the wounds are open and bleeding out
The cry pierced right through Ronin, his head snapping up immediately to the sound. Breath catching in his throat, he broke into a run... then slowed. Stopped. A trap...? The monsters had proven wily thus far.
But what if it wasn’t? a voice whispered in the back of his mind.
And as the voice cried out again, and it became ever more clear just what was happening, Ronin surged forward again. Feet thundering on the icy stone, he skidded around a corner to where the voice had come from, already radiating starlight along with the luxere glow.
”What’s happened?” he asked quickly. ”Where is she?”
