After Aurora's revelation that they were back home, a heavy silence hung in the air. Leo stood frozen, memories of the village engulfed in flames resurfacing in his mind. This time, however, he didn't turn away from them. He faced the memories head-on, and the pain etched into his features was palpable.
A single tear trickled down Leo's cheek. Aurora, noticing his distress, asked gently, "What is it, Leo? We rebuilt our home."
Leo wiped away the tear and took a deep breath before responding, "Did you happen to see Asher's body?"
Trex and Livian exchanged puzzled glances, while Aurora's gaze dropped to the floor. She spoke with a heavy heart, "We did, Leo. We gave him a proper burial on the hills that overlook the sunsets at night."
Leo was overcome with emotion. He pulled Aurora into a tight embrace, gratitude and sorrow mingling in his eyes. "Thank you so much," he whispered. "I must go pay my respects to him before anything else."
