Chapter 25: Tongue Of The Gods
Amelia? Her faction was allied with Rafael’s. Her group primarily monopolized the river. Looking at them, they didn’t seem sick to me, but it was only a matter of time.
"We... we can’t just let you take what is rightfully ours."
"We had a deal," Luna spoke up, maybe fearing I would do something to them. "If Amelia were here, she would never allow you to steal from us."
Hmm? How does Luna know so much about Amelia?
The boys silenced and hung their heads in shame.
"I know, but... she’s trying so hard! Some of our people are starting to get sick. We promised her that we would find supplies. How can we go back empty handed?"
So they are getting sick.
At his words and gloomy expression, Luna looked back at me with a pleading look on her face; I already knew what she wanted to ask.
They were in a tough situation and this might be an opportunity.
I took off my mask so they could see my face, then walked over to the boy who looked like he was about to have a mental breakdown and handed him the bag of supplies.
"Since your group is more in need of it than we are, you can take it," I said.
