I would come back to him. Julian rose to his feet, swaying. He stumbled to the corner and wrapped both hands around the heavy steel pipe. He closed his eyes. All he could see was me carrying him through the rain. He clenched his jaw, raised the pipe high above his head, and swung it down with every ounce of strength left in his body -- straight into his own left kneecap. *CRACK.* The sickening, brittle snap of shattering bone echoed through the tiny basement. Blinding pain ripped through his entire body. His kneecap was smashed to pieces. His lower leg twisted at a grotesque, unnatural angle.

“Hands. Squeeze.” Bones didn’t break. They… negotiated. Loudly. Something in my back popped and kept popping, a series of little detonations. My legs cramped so hard I saw old gods. Teeth pushed at my gums and then pulled back like a tide that didn’t want to commit. I made a sound that embarrassed me and didn’t stop it. I cried like a person whose body had suddenly learned a language and was using it to shout.

My side hurt with every step, and the night air worked through my dress, but I checked the hedges, the fountain, the servants’ path, and the storage rooms behind the kitchens. Near dawn, I heard a faint cry from the ruined greenhouse beyond the lemon trees. Bianca was trapped beneath a fallen shelf, soaked and shivering. A pale ribbon was tangled around one paw. It was the same ribbon Celeste had worn earlier. I freed the cat and carried her back against my chest. Celeste rushed out as soon as she saw us. “Bianca!” She took the trembling cat from me, then turned to Luca with fresh tears in her eyes. “She’s freezing. Luca, please, we have to take her to the family vet. Cats can die from shock

Just the pounding of feet against soil and the rise of a storm behind us. The wind howled. The trees trembled. The earth itself screamed beneath us. And then—just as we broke through the edge of the forest— A shriek split the sky. We looked up. And saw the Bone Altar engulfed in red light. Someone was already there. Waiting for us. And they were not alone.

Oh how much it had grown. Fall with me. I did. Over the edge of the balcony. Into the waters below. They frothed with Cronus' foam. I washed his bones until I was raw.

He used my limbs to rise. The bone man followed my lead, exploring the world through my eyes.

After five minutes of patting around, I picked up a stick and lit the tip up with a Fire Nova. I slowly continued ahead, straining my ears to make sure I was not ambushed by anything unsavory. I glanced down and saw what appeared to be thousands of bones. Some broken, some intact and some that didn't belong to a person. Are these from all of the demon’s victims?
