CHAPTER FIFTY SIX

Royal darkness 56

Please reread 55 just to be sure

Jamari groaned and shifted uncomfortably in the warm, soft bed she was lying on. Her eyes were still shut tight, but her body was fully awake, yet strangely weak. It felt like she had been sleeping for days.

Her memories were hazy, like fragments of a dream slipping away. She couldn't help but try hard to remember what could have happened, and why she found herself on this bed.

As her eyes slowly fluttered open, she was met with an unexpected sight. Her vision was blurry, not the total pitch darkness she was used to, and it wasn't utterly clear either. "What's going on?" she asked, a note of confusion in her voice, as she put her hands in front of her eyes and waved at them to be sure these blurry images were from her own eyes and not maybe corvus.
