Chapter 1157: Kill Me Now!
Cassarae still didn’t understand what was going on, but the moment she raised her sword to do as Sylas asked, trusting him implicitly, she felt the change in her gut.
Suddenly, she wasn’t standing on Planet Florineth, nor was she beside Sylas. She had forgotten everything but herself and her blade, the arc of its tip moving all on its own as though she was being guided by a law beyond herself.
And then, her mind was consumed by the thought that triggered all of this… the desire to control her fate with nothing more than her sword alone, to sever the skies that stood before her if need be.
