Chapter 17: The threat of insanity

"Vexsus..... Your back, I didn't want to leave you again but when you got angry it was like we were under a mountain of pressure.

"How many did survive Sondar." I said with a coldness that I didn't mean to let slip. He flinched a little but quickly regained his sense. Me and him walked away from everybody to a more private corner of the cave so we could talk privately.
