ARIA
Aria lurched upright, the echo of gunshots ringing in her ears.
Disoriented, she blinked at her surroundings, taking in the
canvas walls, the two bed pallets, and the stack of battered

Pain pulsed steadily in her right arm. She looked down at

dependable.
Aria jammed her feet into her boots—nothing like an
audience to motivate—and straightened.
