Everything aches. Tiso can hardly see straight, and his arm is hanging at an awkward angle, meaning he’s forced to drag his shield in the other. He’s managed to drag himself all the way to Deepnest, gods know how.
One of his legs gives under him, and he falls. When he looks up, he sees his sibling’s face. One of the many he left behind. They hold their hand out to him, and he tries to crawl closer. “Hey, you-“ he coughs. “Gotta help me,”
Their neck cracks, and Tiso goes slack with shock. Or maybe it’s the blood loss. Either way, he can only watch as they contort into something he can’t quite make out. Tall and horrible, glowing orange, and snarling.
Tiso feels himself be picked up, and he’s helpless to stop it. He’s losing energy fast. Then.. whatever picked him up drops him, and snarls again. Tiso can’t bring himself to move.
