Summary: Around and around his mind the events went, and from his eyes silent tears ran.
Left Behind
The dining hall was silent except for the occasional snuffle of a fellow candidate deep in sleep. All of the surviving unImpressed candidates were camping out in the hall that night, and after drinking some fellis laced drinks most of the survivors were sleeping soundly.
Except for Elief.
His dose of fellis had worn off a little time ago and now his broken arm ached with a dull throbbing pain, keeping him far from the threshold of sleep. Mind you now that the dulling effects were gone he could actually process what had been happening the last day and night.
The candidate barracks had been invaded by a bunch of Renegades. Some candidates, had died. Thankfully none of them had been one of Elief's personal friends, but he still felt their deaths keenly.
During the Invasion, a Renegade had broken his arm, and battered him up a bit. It was his own fault really for drawing attention to himself. What a damn fool thing to do.
The Hatching had happened. Lyrra had Impressed, as had Fen and others. He didn't know to what, since he had been in the Infirmary and then closeted away with the other unImpressed. He hoped that they were okay and that Fen had gotten that slash taken care of.
Around and around his mind the events went, and from his eyes silent tears ran.
The candlemarks ticked by, but the candidate who had been left behind did not sleep.
