I can't feel my fingers.
I can't feel my fingers.
I can't feel my fingers.
I
CAN'T
FEEL
MY
FINGERS.
I can't feel my fingers.
I can't feel my fingers.
I
CAN'T
FEEL
MY
FINGERS.
Dragging myself through the streets, I race towards my public house. Valiya will be there, she'll know what to do, she always knows what to do. That woman helps me, through thick and thin she's always there. I swear, when I burn this damn city to the ground, she'll definitively be one of the people I spare. Hell, she might even stand next to me, I know she dislikes this wretched place just as much as I do.
Was it always this hard to run?
My heart is pounding in my chest, why am I sweating so much? This has never happened before. I know I forgot the renew the damn concealment spell, but surely that would not be causing this? Thank Khali Vivienne had run away before she saw me, what would I do if she saw my marks? I couldn't stand to let her know what i really am, it would be unacceptable. Hopefully she was held up a bit, I can't let her see me, she can't be at the pub. I simply cannot allow that.
Was it always this hard to breathe?
The cobblestone is so cold, damn, what's with that? Sodden Down was warmer than this for goodness sake. I just need to stop and sit down, catch my breath and rest. No one will be on the streets here in the Upper District, they're all locking their doors and hiding inside their homes, filthy cowards. They'll never know the horror of war, they'll never know the sacrifices people like Valiya made for them. I know those sacrifices, even though I'm lucky to have sacrificed for my own people and not these degenerates.
Was it always this hard to see?
Khali, why are the buildings so big? Why do they reach up and touch the stars? Do the stars realize how close we are? I could almost reach out and- what, what am I even thinking? I need to get up, I need to get home. Why can't I get up? Why can't I go home? I miss my home, I miss my mom, I miss sisters, I miss Valiya, I miss Vivienne. Why is it so cold? Why am I so alone? I'm sorry, I did not mean any of it, just come back, don't leave me alone, please. I'm so scared, please, someone come and comfort me. Why is there no one there? Does anyone even care?
Was I always so alone?
Who are you? Don't touch me, my marks will keep you back, you- No, no I know you, no no no NO NO NO!
"It's been a while, Alek."
No no no no no no no no no no DON'T TOUCH ME!
"Welcome back."
PLEASE NO!
"Goodnight, sweet prince."
