On the edge of the Ebony Island, Yutra was straining to stand up, the sound of his ragged breath drowning in the mist.
"Ah, damn it..."
His hands were shaking uncontrollably, so he couldn't quite pick himself up off the ground.
Suddenly, he saw the hem of a crimson dress sway in front of him, the red fabric obscuring his vision. He shuddered for some reason, as if reminded of something frightening, and then a strong hand helped him to stand up.
He found himself face-to-face with an exquisitely beautiful woman, and spent a moment before recognizing her as one of the Blood Sisters who followed Saint Seishan.
The woman helped him regain his balance and said in a somber tone:
"Stay close, soldier."
He nodded, looking around in search of Rit and Tegrot. Luckily, the two of them were nearby, looking as shaken as he was.
There were countless Awakened warriors around him, actually, all crowded around the banner of Lady Seishan.
