Chapter 16 Xander's Conflict
- Theme: Love vs. Duty
- Aria's POV
- With his back to me and his eyes fixed on the horizon, I notice Xander standing at the edge of the opening. With his stiff shoulders, I can feel the storm building around him. Since that chat, when he warned me of the risks around us, he hasn't been himself. However, there is also another factor. Something more important.
