Matias winced as Cal dabbed a wet cloth on his face.
"Sorry," she said.
"You're fine."
They didn't stop riding until night had fallen. Matias wanted to put as much distance between them and the Queen of Darkness.
They sat in silence. Cal trying her best to clean Matias's wound. Matias plotted how he would get back at Melania. How he would make Melania pay for trapping Cal in iron and pulling those screams from her.
"I'm going to stitch you up, now," she said. "We don't have anything to numb the pain, so it's going to hurt like hell."
He clenched his hands into fists, his knuckles turning white. "Go for it."
Matias dug his nails into his palms as Cal stitched him up. Blood pooled into his palms and dripped on the forest floor.
His father had told him to take them to Krigere and find the Everlight. So that's what he'd do.
He would find the Everlight, and then he would help Cal rain hell down on James and Melania Andhera.
