I was scared shitless as I laid down on on a stretcher and a healer healed me. _______________________________________ "Start the sail", A Grisha yelled to another who was standing on the top of the ship. The Grisha connected her hands and summoned the wind which resulted in the ship starting to sail.
I was standing on the deck of the ship. When it entered the Fold, a thunder kind of sound erupted from within it causing shivers down my spines.
"If I die here, no one's going to know", I thought.
Inside the Fold, it was almost like nothing at all, like darkness consumed you. I couldn't see anything other than darkness. It was gut-wrenching to think of how many people died inside it.
An attempt was made to destroy it about 20 years ago when the Darkling, a descendent of the Black Heretic who created the Fold, along with Sankta Alina, a Sun Summoner went inside in order to destroy it.
That never happened and Sankta Alina, along with her childhood lover Malyen Oretsev who was a First Army soldier, like me.
I was so consumed by my thoughts that I didn't hear the commotion and the screams of people when the Volcra attacked our ship. I ducked in order to get to a corner.
The Inferni were using their fire to get the Volcra away from the ship but it wasn't working. There were just too many of them. I was flabbergasted. I didn't know what to do.
Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain on my shoulder, only then realizing a Volcra had gripped my shoulders. At that moment, a loud scream erupted through me, as well as a feeling I didn't know.
It felt like something wanted to burst out of me. And I was so light headed that I let it. Goosebumps erupted throughout my body and a grip like sensation shot out of me.
It felt like a bond forming between me and all the Volcra because just as I screamed and that feeling shot out of me, all of the Volcra became still. Not a single one moving.
I looked around to see everyone staring at me, their faces pale. And then and there I fainted. _______________________________________
I wish my stupid self hadn't fainted back there because everyone standing near me were gawking at me as if I was an exquisite animal in a zoo and I didn't know the reason.
"Will you hurry up? The General wants to see her soon", a woman dressed in a blue kefta ushered to the healer healing me.
She quickened her pace and soon I was standing on my feet waiting to meet General Kirigan, the General of the Second Army.
The tent was different than most of the ones I had seen. It was black from the outside and the inside wasnt much calming.
Maybe it was because of so many people staring at me that I started feeling quite uneasy.
Krovopiytsas were people with the ability to make people do what they wanted. They were considered a threat to humankind hence they were killed many centuries ago.
My nerves were getting the best of me by now and I was rocking back and forth until I heard a deep voice that sent goosebumps down my spine.
"Where are they?" a voice asked.
"She's there General", a female voice replied.
General.
Oh shit. _______________________________________
