Another Crisis

[ Seraphina's POV ]

I didn't know what happened, but I was glad that the pain stopped.

'Foolish mortal!'

Why was there a strange female voice in my head?

Anybody there? Hello!?

I was probably imagining it. The pain made me hallucinate.

But why was I stuck in this dark place? Where was everyone? Where was I? Where was my body? 

The darkness was so thick that I couldn't see a thing.

It took me a long time to remember I was in the dragon realm. I finally found Graike but then I said things I couldn't control and the more I lashed out the less I felt like myself until I sensed a crisis and the only thing I could think about was to remove the mask, but the wretched thing wouldn't come off and then… what happened after that?

Oh, no… I needed to get back. What about Kiera and Zethu? Without my protection, who knows what will happen to them? What if Graike decides to discard them or worse - keep them?
