Elián;
It's either I've developed a severe hearing problem, I'm losing my mind… or I accidentally hit my head somewhere and now I'm hearing things.
One of those, or the possibility that I may have offended some deity in my past life and now this is my punishment.
I don't think it's any of the others, so I'm just going to believe that I'm hearing things.
"I'm sorry, I didn't catch that," I say to King as I drop my fork and sit upright so I can hear him properly.
I stare at his lips as they part, ready to hear something else and then he speaks.
"I said you're travelling with Rhydian to Howleroot for an indefinite amount of time." He says, and I feel everything in my body go numb. Starting from my fingers.
My eyes instantly dart to Rhydian who's now eating silently, and then I look up at Koda.
Koda spares me only a second's glance before looking away, and as he takes his gaze away from me, reality smacks me across the face like an African mother.
