To Put A Leash On The Master
The iron burns, but not as much as the one that later comes on my neck when I stand over the bodies.
Staggering, I clutch the area, my strength depreciating, my vision blurring.
Xaveeda is standing beside me, and she’s smiling. She has done something, something terrible. “What did you―”
“Shhh. Rest now, my boy. You can’t fight the Fiery Lotus’ potency.”
I give out a sharp breath as I topple on the bodies, while Xaveeda lords over me. “You see, the Umbra Mistress requested that I force you back to the Realm. Desert Generals aren’t tolerated, so go answer for your crime.”
