The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it.
Milo was living her life in bliss with the ignorance of a five year old, she wasn't waiting for her life to start. It had already begun when she found Zane as her brother.
But the Emberlord ordered Kairon to fetch Milo from the room and just as the doors of the Cathedral went shut, Kairon mouthed the words:
"Consider her dead."
THUD!
The doors finally closed and Zane's entire body itched as if ants crawled all over his skin.
———
After stepping out, Kairon wasted no time and walked to the building that had the Dorms for the Students.
He saw the reception desks and since he knew where the lady with the glasses sat, he went to that table right away.
The table at the corner.
There was no one present in the Citadel at the moment.
It was empty.
The air itself had gone to attend the prayer of the First Flame.
