When the warden flew off, Krala's vision suddenly darkened.
She thought maybe she was slipping into the dark place, the place where people all went when they died, but no, that was not it. She could still see the lightstone crystals and their shine above.
They were just dimmer because the warden's own light had been just that bright.
Krala breathed again. Her body always seized up whenever the warden came near her.
At first, when she first went into the tower with the shiny men and the shining warden, it had not been like that, but after…after the hurt, thousands and thousands of times hurting whenever he came near, whenever he spoke, she, her body just ended up like this when he was here.
Worthless. Useless.
Those two words had been engraved into her body and mind over and over and over again, and even though the pain, she got used to with some time, those words, she never did.
