The Hollow Moon Awakens
The Lady's white house is somewhere in this beautiful city, and my dark-haired sister is somewhere behind me on the northern roads.
The wedding is nineteen days away, and the dark moon is coming with it.
Most frightening of all, something ancient is awake beneath the dome at the center of the palace.
Something that knows my name. I should not be able to sleep, but I sleep like the dead.
*********
I dream of the white hall. The moonlight spreads across the ground. I've seen pieces of this place in my dreams since my eighteenth birthday, but tonight is different.
Tonight, the hall is complete, and I am standing in the middle of it.
