Pain. That was all I felt in that moment. Well, I suppose it was that, and a sense of relief that I had survived, at least for now. Jade and I helped each other get away from the fight after the boy whose name I learned to be Cyro fell to the ground, lifeless. When we were in a place we deemed safe enough again, we met up with Dominic and Zenia, which was a relief to me. I was glad to see that they had made it out alive, too.
Despite the raging thunderstorm that plagued the arena today, I sat down on the ground, not caring how much more wet I got at this point. The rain washed away some of my blood as I tended to my wounds. I looked to Jade. She was in worse shape than me, which I didn't think was even possible.
"You hangin' in there, Jade?" I asked her. I then looked to Zenia and Dom as well. I spoke to all three of my allies at once this time. "Thank you. All of you. You all are the reason I still have my life, and that means more than I could ever say."
I then went back to cleaning and tending to my wounds. I wasn't sure what else to do at this point. I knew that Dom would be struggling right now, having killed someone. That's how I was after I killed Kestrel, anyway. I looked at him with pain in my eyes.
"I understand how you feel, Dom," I told him. "I'm here for you if you need anything, okay, my love?" I said to him. I hoped he was hanging in there okay. I knew I wanted to give up after I killed Kestrel. I felt terrible. It made me wonder how he was doing, deep down inside.
I just wanted to be there for him like I knew he was for me. He'd help me if I needed anything at all, and I wanted him to know I'd do the same for him. I loved him, after all.
Then, I looked to Zenia.
"Zenia?" I said. "I'm sorry about yesterday. You didn't deserve to have me be an ass toward you."
I don't know what prompted me to apologize, but it just felt right. I hoped she forgave me. I mean, she hadn't killed me yet, after all.
