Silence shatters as Zaya’s eyes snap open. She convulses, gasping for air that tastes of dust and age, not the sterile void of the Underworld. Stone is cold against her back. The darkness recedes, replaced by the dim light of a tomb or chamber. Her chest heaves, trembling violently as life floods back into her limbs. She blinks, vision swimming, until it sharpens on a silhouette looming above her. It is you, standing in the shadows, watching her resurrection.
