Elien;
From the corner of my eye, I see a figure walk in, and on seeing her, my heart flips. Queen Selthía.
Emotions rush through me like a storm, and I almost—almost rush to her.
She steps through the broken entrance with a calmness that almost feels impossible in the middle of this chaos. Her gaze sweeps across the space, and the moment she sees me, something in her eyes softens. I can see her battle the urge to rush to me. She smiles at me and mouths the words 'hold on." To me.
Then, she raises both hands, and immediately, magic spreads through the room.
I feel it move across my skin like a protective current. Despite the flame.
I see the magic wrap around Koda, Zephan, and King Wilhelm. The Sect's magic collides with it, but it doesn't reach them. It was a protective spell she cast.
Several of the sect members immediately turn toward Queen Selthía, and I feel my heart tighten. They mustn't hurt her!!!
