Blood. So much blood. I see Taozin standing over the fading bodies of our parents. He is licking the bloodied sword. He stops and stares at me, hate spreading over his features. He grips his sword and plunges it into my chest. He misses my heart…on purpose. Taozin takes our sister, Saira, into his arms. Within a second, he leaves, carrying the one being that I hold most dear. I don't have much time to think before I pass into unconsciousness.
