Orsa
I felt Kai’s warmth behind me. He stood right over me and I drew comfort from him, but my heart raced. Whatever this was, it wasn’t good. While Leela and I were walking, I caught the scent of a bear.
“Leela, I smell… a bear.”
The lack of surprise on her face had told me everything I needed to know – she was creating a diversion. I saw the expectation of what I would do next dawn on her face. As I turned to run, she pounced on my back, trying to keep me from going. But I flipped her onto her back with ease and began to run. I ran as fast as my legs could carry me, until I saw the open pillars of the Hall of Judgement, stark white against the lush greenery of the palace and the dark grey of the sky. When I had sprinted in, I stopped mid sentence when I saw Kraun standing there.
