“Lord River.” Tamara scoffed. “What a ridiculous name. I heard the whole welcome. Not once was that fucking stupid name mentioned.” Tamara smirked. Araiya and Tal both started choking. Araiya was choking on food and Tal on his drink. “No, I am sure my name wasn’t given, but do you know what title is given?…

“Of course, you’re Chosen.” “Then let me help you. Let me in so I can save you,” Tal pleaded. Araiya was confused. Let him in where? She was going to ask, but it didn’t matter. Her lungs stopped working. She couldn’t breathe. This is how Araiya Hill was going to die. Pathetic really. She wished…
