When Revana opened her eyes, her gaze settled on Esme, who was busy wrapping her wound with a bandage.
There was instant relief in Esme's eyes the moment she saw Revana had woken. She quickly reached up, gently pressing her back down before she could sit up.
"Don't move," Esme instructed softly, her gaze softening. "You need proper rest. Your wounds are healing, but you're not completely out of danger yet. Just stay still– I'll get you what you need."
Revana exhaled sharply, closing her eyes for a brief moment before muttering a curse. She had only gone to retrieve Esme's book— the last thing she expected was to come face-to-face with the true bearer. She hadn't even realized who he was when she saw him standing there, holding the book she had come all the way up here to retrieve.
A single kick.
