Chapter 32

• Thousand upon thousands of soldiers marching towards the castle is enough to make anyone frightened. As the two girls watch with worry the soldiers come closer and closer with every second that passes. One terrified to be sent back to that awful prison while one is terrified of the soldiers themselves. In her village, men would sometimes go to fight in the wars, and most of the time they never came back. She would never want that for someone, for someone to suffer like that, she knows that she wouldn't have survived if her brothers had been sent to the wars. She doesn't know who sent the soldiers but she does know that those soldiers are not going to be friendly ones.
• "They're coming for you, aren't they?" Athena asks after finding her own voice.
• She's been so lost in a trance of watching them grow closer and closer. They are far away, yet it will not be long before they come here and who knows what will happen then. She doesn't want to think of the worst case scenario of what could happen.
