Jett barely even remembers the details of what happened anymore. He knows that he shoved Brock out of the way of a Danger, and that it had bitten his leg, but… well, he’s pretty sure it was still there when he’d passed out. The leg, he means.

His knee is a stump now. He lost his leg. At 14 years old. Some kind of “initiation”… What kind of a woman sends out 5 14-year-olds into an Danger-infested forest after ripping away all of their hopes and dreams that same day, anyways?? Frond has it coming for her. If not from his friends, from the king.

Anyways, Zed and Brock had already come to visit, but his physical therapist had shooed them away. Now, he’s guessing it’s your turn, because he can hear your familiar footsteps coming down the hall. He’s known those footsteps since you were both 4, anyways.
