I could not believe this.
This is what was the prophecy was?
Not about Aurelia, but entirely me.
And such... oh God.
My knees were shaking as I gawked at the lingering text in the air, and I felt Ares support me by wrapping his arm around my waist.
Tears welled over my eyes.
So what was all that I suffered for? Why was I abused? Why was I mistreated? Why did I go through all that torture? For naught? Because the f-cking elders could not do their f-cking jobs and decipher a prophecy?
I ran my hand through my hair, frustratedly tugging on the strands as I collapsed in Ares' welcoming arms.
I was panting I think. My chest felt tight. My hands, knees, body everything was shaking and trembling. My bottom lip quivered and I tightly shut my eyes close.
My hand raised to tightly clutch my chest as the pounding of my heart rang in my ears.
Am I having a panic attack?
An interesting insight : the reason why Seraphina often refers to herself in third person is basically her imagining someone else telling her. Like when we vent out to friends or with mom, they usually reply like this. Since Seraphina ws alone, she started to talk to herself in 3rd person to fill that void.
