The Seventh Life Of The Soulbound Villainess
Something that moved through my chest like a warning in a language I had once spoken and no longer remembered but still, at some level below conscious thought, understood.
This ends badly.
Not premonition. Not prophecy. Just the specific quality of a truth that has been true before, that has been true so many times it has worn grooves into the soul, that the body remembers even when the mind does not.
On the third day, I made my decision.
I will not go to him, I thought. I will not engineer proximity. I will not follow the threads. Whatever Soul Sight is demanding of me, I will refuse it, and I will spend the rest of my life being grateful that I was sensible enough to refuse.
