"You… you blinded me?"
Ember didn't bother faking a smile anymore since it wasn't like the now blind commander could see her.
"I didn't just blind you, commander. In a few hours you will lose your hearing, and then your sense of taste, smell and feel." Ember drawled, dusting her fingers without flair. "That is of course if you don't get the antidote before then."
Who would have thought that the special poison Commander Asborne gifted her would come into use so soon. A formulation of its kind, the poison hadn't been tasted on many vampires. But the knight had been confident enough on the efficacy of it, and Ember was nothing short of pleased to see it work so well.
She had honestly wanted to take the easy route… alas, Lord Vaegros just didn't want to make it easy for her.
