He gave her a hard stare. He didn't like it. She knew he didn't like it. "We'll follow your orders," he said in relent. At least they agreed that this should be dealt with now instead of later.
In exactly twenty minutes, they were packed up and heading out. Jonathen and Kalique were at the front with the soldiers in a column behind them.
The wind whipped through empty village streets, kicking up freshly laid snow. A minute into their walk, Kalique froze and whispered a word he had never heard before. Her stare was empty when she looked back at him, eyes almost completely black. Jonathen took a step back, hand moving to his rifle before she collapsed with a gasp.
"Medic!" he yelled, his hand giving several quick commands, his soldiers fanning out and taking cover. They scanned their entire area. The medic came running up, sliding as he knelt down next to the Captain. He started pulling items out of his bag. "What's going on, mam? Can you hear me?" he asked, starting to try and figure out what she was suffering from.
"What's that you just said?" he asked. He listened as she spoke the answer a second later. "What about what you said earlier, Mrias.. or something like that," he asked. He scanned the snow-covered streets; everything looked as it should for the moment.
"What are you most afraid of?" the voice whispered in her mind before fading.
"Are you okay to continue?" he asked, ready to call for evac out of here if she wasn't.
