Chapter 15: The General's Promise

I dreamed of falling from a cliff. I thought I was going to die but then I got transported to a meadow where I am staring right into the river. I know this river. This is the river where the Takipsilim Bridge is located. This where Marcial took me during one of my saddest nights.

I know that what is staring right at me is my own reflection but then I could not recognize her as me. This is because she had fiercer eyes. It’s as if all the warmth evaded from her eyes. I know that this person couldn’t be me.

But then the forces made me bend my knees. I touched the reflection. Upon touching the reflection, I lost my balance and was consumed by the water. I didn’t know how to swim well, so I am merely flapping my arms. No one could hear me. Water was coming into my nose and into my mouth. I couldn’t breathe anymore.

Just as I was about to pass out, two hands grabbed my arms to get me out of the water.
