The Order of the Silver Seraphs [2]

'Kill me.' 

'....It hurts. Help me.' 

'It came from the sky. All of me hurts.' 

The voices made their way into my mind like quiet whispers, their sound reminiscent of the hiss of a snake.

There was more than one, and they talked over each other. 

'It... burns.' 

I felt my skin crawl at the sound. 

Thankfully, it didn't affect me all too much.

After a few seconds, I was able to drown out the voices in my head. 

I looked up.

The air and ground were dry, while above, a gray sky loomed, punctuated by a distant glowing white orb. 

We stood near a wide rocky path, encircled by numerous guards. In the distance, the silhouette of a fortress emerged faintly into view.

It was probably the supply station. 

'It's been a while since I've been here.' 

The Mirror Dimension. 

"My head...!"
