Loud sounds.
I'm back in my body, though, everything is slower, and maybe ten seconds earlier.
I see Raine look at me before he raises his sword over Brayja. Instead of screaming this time, my eyes lock with Raine's, and I don't let him go. I grit my teeth as I hold his stare hostage, I see the fire in his eyes, the rage, anger, and possibly...pain.
I hold up my hands like I'm trying to calm a wild animal.
Shhhhhh...don't do this...
The sword stops over Brayja's chest, a frown on Raine's face as he stares at me, chest rising and falling. He finally closes his eyes and tells the man next to him to take Brayja away.
I expel a breath in relief.
But the scene before me is still b****y and horrific, confusion clouding my thoughts. Why would Raine murder the king and queen of the Gaya Emp
