Arrianna

Isledis slammed her door shut and leaning against it slumped to the floor as her vision dimmed in a red haze. "...you will not forget about me." The apples spilled across the floor as her strength drained from her. “No...”

Iseldis slowly returned to consciousness as night fell. Tepes nudging her side encouraged her to get up. She sat up carefully and leaned against the grendel holding onto him for strength.

“I’m fine. Really.”

Tepes growled in disbelief and Iseldis slowly pulled herself to her feet. She slowly made her way upstairs to her room and fell into bed. Tepes followed, limping as always, and nudged her limp hand hanging over the side of the bed. Iseldis reached out to her friend, her hand shaking with the effort.

“Thank you for watching over me,” Iseldis whispered. “I am afraid I will need you to do so again. Will you stay?”

Tepes grunted in assent and settled himself down on the floor nearby as Iseldis slipped back into unconsciousness.
