Chapter 734: What Must Be Done

"When exactly will the healer placement test be held?" she asked.
Lysander straightened in his seat. "Three days from now," he replied. "We need as many hands ready as possible before the war reaches us. The trainees have been studying. Now they need to prove what they've learned."
Orion nodded from the head of the table, his expression unreadable. But before he could speak, Sophia shifted beside him.
She leaned forward, her elbows resting on the oak table, her blue eyes sweeping across the council members gathered before her.
"Before we go any further," Sophia said, her voice steady, "there's something I need to say."
"Orion and I were speaking before we came here," Sophia continued. "And we both agree on one thing."
She paused, letting the words settle.
"We've been too relaxed."
