Prologue
She felt everything and nothing at once.
Worse than any physical agony she had endured, this emotional outpour coated and pierced her heart, radiating out down her spine and out to the tips of her fingers. The same fingers and palms that were coated in red, cooper stinging her nose, as she grasped at his shirt and anything that what was remotely him.
She didn't budge as weak, human hands tried to pull her away. Couldn't hear anything but a buzz in her skull and the screams that were coming from her own mouth and those around her. Pure burning in her throat but she couldn't stop, her open emotions that were integral to her being spilling forth in waves.
A minute or an hour later, in the place in-between, the haze of fury lifted only to see the carnage around her. The blood of others staining this planet, innards and corpses littered all around.
She finally stood, turning to see the paling face of the person trying to pry her from her rage. Pushing him away, to the ground, she made a silent promise.
X'hal, hear this. They would pay. Not only in the name of retribution but with blood.
She would kill him.
She would kill them all.
