Hi, y’all! Sorry for disappearing, I was distracted by actually writing. XD Crazy, I know!

Umm, I kinda forgot, can the characters actually kill each other, or is everyone immortal? Because Chantara definitely has some villainous schemes up her sleeves. Literally XD

Chantara

The coldness started in my chest, and crackled over me, slowly, slowly. I forced myself to keep breathing, even as a freezing shiver pulsed through my nerves. It was always like this. It was better this way. Each time it came a little easier, stayed a little longer. One day it would be all that was left of me.

I felt myself go numb. Automatic. Inhuman. My heart had melded into granite. I didn’t think, I didn’t feel. Not anymore.

Get behind Þorunn. Slit her throat, and get out of the way. Who would I blame? Who was nearby? Connel. Last I had seen, he wasn’t far from her. Karayan wasn’t an option, he could probably see in the dark like a cat. Meira was too useless to be suspicious. I’d heard her squabbling with the older man, both of them bickering like five-year-olds.

I glided along the walls, toward where I heard Þorunns breathing. I sensed, more than saw, her.

My breathing was so silent I couldn’t even hear it myself. My heart wasn’t beating any faster than usual, and my hands weren’t trembling. That would come later. Afterward. All of it would come afterward, like a thunderstorm from clear skies.

I was only a step behind her now, and I froze, my thoughts focused, every action painfully familiar.

I couldn’t move too much now. The knives on my back were out of the question. I couldn’t even move the fabric of my tunic to reach the knives on my thighs. I gently shook my right hand, loosening the delicate, flexible blade hidden in the lining. It slid down, between my fingers. It was too fragile for anything but this and razor-sharp.

I closed the gap between me and Þorunn in one single step. Without hesitating, my left hand reached around and grabbed her throat, silencing any scream she might have attempted. The tiny blade was between my fingers in an instant, hovering above her throat.

Well, that escalated quickly. Umm, oops? LOL

Umm, I think you may want to fix this XD
