After all his efforts, Luke managed to find some free time and, five days later, set off with Callum and Cain to the military zone to see Zoey.
Even before entering the military zone, Luke could hear the clanging of swords.
The deep sound of metal clashing amid the falling snow:
"Ching!!!"
With every step, the sounds grew louder, the shouts of hundreds of soldiers reaching Luke's and the others' ears.
When Luke finally entered the military base, the sound of armour moving and soldiers saluting began one by one as some of the guards on duty saw him.
Finally, Luke reached the centre of the military base, the training ground.
Three thousand soldiers were clashing their swords. Each of them was repeating the same movements simultaneously, as if to deafen the ears.
Luke had spotted Zoey standing on the podium in the training area in a short while. The young woman was wearing her armour, her hair tied back, and both swords hanging from either side of her waist, standing proudly.
