Silence reigned for a moment as Ana found herself at a crossroads, torn between hope for a future away from Ra'as and fear for what could be Alex's final battle.
She had always known that the Vow she took during her younger years would come back to bite her.
It trapped her, with no opportunity to ever break loose from it.
Apart from that, it also ensured that the Family Heads held a certain level of control over her.
Of course, not all Family Heads, only those that were able to advance to the realm of a Battle God, and in this generation, Aiden held that title.
Regardless, she'd been terrified, unsure of what to do when the time came to leave the continent to journey to other lands.
She didn't want to be abandoned… no, it had happened once before and she didn't wish for it to happen again.
But the terror infused in her heart toward the Battle God due to the vow she took ensured she couldn't handle the situation alone.
