'...we won't ever have to worry about losing you two to the Granians.'
Those words the Granian Lord had spoken echoed in Ace's mind repeatedly, like a broken record player replaying the same note over and over again.
As he followed Gravax mindlessly, Ace struggled to understand what the Granian Lord had meant. It didn't help that instead of answering his question directly, Gravax had deflected and dismissed it.
'What happened to Jim and Anya?' he wondered as Gravax led them outside the warehouses.
Other Granians passed by them constantly, receiving instructions, requesting feedback, or carrying out various tasks.
None of it registered with the Blood Prince.
He was lost in his own thoughts. The disappearance of his two human allies gnawed at him more and more until eventually...
"Gravax,"
Ace's voice rang out loudly, stopping the Granian Lord in his tracks. But Gravax didn't turn around.
