Chapter 29

The rogue attack had shaken the entire mansion. Even now, days later, the lingering scent of blood and burnt wood clung to the air. We underestimated how much was damage was done. Nathan and I tried to measure up the amount of damage and it turned out some families lost their home and others their source of livelihood.

It seems that so many people knew about the prophecy more than me. It was not just surprising but frustrating too. Even with all of this, the thing that haunted me the most wasn't the attack itself.
It was me.
