Kaida POV *Beep* *Beep* *Beep* I’m lost in the woods, running for dear life. The fog is so dense I can barely see two steps in front of me, but if I stop running it’s all over. My feet are torn and bleeding, begging for me to stop and just give up, but I refuse. I will not let it end here, I will fight until my dying breath. In the distance I hear the howl of a wolf, closely followed by another joining in the hunt. Somehow, I need to find a way to outrun two wolves barefoot. The goddess has a cruel sense of humor. Why even breathe life into my pathetic existence? I reach the edge of a river and stop. The current is crashing violently. If I jump in there’s no doubt it will sweep me under and drag me off to a cold watery tomb. Death by mauling or drowning, neither option sounds appea
