THE DOOR
Zuri turned her back on the howling, newly forged monster, walking slowly back down the aisle of terrified, cowering men.
Her mind drifted back to the massive, scarred woman sleeping in her bed hundreds of feet above. Mwajuma. The Earth-Breaker.
Zuri let out another quiet, mocking laugh.
Mwajuma was the greatest gift the Door could have ever given the Matriarch. The Vanguard was skilled, yes, but their magic was genuine, uncorrupted, and therefore easily exhausted. Maintaining the illusion of the "Sacrifice of Purity" required careful management. But Mwajuma? She possessed the raw, endless power of a tectonic plate, and the emotional intelligence of a wounded dog.
