Covered In Blood

When the dragons were finally slaughtered, Elysia felt her strength drain from her body, causing her to collapse onto the floor. Her chest rose and fell heavily as she gasped for air. Brushing her hair away from her face, she forced herself to her feet, gripping the railings for support as she looked out over the battlefield. Her gaze fell on the corpses of the dragons, which were now slowly transforming back into their human forms.

A faint smile of relief crossed her lips, but it vanished as quickly as it appeared when she noticed a group of men sprinting toward the entrance of the tower. Panic surged through her, and she turned, hurrying down the stairs as fast as her trembling legs would allow. She stumbled multiple times, narrowly avoiding falling, until she finally reached the door.
