Aurora's POV
*****
Her eyes opened wide, nostrils flaring when heat and dust hit her face like a wave. She squinted, breath shuddering as she realised where she was.
Red sand. Vast ashen skies.
The Dark Lands.
Her fists clenched, silver hair blowing over her face. "Seraphyne?!" She yelled out despite how parched her throat was.
The heavy wind was merciless, slicing through the desert and carrying mounds of sand along with it. Sand that pricked even her mid-Alpha-level skin.
Glancing down, she noticed she was wearing a sleeveless icy blue gown. The same thing she wore while sitting with Seraphyne a few moments ago... She thinks.
No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't remember if they had ever reached Solrune City at all.
"Sera!" Aurora yelled again, hugging herself and brushing her arms tenderly. "Is this a dream?! A fucking nightmare?! Please, tell me you're there!"
Nothing.
