They traveled together.
Not by choice.
But by fate.
Kaela didn't trust him.
Ryven didn't understand her.
Yet neither walked away.
One night, under a sky full of stars, Kaela spoke:
"Why didn't you kill me?"
Ryven stared at the fire.
"…Because I think the world is lying about you."
Kaela looked at him, surprised.
"And if it's not?"
He met her gaze.
"Then I'll be the one to end you."
