The dagger found its mark between her shoulders.
At first she didn't even notice the dagger in her back. She was too focused on watching the life drain from the dragon king. It was only when she felt the pain radiating from her spine.
It hurt to breathe. At least she could breathe? That meant nothing was punctured...
"Zae..." she croaked, staggering forward. "My... back... knife..."
It was all she could say as the color drained from her tawny face. The adrenaline was wearing off from her previous injuries. Her hand shook, her knees buckled and she collapsed to the ground, revealing the dagger that had been plunged between her shoulders.
"T-take it... out... stop th... the bleeding... Bandages in... my bag... back home..."
