Chapter 143: An Unexpected Meeting

I woke up with the first rays of sunlight. Lucius was asleep and Asher was reading one of his leather-bound notebooks. 

"Good morning, Asher." 

"Sleep well?" He asked. I shrugged. Nightmares and memories that didn't belong to me had kept me on edge the whole night. Asher, however, didn't need to know that. 

"I'll go train some," I said and left the campsite. I didn't go too far – my first stop was a nearby stream of water, where I washed hands and face. Then, I headed for the opening we'd gone to yesterday evening.

My mind was a mess, and I didn't know how to fix it. The only thing I did know was that we had to find a cure, a solution to whatever was going on with me. 

That's when I realised. I remembered yesterday's conversation! 

It struck me suddenly. It had been one of my biggest fears as I fell asleep – that I wouldn't remember anything once I woke up.
