Instead they broke my life apart, stripping away the only good I had left in it. My team, Tristan, now Adrian? And no matter how hard I look, there’s little hope to finding my familiar. Now that war is on the horizon, hope in general is almost impossible to grasp.&nbsp;</p><br><p>And the darkness only grows. </p><br><p>The Council has let all my preparations for a moment just like this one fall to the wayside, in their overconfidence or - more likely - their arrogance.&nbsp;Our forces are limited and there are rumors of the humans having superior weapons that could cause real damage to us.</p><br><p>And worst of all, to me anyway, the things I’m learning about Tristan tell me I never really knew the man I fell in love with.&nbsp;</p><br><p>I’ve never felt more alone and I know the cost will be heavy if I give them what they’re after. But maybe those monsters will take this burden from me and leave like they promised. Maybe it won’t be so bad.
