âButâŚIâm a failure,â Coby whispered, his constant fears clouding his mind. âI failed at protecting my fellow Sons. I failed at getting the Flame to the temple as quickly as I should have, and Iâve put you in danger because of it.â
Ash ran his fingers through Cobyâs hair, letting his hand rest on the side of his neck. âYouâre not a failure, sweetheart,â he said softly. âNever think that. You were forced to leave them, that doesnât mean what happened is on you. Iâm no messenger of the gods, but I can say that you did what you had to in order to protect everyone else, and thatâs reason enough to let you into that temple. If not, then that means your gods are far more judgmental and cruel than you thought.â
