(Revolves around Selene after Snow Veil Sanctum, mostly a flashback.)
"Come on, Birdy. Get up." My face stings a little, "I'm not going to haul you back to headquarters." When I look at who's speaking, my heart skips.
"You're okay."
"Of course I'm alright. You're the one who almost died." She starts to help me up, "You need to be more careful."
For a moment I think I see snow, but it is quickly replaced by my actual surroundings, a damp, slightly smoking room. I figure I must have hit my head. She slings my arm around her shoulder and starts talking again, "You used that stupid explosion spell." Standing up, "I thought you weren't supposed to do that. Didn't your teacher say—"
"Too safe. I was low on Magicka, if I hadn't been, I'd be fine." My head is still spinning so my words aren't coming out like I'd like, and we stumble together.
She just shakes her head, "I'm glad you're okay. Now, let's get out of here."
After walking for awhile I speak again, "I had a dream about snow."
"What?" She laughs. "You've seen it once."
"Yeah but… I was meeting someone, and it was so cold and snowy. I found him but he betrayed me. Killed me. Actually."
"Well, good thing it was just a dream." I was shifted a little, "I have a hard time believing you wouldn't see though something like that. Maybe you're losing your touch."
I laugh. "Don't think so."
I rest my eyes for moment and when I open them again, the sunlight is almost blinding. The sand under my belly is warm, and the sun is leaving my skin hot.
Where is Fox?
Yelling interrupts the crashing waves and I look up to see her over Felix's shoulder, yelling at him, "Put me down, you oaf!" But he keeps running towards the water, laughing probably, like normal.
Grey. Little flakes moving in front of my vision and cold. Familiar cold.
I try to call for Fox, or one of my brothers, or sisters but nothing comes out of my mouth.
So, I look around instead, the rest of my body doesn't seem to be working well anyway.
When I see a figure in front of a small bonfire everything comes back in a rush.
They're gone.
Mercer is a traitor.
Mercer.
I stand up a quickly as possible bringing fire to my hands, but I don't get off my knees before falling down again, my fire turning on me and sputtering out.
"You shouldn't get up so fast."
Mercer is a traitor, but I am still alive.
