The only light is the faint blue glow of frost, crawling now up the legs of the tables, licking at the boots of the living. Shadows pool, shift, rise—faces in the dark, mouths yawning wide, eyes inside out. Rowan’s hand finds Thalia’s, and in the darkness, the only warmth is the grip of living flesh.

Stuffs like that didn't surprise me anymore, but How can I get through it, I thought and look at the necklace in my hand, a pendant of a snowflake and a shiny silver ring was on it, it was beautiful and from the texture it looks like pure silver, but the snowflake was white, couldn't guess what it was made off but it was very pretty. I was still staring at the pendant and t

Shadows pool in corners I've never noticed, and the building's silence presses on my ears after a night full of noise and music.
