*Sage*
It was a week after the incident with Evangeline that Fynn woke me up early.
"Come on, get up," he urged, a hint of genuine excitement in his voice.
I scrubbed the sleep out of my eyes and attempted to look him in the face. It was early, dark enough in the tent that I was having trouble seeing him at all. I sat up, dragging myself into the cold morning air. He at least had a new set of clothes delivered so that I had some more weather-appropriate outfits and even my own suit of armor. What he intended for me to do with it, I wasn't sure, but I was proud to have it.
"What's going on?" I asked.
"Today's the day," he said proudly.
My heart must have stopped beating in my chest. I felt like the whole world froze at that moment, and I wasn't sure how to get the world to start spinning again.
"The day for what?" I hissed, but I already knew the answer.
"You want to see battle, let's do it. You're coming with us today," Fynn announced.
