r to the (Azriel POV)
Azriel awoke as if from a deep sleep. Her throat was parched. She felt like she had ended a beautiful dream, but she could not remember all of it. She looked around her and realized she was lying on a hard floor in what she was certain was Ashdeer's chambers in Fortress Irismus.
She looked to her side and saw Ashdeer lying next to her, his face pale and bruises all over his skin. He looked exhausted. She felt her fingers flutter and she looked around her and realized that dawn had just broken at Fortress Irismus. She was too exhausted to move and lay back, watching the sun rise over the Kush mountains from the large bay windows.
She had almost dozed off again, when she felt a hand being placed on her forehead.
"She is no longer cold to the touch. In fact, I would say she is warm." she heard Tara exclaim.
