Jur slowly woke up in a new place. It was stone but flickering firelight was enhanced by the glow of emerald light.
She perked her ears up but the only sounds she heard was a man's voice speaking in a language she did not know again. She knew the voice though.
It was the scary beast!
He looked like a man, but she saw it! The giant sinuous body and emerald scales gleaming behind those cold eyes! It had only been a flash but it was there!
She had been going to be with Mama when the sky fell. She recalled her body shivering before the roar of something passed not far overhead. Then the world was turned into a storm of death.
She had huddled and been tossed about until darkness closed in. She knew she wasn't dead though. The voices kept talking.
For as long as she was alive, they never stopped talking in her mind.
[Thief!]
[Vile human thieves! You are all scum!]
[The Ancestors will shatter your souls! You will never be reborn!]
