With him standing so close to me, my heartbeat was gaining speed. It was pounding in my ears, and now I was sure he could hear it too.
What did he want from me?
Why was he here when there were so many warriors on the ground? His golden eyes had something, and I couldn't name it.
Curiosity? Suspicion?
