Fallen Star City…
By the time everyone finished burning the bodies and gathering up whatever important supplies were left in the city, dusk had already rolled in.
Most of the buildings had collapsed, so there was no "indoors" tonight. We'd be sleeping out in the street.
Near the center of Fallen Star City, Garrick had reshaped the ground into a temporary dirt mound—basically a crude bunker. The whole Fallen Star Squad was inside, huddled around a fire and grilling meat.
That was when Aurora crept up to the entrance, careful like she was afraid one wrong step would get her yelled at.
"Ethan… can I come in?"
"Yeah. Come in." Ethan nodded.
"Thanks!"
Aurora slipped inside and sat down in an open spot next to Miles.
"Ethan… are we really wiping out the Silverlake City compound tomorrow?"
"Yeah." Ethan didn't hesitate.
