SAGE

I woke up with a throbbing pain in my neck; the ache was so intense it made me wince as I slowly opened my eyes. The first thing I saw was an unfamiliar ceiling. My mind felt sluggish, clouded with confusion as I tried to piece together wh happened before I blacked out. it hit me, all at t once-a tidal wave of memory crashing over me. My stubborn refusal to leave without seeing Titus. And then Scott knocked me out. I was about to get up when I heard voices right around the comer of the room. Familiar ones.

Whispers floated from the corner of the room, hushed but loud enough that I could make out every word.

"Are you out of your mind? Why did you do that to her? His Majesty will kill you for hurting her!" It was Elara, her voice sharp and furious.

"What choice did I have?" Scott's voice replied, equally frustrated. "I had my orders, and time is running out. Would you rather I waited until we had no time left, huh?" Elara wasn't backing down.

The room suddenly felt smaller, the tension thickening like a physical presence. Elara's irritation spiked as she snapped, "What else could it be?"

"I don't know," Scart drawled. "Maybe because you found out I was engaged?"

Silence. A thick, suffocating silence.

I lay still, not daring to move, as the atmosphere in the room shifted. Elara didn't respond right away, and when she finally did, her voice was brittle and thin, as though she were grasping for control. The hell do 1 care what you do with your life."

But the words rang hollow. Even I could hear it, and I wasn't the one she was speaking to.

Scott, however, wasn't letting it go. His voice darkened, bitterness curling around his words. "Yeah, you're right. You have no right to be mad. You're the one who ran away first, remember? You chose her over me."

Elara's silence spoke volumes, and though I couldn't see her face, I imagined the conflict etched across it.
