Forbidden Knowledge

Never did the pain of of being torn apart to death come.

Afena had been looking at Krenen, and the awareness that he was the last thing she wanted to see before dying was slowly replaced by disbelief, and a reticence to accept what she already knew to be true.

Without looking back, perfectly conscious of what was happening, but refusing to acknowledge it, Afena acted as quickly as possible to save Silsos' life.

"Lunos! Lay him on the ground."

"What?" Lunos was shocked by the sight in front of him.

"LAY HIM ON THE GROUND," she shouted.

Silsos had passed out from either the shock, or the pain. That, or he was already dead. It didn't matter. Afena would do all she could regardless, both to spare his family, and to ignore the truth of what was happening. To stop herself from thinking about it.

"I need a shirt. Please, Lunos."
