Born of Ash and Night
“Together.”
The spell reaches its peak.
And so do I.
My heart stutters once.
Twice.
Then gives up.
I fall to my knees, the world tilting, fading, my magic finally burning through what’s left of me.

—but of Cain’s smile.
And how loved I was.

the gods descend.
The Moon Goddess looks over the devastation, her silver light reflecting off nothing but ruin.
