I woke up feeling like I'd been trampled by a herd of beasts. Every muscle in my body ached, and my head throbbed as though the memories of what had happened last night were trying to hammer their way back in.
For a moment, I just lay there, staring at the ceiling, letting the weight of it all settle in. The betrayal, the fear, the strange encounter with Thalindra every twisted piece of it.
The heroes… I thought they were my allies. I thought they'd see me as something more than just a healer. But no. The minute things got difficult, they tossed me aside like I was nothing. My throat tightened at the memory.
Anger simmered beneath my skin, but I forced myself to push it down. There was no point in dwelling on it. They were cowards, and I had survived. That was what mattered.
"Life goes on," I muttered under my breath, swinging my legs over the edge of the bed.
