Her words came out in a rush, which drew a few odd looks from some of the others.<br/><br/><div class="floatright">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/c/c4/Tumblr_op6a9gZqut1qmgrs2o1_1280.jpg)</div>“Let’s give the girl some air,” Crow suggested, guiding the others towards the far end of the room, “And see what else we can find in the meantime." He gestured towards the bodies nearby. "I don't think our predecessors will mind much if we borrow the things they no longer need. Perhaps they will let us get further than they did."<br/><br/>For those who remained nearby, Qadira looked around at them and then her shoulders slumped. "I suppose it doesn't matter now," she said softly. “A couple of years back, I got caught in a storm. I’d been travelling to meet family, the caravan was swept up, but we seemed to come through it safely. It left me with this though.” She brushed the hair back from her eye to show the strange colouring, a warm amber, unlike any colour you'd quite have seen before.<br/><br/>“Since then .. sometimes I see things. I’m not sure what it is. Power maybe? The Dragons, they glow sometimes. I’m not sure what it is or why they do it. Sometimes ..” her voice dropped to almost inaudibility .. “sometimes I think I see the dead.” She looked at the corridor the group would be moving through. “And sometimes I see …” her hand rose to gesture at the wall .. “it’s like .. streams of golden light.” She glanced around before continuing. "It's like .. it's almost always there, at the corner of my eye, but when I look .. sometimes I can see things, sometimes I can't. I don't want to though."<br/><br/>“Afterwards, after I see things, bad stuff happens. Accidents. People get hurt. Not me. Never me. But people around me. So I try not to see things. You understand? I don’t want people getting hurt because I’m .. whatever I am now.”<br/>
