I never imagined I would ever see Damon like this, bruised, beaten, and shackled. Once, he had been by my side on countless hunts. Once, he had been a brother. But looking at him now, I realize how far he’d fallen… or how far I had let him fall without noticing.
Lyra stands just behind me. I feel her presence before I turn to look, her magic hums, contained but restless, as if responding to the tension in the room. She gives me a soft nod. It strengthens me more than any armor could.
