Until Then
"Lay…land…"
Like a camera zooming in on a certain spot, my vision is focused solely on Brianna. I ignore the Paladins and the Knights who come along with her as I pin her with my gaze. Disbelief, shock, fear, terror, and dread; it is crystal clear she doesn't wish to be anywhere near me.
"You are…that man in Brontes," she mutters in realization.
"It has been some time, Brianna." I intended to say it as neutral as possible but it came out spiteful, which is not a problem. "Are you going to save your Hero? Look at you—how loyal."
"I am saving you—from the hole you have entered! Killing is not the way, Layland. You have to wake up!"
