His only light Druig

15

-Cora-

I felt my body slowly warm up. I felt like my body has been numb for years. My limbs regaining feeling, like waking up from a nap but paralyzed. First thing I felt, my finger tips. I felt the static through, but not much movement. My mind felt at rest, the pain no longer there. The throbbing that once pained me was no longer there.

The images where.

Ajak...

I don't remember the vivid image I once had, now looks like a blur. I saw Ajak get pushed from a deviant or something and her falling. That image couldn't leave my mind.

Then gilgamesh being held in the air. Those memories burned into my mind.

Then the deviants, one by one. Murdered by each of us. Watching my family show no remorse for their lives as I felt them die. Over and over again.

I felt okay, with those memories also came closure. I know Ajak died feeling betrayed, gilgamesh died worrying for Thena, each deviant died fighting for their survival. I know what I need to do now. I know what side I'm on now.

I felt warm as if the sun beamed down on me, cool as if the air was blowing on my body. My body still limp.

My body felt like it was thrown. The impact winded me. That's when my heart picked up and my eyes shot open.

I gasped for air as if my lungs where drowning, the sun beamed down straining my eyes as if I've been in a cave for years never seeing the sun.

I faced down on sand. My arms slowly gaining feeling but couldn't lift myself off the floor. I heard footsteps come to me.

"Cora?! What are you doing down here?" I heard a voice call. Sounded like seri, then another voice from behind me.

"Sersi? What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be at the Domo?" Another voice sounded. Ikaris.

I tried moving my arms to lift me up. Slowly felt them drag along the sand.

"I came looking for you. What's Cora doing on the floor is she awake?" Sersi came to my side. I felt her hand push my hair.

"She's still asleep. I just thought she might want to see the view. She loved it before. Sersi you should really go back." Ikaris spoke.

"She's awake!" Sersi lifted me and my head struggled keeping my body up.

"What?" Ikaris spoke.

"I'll tell everyone! I'll be back. Make sure she's okay!" Sersi tan off after helping me lean against the large rock.

It happened all so fast and my body ached. I shield my eyes from the sun, trying to look at ikaris who kneeled down next to me.

"Are you ok cora?" I slowly nodded my head. My throat felt dry.

"Where am I?" The scratchy tone escaped my dry lips. I rubbed my eyes and yawned.

"I brought you here, hoping you would wake up. You know from being trapped inside all day." He said and kneeled in front of me.

"Oh thanks? Where is druig" I looked around to see no one in sight. I would have thought he would be the first one I'd see.

"They are talking about the plan. So uh, do you remember anything?" Ikaris asked me.

"Uhh kind of? It's a little blurry right now." I softly spoke. I cough once to correct my throat.

"What do you remember?" He asked quickly. I turn to look at him weirded out.

Oh yeah I'm fine!

"Well I remember gilgamesh and the deviant.. then I remember connecting to him. Feeling them all, it didn't hurt like last time. It felt different." As soon as I said that last word ikaris spoke quickly.
