Chapter 72 : A Sea of Stars

“I know the perfect place to watch the meteor shower,” Eros said. “It isn’t too much of a hike into the mountains.”

He led the way and Ashley eagerly followed along with him.

Payne seemed to have a perpetual frown on his lips as he stared after his sister and the stranger.

“Lighten up, Payne,” Soren said, clapping him on the shoulder. “If he steps out of line, at least, we’ll be on a cliff and can throw him off.”

Payne scoffed and went ahead. Though, I caught the slight glimmer of amusement in Payne’s eyes.

I stepped up beside Soren. “You wouldn’t really throw Eros off a cliff, would you?”

Soren shrugged. “It depends on what he does. If he went after you or Ashley, I wouldn’t have a choice.”

“I suppose that’s logical,” I said, nodding.

“Mila, we don’t know anything about him yet. I’ll be on guard until I can determine he isn’t a threat,” he promised me.

I smiled and nodded. His words made me feel much safer about following Eros into the mountains.

We hiked up into the mountains. It wasn’t very far and we arrived as the sun started to set. Eros brought us to a clearing in the mountains. The path flattened out and we were nestled in an area large enough for a campsite.

“This is beautiful,” I said, walking around the site. We had a perfect view of the sky without the mountains or any trees obstructing our view.

The evening air was starting to cool off and I rubbed my arms, shivering. It wasn’t too cold, though. It felt nice after the rigorous hike into the mountains, refreshing.

“We’ll be able to see the whole sky from up here,” Ashley gushed.

“It seems like there is just enough time to get the camp set up,” Eros suggested. “I’m still hungry from lunch, so I’ll throw together some snacks.”

Payne and Soren shrugged and then immediately got to work on setting up the tents. Ashley hovered around Eros for a bit while he pulled all our food rations out. Eventually, she took off mumbling something about collecting firewood.

I took a seat near Eros and helped prepare snacks.

“Veggies and dip, I think that’s the best idea,” Eros said, handing me some cucumbers, carrots, and a green pepper. “If you slice, I’ll stir.”

“Sure,” I said, shaking my head.

Since we’d just restocked before leaving Marno territory, we still had fresh foods that didn’t usually last long on a trip. It was better to eat them now before they went bad. We had plenty of non-perishable snacks for the next few days.

I focused on cutting up the veggies and arranged them on a plate. Eros provided the dip.

Payne and Soren finished with the tents. They immediately dug into the veggie platter.

Ashley returned with an armful of firewood.
