-HER-
A scream is all I hear before I am thrown back with so much force that I hit the courtroom wall, knocking him with me. I squeeze my eyes shut and hold myself from screaming as I feel a tingling on my neck before it’s replaced by excruciating pain.
His mark is gone.
I am free… or that’s what I thought.
I let out a small groan as I try to get up. The pain in my abdomen from the wound and the burns are still there. I have exhausted all the energy that my body possessed. Vesta is silent inside me. It feels like something has gone missing from inside me.
I am surrounded by black smoke and fire so it’s hard to see around. I slowly get up and lean against the wall as I see fire lick every inch of the courtroom. I don’t know what happened to Ishtar. I don’t know what happened to him.
