Jenny drifted in darkness for a while, mind pleasantly empty, before the silence was pierced by a booming voice. Roy’s voice.
“HOW IN THE NAME OF THE GODS DID YOU DO THAT?”
Her eyes snapped open and the present sensations returned. Grief from what she had done, anger from what had been done to her. Most of all, she felt terror at what had been done to someone else.
Edgar was next to her, unmoving. Jenny couldn’t tell if he was dead or alive. She crawled over as quickly as she could manage, wincing at the sharp pain blossoming in her ankle. She gently shook Edgar’s shoulder in an attempt to wake him up, trying not to panic upon seeing the deep gashes in his back and the lightning burns covering him.
She then moved to crouch in between him and Roy; she didn’t trust herself to stand without collapsing. Holding Sword in front of her with a shaking arm, Jenny spoke to Roy in a growl.
“Touch him and you die.”
