~Dahlia POV~
Shaking Beta Orion's words and attitude out of my mind proved to be a tedious fit and by the time I arrived back at the fortress a few moments later, I was weary, drained and there was a tinge of something else sizzling just beneath the surface of my skin…

I also knew now that the Festival of Lights scheduled for two days time would no longer hold, seeing as all the earlier decorations had been put down, and the lanterns scattering across the streets and hanging above many taverns only a day ago had been deflated. I let out a sigh as I stepped into the house and immediately almost regretted it when I bumped into none other but…
…drumrolls please.
