Chapter 23

Bo-lo-to

“Do you see how they run?”, I asked and turned to Si-ri.

She stood next to me, watching the weave set in motion, depicting Hamid and the others as they travelled.

“I do.”

She turned away, and I frowned. She had not been herself lately.

“What is troubling you? Isn’t this what we’ve waited for?”

“It is.”

She turned back to me.

“It is, my love.”, she repeated.

“Are you having regrets?”

“No…”

She shook her head and came over, putting a hand on my shoulder.

“I’m just worrying if we’ll be strong enough. Do we really know we can defeat them?”

I snorted.

“Of course we know. With all the powers we have gathered, fighting for the Masters of the Universe, how can we not?”

I took her hand.

“Do not fear, my love. This is our chance. They will not see us defeated.”

She nodded, and laid a gentle kiss on my cheek and left. Nerves, I thought. She had always been the weak one, never sure of the path. But she would see, we would not fail this time.
