Cassie swayed slightly, overwhelmed by the horrid scale of the battle.
It looked as if the world was ending.
The world was really ending, no matter which side won — so that a new, ghastly world could be born from its corpse.
'What is my endgame here?'
Suddenly, Cassie felt lost.
She had resolved herself to stand by Mordret till the bitter end, but she did not want him to win. His victory today would mean that humanity had been wiped out — all its Awakened warriors, at least, which meant the same in the world of the Nightmare Spell.
So, Cassie did not know what she was doing here.
'No…'
No, she did. She had made a choice to fight with Mordret for a reason… so, these frightened thoughts did not belong to her.
They were the Dreamspawn's poison seeping into her mind now that she had opened it once more. Gritting her teeth, Cassie focused on the battle.
