And it was quiet.
Too quiet.
Absolute silence.
He was drowning in it.
He couldn't breathe.
Caeles, why couldn't he breathe?
Everything was frozen in place.
Waiting.
And waiting.
And waiting.
Then it happened.
Ear-splitting booms.
Thundering roars.
Clanking metal.
Shouting.
An ambush.
Annihilation.
Just as had happened before.
He began to slip as his horse reared.
Just as Amina had warned. Had predicted.
Xien, why didn't he listen to her?
There was a dull thunk as an arrow found its mark.
She was right. Had always been right.
Then, why did he doubt her?
The horse toppled.
They were all going to die.
