Her name's Monica Johnson," Bruce mentioned, "Wow" Jack said, murmuring her name to himself. Bruce's face appeared unease and chose to take his leave. I offered a smile and allowed him to depart.

Shadow-Blend. It wasn't a spell, nor was it a flashy elemental illusion that an analyst like Thaddeus could track with a spell-blade. It was an ancient, inherent trait of the Silver Royalty, the ability to dissolve one's physical aura and kinetic presence directly into the surrounding darkness, folding the body between the natural light-gaps of the world.

“The girl who was afraid of the dark died in the West. This version of me… she is just trying to make sure there is a tomorrow.” ​I watched her, and a cold fear settled in my chest. She was drifting further away from me with every passing hour. The violet light in her eyes was becoming more constant, a sign of the celestial power that was slowly overwriting her humanity.

The air was freezing, the stone walls weeping with frost. I grabbed her arm, gently turning her to face me.

You were born for this. The stone under me shakes. There's this rumble, like something huge waking up way down below. No. Not below. Inside me. I arch my back without even trying.
