Brunschiere Forest – Dawn Following the Sanctuary

The heavens broke open in shades of molten gold and slate, giving light to stream through Brunschiere's tall oaks like a heavenly vow. Krishna emerged from the incense-stained sanctuary barefoot, her cloak flapping behind her like smoke. The last sigil — the one incised across her spine — still glowed dimly, the smell of charred incense and old magic lingering on her skin.

Ignatius trailed behind, crunching quietly through the frosted leaves in boots. He did not speak. He hadn't had to. His eyes had seen her go up in flames once. He would not break her silence now.

They stood at the border of the grove, where the forest yawned open like a mouth into the wider world.

Krishna finally spoke. "It's quiet here."

"It won't last," Ignatius whispered. "It never does."

She leaned her head marginally in his direction. "Then we utilize it while it works."

He nodded once, gravely.

And so the quiet days began — odd, gentle days that Krishna never

    He brought his hands down to the elastic waistband of her panties. Pulling her down, he kept on lowering himself until he was kneeling at her feet. Her undies and dress by this time were a messy heap at her feet. She kicked them to the side as he started kissing her vagina. Her soft pink vagina where pressed hard against the lips of her love as his tongue started to lick back and forth across her opening.Rapidly she reached for air and she pulled him down. She put her hands on his head and pulled him in as his hands went around her curvy hips and grasped her buttock cheeks.She moaned in contentment as his tongue probed and found her clit. She was exploding under his tongue whips as the first of her many orgasms swept over her.She took his hair and involuntarily pulled it as she ejaculated into him. "Yes.lick me my love, lick my cunt!" she screamed as her orgasm poured into him.He pinched her ass and pushed her hard against his waiting lips as he allowed her to release all over him

    "Why do you keep rejecting me?" she whispered. "Even now, when you're shattering?""I made my decision.""You made the wrong one."Her hands glided up to his shoulders, fingers brushing old scars, new bruises. Her voice grew softer, threading ancient syllables into the air — a song, a spell hidden within the cadence of her breath.Miyal’s head dropped slightly. His breath hitched.“What are you—”“Shhh,” she whispered. “You’re tired. Let me help you. Just for a moment.”Her fingers pressed gently against his temples.And then — heat. A creeping tide of warmth spreading out in his brain, like liquid silk. The biting corners of his sorrow numbed. The names of the dead… dissipated. Krishna's voice… diminished to a whisper.Miyal blinked.Something was amiss."Perfera… what happened?" he whispered, voice afar."Nothing," she whispered. "Just getting you… to feel again."He stepped back a pace, but she stayed after.The magic was not violent. It was hypnotic, entwining his mind like a vine

    Miyal tore off his shattered gauntlets and threw them to the floor. His chest panted and dropped like a wild beast after long chains. Time was not for grief. Not yet.He walked to the war room in silence.And there — waiting.Perfera.She sat on the long obsidian table, legs crossed, one hand curled around a goblet of crimson wine, the other resting just above her chest. Her gown was midnight silk, slit high and revealing, with threads of silver that danced in the firelight. Her long black hair spilled over her shoulder like ink.He stopped at the threshold.“You’re wounded,” she said softly, setting the goblet down. “Again.”“I’m alive.”"Until when?" she repeated, climbing down from the table and moving toward him in slow motion. She didn't seem to make any noise in her bare feet, but the air in the hallway was suddenly filled with a presence that was like smoke.Miyal did not respond. He moved over to the strategy board, tracing the lines of their land collapsing beneath his finger

    MeanwhileCrescent Citadel – War-Torn Capital of the Crescent Moon PackThe sky above the Crescent Citadel was a sickly orange.Smoke curled around shattered towers. The cries of the dying rose through the decaying streets, drowned between the howls of beasts and the ring of desperate steel.Miyal stood at the center of it all — his sword slippery with blood, his face smudged with soot and sadness. His formerly shiny armor was shattered, his left arm bleeding through bandages, and his eyes, the eyes of an Alpha, glazed from sleepless nights.At his back, the west barricade fell."Fall back!" he bellowed. "Establish a second line at the stone bridge! Keep them from breaching the inner sanctum!"His soldiers hastened behind him, terror in their hearts but loyalty aflame.Another wave stepped forward from the darkness — deformed bodies, no longer man nor beast. Towering, sightless monstrosities, covered with black tar, their bones jutting at distorted angles. The accursed — once family,

    Ignatius smiled softly. "Not merely peace. You are owed truth, Krishna. And if the gods won't provide it, then we'll chip it out of fire for ourselves."She allowed the silence between them to grow once more, but this time it was no longer suffocating. It was something different.Tender. Fragile. Hopeful.And then she asked, "What comes next after all this? After the rite? After the war?"He cocked an eyebrow. "You mean if we're lucky enough to live?""Yes."Ignatius rested back in his saddle, contemplative. "Then I will seek out a quiet garden, where the starlilies grow and the moonwater comes. And I'll construct a house with tall spires and a balcony suited to storm-watching. And I'll wait. For you."She smiled weakly. "You'll just wait?"He shrugged. "Or I'll carry you there myself, if you're too obstinate to rest."Krishna laughed, wiping away a tear. "You never gave up on me.""I never will."They arrived at the top of a broad hill. Spread out beneath them, indistinct in the dist

    Ignatius remained behind her, arms folded, cloak sweeping across the earth. He didn't say anything. He knew better than to break the battle inside her.Eventually, she barely breathed, "Do you recall the vow that we took in front of the Pillar of Flame?"He walked beside her. "I remember every single word."Her voice was whispery. "I pledged to guard our people. Even if that meant losing myself."You haven't lost yourself," Ignatius told her. "You've only just started to remember who you are."She smiled wryly. "Who I was died on the day Miyal chose her. Perfera. My husband didn't betray me, he eliminated me. In his mind, I became the bad guy. The threat. And she—" Her jaw snapped shut. "She used innocence like perfume, poisoning everything."Ignatius kept silence. The hurt in her voice had no need of echo."I can still see them," Krishna said, "in the garden. Her hands on his face. His lips on her skin. The way she looked back at me—triumphant. And he didn't flinch. Didn't explain. J
