Jacob walked with Maria by his side towards the gates of the kingdom. Neither of them spoke to each other, but both of them were extremely angry with their group for keeping secrets about the truth of their power. The group had been through everything together, including facing death countless times. However, they always managed to put their differences aside in order to succeed. The entire foundation of their relationship was built on trust.
However, the reveal that they were not trusted with their own powers that could have been used to help them or possibly save more people's lives was a grave insult to everything they had been striving for.
Jacob angrily pushed open the gate of the kingdom. Steel hinges moaned as it tried to fight against his push. Avala was standing by watching him leave.
"Leaving so soon? Was the news that rude boy gave you really so terrible?"
Jacob glared at Avala with malice.
"Do me a favor and give them some news for me."
