"Arinya," I heard Fenric call out and I turned my head. What I saw was fire and smoke, erupting from the burning surroundings.
What is this? What's going on?
"Arinya," Fenric called again, and my eyes landed on him, bloody, head down, and in his hands was a bloody cloth. No, that wasn't a cloth... It was...
My breath hitched as I realized what was in his hand.
"I'm sorry. I failed you." Fenric said, his shoulders trembling and bloody tears rolling down his face. "And him. I... I couldn't save him."
I stepped back, my heart trembling at this sight. No, this can't be real.
But I couldn't utter any word, I just stood there, taking in the sight with pure terror in my heart.
"Arinya," Fenric called. "I think... I might fail you too."
"No!" I yelled, my body jolting up right away and my breathing ragged.
I looked at the faces staring at me as I just jumped out of sleep.
Fenric, Damar, and Noah stared at me, wondering what had happened, and I panted.
