- Sansa Valerion's POV -
At first, there was only blood.
How foolish I was to think I had won against Adriana so easily.
It was laughable how she had used my own strategy against me, exploiting the moment I let my guard down, foolishly believing I had already claimed victory.
Her attack was precise .. devastatingly so. There was nothing I could have done to stop it.
My heart was destroyed, along with several other vital organs.
As a result, I lost a tremendous amount of blood, and my consciousness was cast into darkness.
To be honest, I truly believed it was the end. No human could survive such catastrophic damage.
But for some reason, as I slowly sank into that darkness, I could feel the threads tying me to life had not yet been severed.
The deeper I drifted into unconsciousness, the more the darkness felt like a sticky liquid crawling over my skin, clinging to me desperately.
