The Reeds

The next day was a blur. Strange things flashed and flickered through her mind and vision. She floated over Sidera, and she swam through the rivers of Nial. She sat in a coconut boat.

The storm raged and she was soaked.

A beast hunted her.

She didn't know how she ended up here amongst the reeds.

But she knew something was hunting her.

She knew it was the thing that hunted the 'weak' villages in Sidera. A man who would seek out weakness and exploit it and punish it. Who would destroy anyone who seemed weaker than him in any form.

A thing that knew only how to kill.

But it wasn't just a man.

Rache knew it was a dark shadow that took a different shape each time, but was always there, always with that bright, red-eyed glimmer of glowing, terrifying eyes. She could see them.

Even when she wasn't facing it, somehow she could still see those burning red eyes.
