Chapter 60: 38 – Limits Reached, Limits Breached

“A-maa-raa! Come out, come out, wherever you are!” Ezme cheerfully yelled.

Hell no. 

Amara shook as she held her knees, hiding behind the entrance to one of the empty rooms.

“A-maa-raa! Come out and play!” 

No way.

Ezme’s training programme had been ruthless. Amara hadn’t been allowed a moment’s rest for days. Keeping track of time had been hard enough without a sun to give an idea of the passage of time. And being forced to stay focused for days on end, made Amara's perception of time grow even more hazy.

Because the instant Amara tried to relax, another monster would show up out of nowhere and attack her.

“A-maa-raa! I have a new friend I want to introduce to you! Aren’t you being really unsociable right now?” Ezme cheerfully reproached.

Amara shuddered and hugged her legs tighter. She was reaching her limit. 

Although her body could retain its strength, her muscles were sore and complaining. But worse than that, was her mental fatigue.

Amara felt that she had begun losing focus of where she was and what she was doing, even while she was in the middle of fighting for her life. As if she had forgotten who she was, yet remembering perfectly well the path that had led her to the situation.

“A-maa-raa! If you don’t come out, I’ll simply find you and make you come out!” Ezme shouted and laughed.

No. I need a break!

Amara racked her brain. I need to hide.

Amara drew a deep breath and focused on forming a mental image.

I need to bend all the light around me, not just the light I can see. Mute all sounds I make. Keep any of my scent from spreading. Stop my body heat from radiating. Dampen the movement of anything I come into contact to stop the vibrations from being transmitted. 

“There you are! Come on buddy, go in and say hello!” Ezme’s cheerful exclaim came from the room outside.

Invisibility!

[Ding!]
