Mia was awake before anyone else in the fortress, and for the first time since arriving at the fortress, she dressed plainly.
She wore a simple dress which could make the guards mistake her for one of the kitchen women, and she pulled her hair down to cover every part of her back.
There was no point in standing out.
Alex was sound asleep, his chest rising and falling before he turned and grumbled.
Mia breathed in, praying to the god of Flame. It was the god that had given her her blessing, and the god she chose to worship.
She left their room and stopped right at Damien's and Audrey's. She pressed her right ear to the door, hoping to listen to their breathing. But the door was too thick and she could barely hear a single word or rather in her case, breath.
She decided to assume they were fast asleep and continued her journey.
At first everywhere was free, but as she hoped to turn towards the route to the infirmary, she saw a guard.
