Ezra repeated.
Guy nodded.
