Camia felt herself dying near a small house near Pelagaid. It was night.
She had just recently fought off a vampire.
"How can you be so stupid, Camia?" Said Neb. With his dark eyes and his chest protesting against her dying heart. Her lover cried then, "No, no. Don't leave. You can fight it. Live on, sera."
And she did. Somehow, magically, she resisted the vampire within. And then, one day, Camia received a letter. It told her that despite the majesty's intentions, Neb had received a fatal blow from the Usurper. He had died quickly, it said. Camia was struck by lightning. "You told me to live, why couldn't you do the same?" She spoke to the Neb, as if he was right there beside her and still alive.
Days later, another letter came, bidding her to begin a new mission. When she opened it, it was with a gasp, but then a slight bit of happiness came over her. She took the letter and ran her fingers over it. It was a mission to assassinate the Usurper. Camia laughed and felt the irony. Someone in the Imperial Legions had learned her desire for revenge.
She clenched her hands into a white fist. She would have her revenge.
