Chapter 48: Guardian of Harmony

Garnet POV

THE NEXT NIGHT

How many shallow breaths did that make?

Garnet sat by Cyran’s bedside as he lay in the Desperate Cases room in the Healing Wing, with guards stationed around the room where he and Tulaska remained unmoving and in comas. Ever since everyone returned to the capital in triumph, Garnet had been impatient to get through all her duties to their visitors staying in the capitol. She just needed to see her brother.

Seventy-four breaths now. Seventy-four shallow breaths so far since she started counting.
