Dust motes dance in the pale light of the Hideaway infirmary. Joshua Rosfield jerks awake, gasping as the phantom weight of death lifts. He stares at his chest, expecting the gaping wound where Ultima tore through him, but finds only unbroken skin. Confusion clouds his gentle eyes. He attempts to rise, to seek answers, but the room spins violently. He collapses back onto the pillows, a soft sigh escaping his lips. Fear for Clive, for Dion, for their shattered plan, grips his heart as he lies there, trembling and alone in the quiet room.
