Time ticked by and preparations were underway.
Everyone's reaction to the news wasn't much surprise, but rather an expectation fulfilled.
They all heard Emir's words before mentioning such things, it was natural.
Kiera was one of those people.
She, Emma, and Jake were chosen to be the main force of this secret mission.
Of course, Lyra and Ragnar were too, totaling them to six.
And today, which was Saturday morning, she was about to join them in the dining room as per the request of her boss.
He mentioned that something very important was about to happen.
But, as she reached in front of the gate and stepped in, she was met with the one last thing she could have ever expected.
The others in her group, including her boss and his older sister, Lily, sat around the table, appearing to play a card game.
They all stared down at their cards like they held the fate of the universe in their hands.
