You wake up screaming, reaching and punching at anything and anyone. You stand up from the silk bed and grab the first person you see. You hold her dark hair in a death grip, your other hand balled into a fist. She screams and you hesitate. It is all it takes for a Qartian guard to stand up from a chair and grab you by the hands, pushing you against the bedding.
You open your mouth in a silent snarl, seriously considering the idea of biting the guard’s face off, but by now enough time has passed. You regain some clarity and look around.
Your head is hurting like hell and one of your eyes is swollen shut. The Qartian woman holding you has wide eyes, but looks like she doesn’t want a fight.
“Please, stop fighting!” You relent and she releases your hands. You notice how she didn’t go for her sword.
You recognize the other woman. It is Mira, the thronelander girl. One of Sheish’s “camp followers”, for lack of a better name. Her eyes are wide and she is trembling like a spooked rabbit. She has blood-stained clothes in her hands and the smell of medicine coming from them hangs heavily in the air. You feel a bit guilty.
You also hear a screaming match outside and realize you are in the Sheish’s wagon.
>A - Demand the guard explain what is going on. What happened?
>B - Apologize to Mira. You didn’t mean to scare her. You just had a nightmare...
