Chapter 66 Heart Of The Island

• The island is different today, softer... almost expectant. The announcement that the element games had ended should have lifted the lingering tension, yet it feels like something unseen still clings to the atmosphere.

• Alaric has said little since we left the beach house, only that there is somewhere he wants to take me.
• The wind is heavy with salt, and a gust lifts my hair as I follow him down a winding dirt road, cutting through the middle of an overgrown forest.
