Mirelah;
Before I can give into my body's flight response, I hurriedly place my other foot in front of me, and pain like nothing I've ever felt before reverberates through my body.
"She's actually doing it. "I hear a voice from the crowd whisper in awe, and just then, I feel tears begin to escape my eyes without my permission.
I can't stop now. I already started.
I try not to think about the feeling of the horridly hot, sharp coals under my feet.
I bite my lips, and my vision blurs as I take the next step.
My knees buckle, but I struggle to stand straight. Thinking about how disastrous it would be for me to fall on this coal, I push myself to take the next step.
However, another scream escapes me when a sharp piece of coal digs into my feet. I stagger, but I don't fall off.
"Father, stop this! "Kealith suddenly yells, and I swallow hard before taking the next step.
