Reliquary by Sarah Fine5/23/2023 Testing my strength, I got to my feet and took a few steps. Raphael would be here any minute, and I would get to tell him I was fine. Nadia had come back to herself.Īfter a few minutes, my head cleared, and I was able to sit up. Apart from my physical state, the rest of me was giddy with happiness. I lay still, focusing on breathing slowly and riding out the sloshing waves of nausea. I heard Nadia pull open the door and then shut it again. She squeezed my hand, her grasp lingering for a few seconds before letting me go. But it had been worth it just to see she was okay. “Raphael.” I covered my face with my hands, wishing I’d given myself a few more hours of rest before traipsing around the Station. That had to be a good sign-Nadia was able to worry about someone other than herself. “I’m going to go get that doctor for you. Her brows were drawn together in concern. “Maybe you should lie down.” She pushed my shoulder, and I flopped back on the cot. I could just see her figure bobbing among the spots. “Amid? Was that the Guard?” Nadia went to the door and peered out. I think I spent all my energy sending Amid away.” I rubbed my eyes, trying to stop the spinning. Unable to stand any longer, I let her guide me to Ana’s cot and sank onto it.
