A cold blade pierced Cassie's heart.
Cassie did not even register the pain, since her mind was already drowning in agony. Instead, she only felt disbelief — disbelief that she was dying, and that Rain had killed her.
It did not make sense.
Cassie simply could not believe that her life was over. At the same time, it made no sense that Rain would be the one to stab her to death — the young woman was incapable of taking a life, after all.
Not to mention that she had no reason to.
'Right.'
Cassie concentrated, her battered mind focusing into a sharp point.
The feeling of cold steel piercing her heart was a message from the future. It was a prophecy of what she would experience in less than a second, given to her by her Awakened Ability.
Which meant that she had not been delivered the fatal wound yet.
'Right, Rain has become a thrall of Asterion.'
