Capricious grabbed a fistful of my hair and yanked my head up.
Pain burned across my scalp, but it barely registered.
My gaze had already fallen downward.
Toward them.
Toward everyone.
"This is our gift to you, Eunji." Capricious' voice dripped with amusement. "Now you won't be lonely. Everyone remembered how pathetically they died."
The words carved straight through my chest.
Before I could react, something slammed into my stomach.
His fist.
Air left my lungs in a violent burst as my body folded around the strike.
Blood rushed up my throat and spilled from my mouth as he launched me upward.
I wasn't fit to fight.
Not like this.
Not when my mind was splitting apart.
Mid-air, another shadow moved.
Euphilios.
His massive form appeared above me, both hands clasped together.
Then he brought them down.
The impact crushed the air out of my body as he hammered me straight into the ground.
Stone exploded.
