Vaslavis Clan: The Past (20)

Fraley walked mindlessly in the midst of darkness. 

Her eyes had been damaged to an extent that she could barely use them. She made sure to put her hand on the wall of the cave as a guide. 

'I'm confident that Zarya can reach her destination all by herself. Though she's young, her parents taught her to navigate the forest.' Fraley thought, her feet unstopping, 'As for me, I have to retrieve Neverio's body as soon as I can. The other Orschettas will be returning soon. Their leader explicitly told me to avoid the others.'

After a few seconds, Fraley stepped on a spiked stone. Her knees went numb as the sole of her foot began to bleed. She immediately tore a strip of cloth from her cape before removing the stone. The woman tied it around her wound, tightening it to hamper the flow of blood.
