The room was empty.
In a way, Renaea had been expecting this. Nihka hadn't shown up in a few days, now. It wasn't like the normally safe woman to just disappear for a few days. Brushing her fingers over one of the many books littering the room, she felt... Worried. Alone.
She could still see the man's dying look. The man whom she'd protected with her body, shielding him from harm. The man who had started the fight by attempting to shoot the Lynx Tribe. Spear after spear had hit her, but she'd pressed on. And yet he'd died anyways.
"Did I do the right thing? I failed, Nihka... I couldn't save him. I stopped the bullet that might have killed the warband leader. I..." She shakes her head.
"How many have I just doomed to die?"
