Chapter 78. Tragedy

Lyra POV

I hear the piercing scream of death coming from not far to the side of my coach, and I knew immediately that it is Maggie. It causes a shudder in my heart that makes me grasp my chest to still it.

Looking through the window, there are just too many trees and too many warriors walking through that section of the forest to see her, so I tear out through the coach door and run without shutting the door.

“Luna Queen!”

I’ve forgotten the guards Cassian had stationed beside me. “Follow me,” I yell back.

They do so without question, dodging the warriors, who attempted to get out of my way, as well as the many trees and bushes between here and the screams, which have now evolved into wailing and weeping.

Please, Goddess. Don’t let it be Oscar.
