ZAIA.
Valerie freezes as she lands on the ground, backing up as Zion’s voice fills the sky.
This isn’t a place I want him, where the dead are all around. I’m happy Aran has Sia’s head against his shoulder, but clearly Zion didn’t comply.
“Stop, Mommy! Stop, Daddy! Stop everybody, don’t you get it? You have to stop fighting!” Zion says, slapping his forehead as he looks over at Zade, who is watching him sharply. “We have to stop.”
“Never, kid.” Zade scoffs.
“I’m not going to stop! He killed Jai!” Sebastian snarls.
Zion looks at me, and I see the sadness in his eyes. “So many people have gone back to the Goddess… She doesn’t want any more fighting.”
“Yeah, just one last person to take care of,” Atticus says, his eyes hard as he, Valerie, and Sebastian ready themselves to attack Zade.
“I guess the kid’s words hold no value.” Zade mocks as he raises his own hands.
Zion looks down, sadness etched across his face, a child who, despite it not being his age to be thrown into this was trying to help and do the right thing.
Blinding light from their auras lights up the sky and for the first time, I hesitate.
