Chapter 76: The Sudden Storm
They resumed their journey after the short lunch break and continued to travel for the next couple of hours without any disturbance.
The only minor change that he noticed was the lack of conversation between her and Kenric, the man was almost ignoring even looking in her direction and at one point, his lack of attention towards her started bugging her brain.
Still, she didn’t try to talk to him as she was still pretty much aware that Damian won’t appreciate her trying to distract his brother and if something happened, she would possibly become the bad guy in his eyes.
Since the ride was comfortable, she ended up falling asleep, and when she finally woke up after a few hours had passed, the situation outside was no longer the same. They had stopped once again but this time it was not for taking a break.
Annalise watched from the carriage window as dark clouds started covering the sky. Just a couple of minutes ago, it was still bright and sunny, and now, the weather had taken a sudden turn.
"It doesn’t look like any normal rain, a storm seems to be coming." Damian’s voice was loud enough for her to hear and as she gazed at the dark clouds, she too could feel that there was going to be more than just normal rain.
"We must hurry and find a shelter," Kenric stated as his eyes ran through their surroundings as if to search for the right direction for a good shelter. She watched as his eyes became darker as he concentrated his powers and continued with his search.
Seconds turned into minutes, and the sky only got darker with each passing minute. A cold breeze had started blowing and a little bit of lightning could be seen on the farthest south corner of the sky.
"There, on our east. There’s a cave that can shelter us." Kenric’s voice pulled her attention back to him and she watched the other lords coming together to discuss things. Since she could not be of any help, she decided to stay silent and let them handle the situation.
