Priscilla’s POV
My hands flew up to Sekhmet’s brutal grip. Oriana wasn’t tall enough to hold me off the ground.
A fraction of her strength would kill me, end the incessant chanting bubbling and coughing from my lips. I gasped for breath, my feet limp against the ground. I didn’t have enough oxygen to fight, but I couldn’t stop chanting. Whatever grabbed hold of me wouldn’t let me.
“Silence, witch!” Sekhmet screamed.
A fleck of blue shot through the blacks of her eyes. A flicker of Oriana pushing through. The goddess threw me backwards, an audible crunch of my leg folding under me. I couldn’t feel it. Couldn’t feel the remnants of my leg.
I should be in anguish, screaming for dear life. But instead, I stood up, my leg folding and wobbling under my form, bent at an odd angle. My throat was bruised by her handprint, but I spat out verses I hadn’t even heard before.
It came to my realization I wasn’t me anymore.
