A tremor shook the ground as the castle walls fell before my eyes. I channeled all of my energy into my muscles and sprinted as fast as I could.

But not fast enough.

A sharp pain shot through me as a chunk of the castle crushed my leg with a terrible crunch. I cried out in agony, falling to the ground. Blood pooled around me, filling the air with a horrible iron smell.  The last thing I felt was a pair of strong arms carry me away.

Then the world faded to black.

Voices swam in and out of my head, calling for me to wake up.

But awake would be hard. I would have to face the pain.  

Then, I heard a new voice. 

Emery. He had always been there for me. And I was always there for him. And as I listened to his sobs, I realized that he needed me more than ever.

So I slowly, painstakingly, opened my eyes. 

All the voices slowly stopped as they realized that I was awake. Elwin rushed over and asked me how I was feeling. My head was pounding, my body was sore, and my leg... my leg was numb.

Everyone was looking at me with grim faces. I knew something was wrong.

That's when it hit me. That's when I realized why I couldn't feel my leg.

No.

It couldn't be.

No.

I jolted upright, ignoring the pain that tore through my back in the process. 

My leg was gone.

I sank back onto my pillow, fighting back the sobs that had caught in my throat.

Life would never be the same again
