Shade cursed and sat on the railing, closing her eyes and lowering her head. “I wanted to be free of that nightmare...I wanted to show myself that I wasn’t going to let what happened there be a part of my story...I guess I should have been more careful...” 

She looked terrible. She was still hot to the touch and her body was half broken. It was sheer will that was keeping her from being bed ridden. But it was coming fast if she didn’t stop pushing herself so hard. She looked up at him again and said “the rumors I’ve heard are that this place is like a trip back in time...all on a floating island. Never in the same place. And that it’s a whole world unto itself. No outside forces rule here...what ever that means...” shade suddenly coughed, holding her mouth and chest at the same time.
