Chapter 75

Asha couldn't tear her eyes away from the lifeless body sprawled before her. Though she'd been known about the countless deaths at Gildendusk, seeing someone die up close sent tremors through her legs. A wave of nausea, guilt, and horror swept over her, making her stomach churn violently. Across from her stood Selara, calm and composed, regarding the corpse as though it were an insignificant insect. The sight made Asha's vision blur.

Before she could process the scene, darkness engulfed her, and she collapsed. Rhovar reacted quickly, catching her before she hit the ground and carrying her away. The deadly silence left in their wake was almost suffocating.
