Darkness.
All Tempest could see was darkness. She blinked her eyes a few times as she slowly woke up from her restful sleep.
At first she thought she was still outside in the canyon with Gerax, Aliq, and Rynax, but then she tried to move. Tried and failed.
Panic ripped through her body as she slowly started to remember what had happened the last time she was awake.
She remembered them all walking. She remembered Rynax still being pissed with her and stay far behind them. She remembered Aliq and Gerax's mindless conversations. And she also remembered the ambush.
People had seemed to come out of nowhere, descending down from the sides of the mountains and coming from around the corner.
None of them had realized what was happening until it was too late. Tempest assumed that was the whole point of an ambush.
Tempest blinked a few times but the darkness persisted. This time she realized there was a cloth over her eyes. She was blindfolded.
