Description
"So, what do you do when the whole world is falling apart? Who do you protect?" Gabriel asked as he gazed at the water, watching, transfixed, as it flowed across the skin of his palm. "You protect yourself and you love relentlessly," Sage said before she leaned back on the blanket that lay on the ground and stared up at the stars that were just beginning to twinkle in the setting sun. The fire crackled near them and a few small pieces of burning wood flew into the air and twirled around in the breeze as Gabriel began to speak again. "What if you protect the ones you love?" His question brought her up short and she sat in silence, finding herself momentarily at a loss for words. Gabriel looked up when he realized she was not going to speak and he moved from the waters edge, lying down beside her on the blanket. They lay there and looked at the stars before Sage turned her head to the side to look at him after a particularly long moment. Her eyes twinkled in the firelight, an almost menacing look taking over her features as she whispered, "You die." __ In the kingdom of Aphelion, a girl resounds in an Academy that was built centuries ago to house her people.
