They were done dealing with the zombies when suddenly, Sheloah received a call from Sir Erick. She answered the call and put it on loud speaker.
"Sir, are the others safe?"
"Yes, they are," he answered and Sheloah sighed in relief. "Although a lot of people are hurt so we need to set camp here first before we continue with our travel," he added and Sheloah clicked her tongue.
'This was expected.'
"Roger. Tell Veon that I will be going to where you guys are," she added then Sheloah ended the call.
Sheloah sat on the floor for a while to rest. She sighed when she realized that around her laid the corpses of her cherished classmates. Before she knew it, she was already crying.
Shannara noticed this and her expression showed hurt. She knelt down beside Sheloah and gave her an embrace, comforting her.
"Most of them died protecting the others. It's something worth dying for, right? You put them out of their misery, too," she said and now Sheloah couldn't hold back her tears.
