Chapter 42.
Alyssa's POV.
NIGHT CAME faster than I expected. I took a deep breath and thought of how everything would be and look like when it was all over. I attempted to ignore the sensation and instead concentrate on the work ahead. Our only chance of stopping the evil lord was the relic buried in the Shadowlands, thus I knew we had to get it at all expenses. While Lucien was still asleep and had poor breathing, Raiden had insisted on carrying him. Every few minutes, I would catch a quick peek at him and pray he would wake up soon. We need his wisdom and power. More than that though, I wanted to know he was alright. My shame squeezed my chest each time I glanced at him.
