My A to Z Challenge theme is: characters from my trilogy, From the Ashes.

Xana Devyn
I struggle to breathe, but no air reaches my lungs. Warmth fills my chest, and I choke on the blood. Yes, it's blood, I am drowning in my own blood. My lungs convulse, I know I'm in pain, but I don't feel it. It's like I'm watching it happen to someone else.
I know my eyes are open, but I can't see.
I feel like I'm being torn in into a million pieces, but it is beautiful in the strangest of ways. Warm light flickers onto my eyelids, and I wake in my bed on Virana. Everything is glowing a little bit, like it isn't quite real.
I see Liam for the first time. He annoys the shaav out of me, but I smile at the sight of him.
Something happens, and that fades away to meeting Jaina. Then it switches again. I'm in the kitchen making cookies with my friend. The smells, the feel, everything is so real and beautiful.
By the stars, my life is beautiful.
