Shadows of the Vow
“I woke up... inside of her. And yet, every part of me felt like it had betrayed something ancient. My body wanted her, but the dream made me feel cursed. Like I wasn’t even allowed to feel warm skin again.”
“What was the vow?” Bukky asked.
I repeated it, line for line, voice flat, eyes dark, I had mastered it:
"By the blood that flows from the womb of betrayal,
By the ashes of the women we buried unseen,
I vow to the Order of the Crimson Shadow,
To keep my heart from the touch of a woman.
To drink no affection, nor taste the wine of desire.
To build no home, plant no seed,
For love is weakness, and weakness, death.
