Verena gradually regained consciousness, blinking as her surroundings came into focus. As she sat up, she found herself amidst orange rocks, with the distant murmur of voices indicating an exit nearby. Confusion clouded her thoughts until she realized she was among the Fremen.
A twinge of shock flashed across her face as she attempted to rise, only to be thwarted by a sharp pain in her right leg. Gently probing the bandaged area, she recoiled in surprise. Who had tended to her wounds? Her bewilderment deepened.
Interrupting her thoughts, a voice broke the silence. "How did our princess sleep?" it quipped, dripping with sarcasm. Verena turned towards the source, locking eyes with a Fremen girl.
"Where am I?" she inquired softly, though the answer was already clear. "With us," came the curt reply, prompting an eye roll from Verena before a wince of pain cut through her facade. What had happened to her leg?
"My companion nicked you with her knife during the scuffle," the woman explained, almost as if she could read Verena's mind. "I hope you don't mind my impromptu first aid," she added in a softer tone this time.
Verena simply averted her gaze, attempting to process the whirlwind of events. After a moment, she glanced back to where the Fremen girl had stood, only to find her gone. A peculiar encounter, indeed.
Verena reclined, shutting her eyes as exhaustion weighed heavily upon her. The oppressive heat added to her discomfort, prompting her to sit up once more and shed her jacket, leaving her in a sleeveless shirt. Though a bit revealing, she had no other option. Placing the jacket beneath her, she lay back down, closing her eyes once more, slowly drifting to sleep.
