Chapter 255: A Palace That Could Not Breathe, Questions With No Answers, and a Silence That Refuses to Break
Elyn's POV
Thankfully… somehow… we managed to calm them.
I still wasn't entirely sure how it happened, but one moment everything was spiraling out of control and the next, it slowly began to settle, like a storm that had exhausted itself and decided to quiet down on its own.
Maybe it was Ignivar.
He had a way about him, something steady and controlled that made everything around him feel… anchored. Even when things were falling apart, he didn't move like someone who was panicking, and somehow that alone made it easier to breathe.
Or maybe it was because whatever Zorathys had done had stopped just as suddenly as it started.
Or maybe the children were simply too overwhelmed to keep reacting the way they had been.
Whatever it was, one by one, they began to calm down.
