I woke in a cold sweat, my heart pumping so hard that it felt like it’d soar out of my chest. I stared wide eyed at the fireplace, crackling away as if I hadn’t just been hit with a memory that resurfaced some of the worst pain I’d ever experienced. My nerve endings were alive with acute agony at the feeling of the tree spearing me, its roots delving under my flesh…but none of that was as intensely painful as the moment I arrived at the Sacred Temple and realized what the high priestess was asking of us…when I realized I would never see Axel again.

Even now, tears ran down my cheeks in hot streams, my heart aching painfully for everything I’d lost.

Axel—I needed to see Axel. I needed to make sure I hadn’t imagined that he was within reach, that we were back within the same realm.

My gaze fell on a chair near the bed, empty and cold. Reminded of the way he’d stormed out on my yesterday—twice—I resisted the urge to go find him.

But maybe…maybe if I told him about the memory of the sacrifice, it would help. If I explained how I’d felt realizing I would never see him again, that my sacrifice was going to be the end of it all…

Or at least I’d thought so.
