They're coming. I can hear them through the walls. The seal will hold. I move my hand over the objects blurred. I have no choice. They pushed me this far. I tried to warn them and now all the heavens are burning. They did not listen to me. I had every precaution. But now... the dye is burning. I let out a breath. It's almost time for me to burn. 

The spell has to work. I grip my burning chest. It's bleeding like a waterfall. My strength is fading. I might not have enough time to fully enhance the spell. But what choice to I have? I hear the screams of them. I hear the screams burning in my ears. I spit out blood.

"Iarasha emoriath." I chant.

I hear them banging down on the doors. The seal on the door is breaking. Pain flashes inside my body. The objects fly up. Blood spills from my mouth. A little more... a little more... a little more... 

"Ishiria. Emarothon." I chant.

I wake up in a startle. Sweat pours down my face. I blink several times. I look around to make sure where I am. I grip the sheets. 

"Wei Ying, are you okay?" Lan Zhan walks over.

"Yeah... fine, just a nightmare." I shakily stand up.

Lan Zhan grabs my hand and sits me down again.

"What?" I ask him.

"Tell me about it." He says.

"I... I think I know more of Shin Nu." I say.

I hear the door knock. Saved. I let out a breath as Lan Zhan opens the door.

"You two ladies up?" Mai Yin asks.

"Yes!" I call and stand up.

I push past Lan Zhan.

"Let's go." Mai Yin smiles.
