Life's Journey Through Her Eyes; Post Solomon's Temple or "Where's Kadar?"

Amalia ran to the infirmary, Zara hot on her heels. She had received word that Malik was back, and Altair. She asked about Kadar, but they merely shrugged. The two had found Altair pacing, cussing himself.

"Altair! Altair, what happened! Where's Malik and Kadar!" Zara demanded. Altair looked at them, eyes glossy.

"Amin... I'm so sorry..." He said gently. She tensed.

"Where is Kadar?" She asked, feeling her tears swell in her eyes.

"I'm so, so sorry..." He whispered. Amalia felt something roll down her cheeks.

"Where's M-Malik?" She asked, remembering her love's words.

"I want you to take care of brother... I want you to love him... I already know you love him like you love me... I love you..."

"They're-" Altair cussed quietly, "They're taking his arm off..." It grew quiet as the three waited. The two girls listened to Altair as he told them what happened. Amalia kept crying quietly, her shoulders shaking as her tears rolled down her face.

Kadar was dead.

Her future husband was dead.
