Soraia weeps and reaches the edge of the cliff. Blood drips from beneath her bare feet, and subtle traces of it are everywhere. In the fierce yearning of her heart she lets herself be mutilated by its footprints, for in the pain of the soul what are external wounds? Slowly she moves a little closer to the edge, there at the edge of her doom, and when half

She threw herself after him, her bare feet tearing against the twigs and mud as she sprinted through the undergrowth. Behind them, the lead binding machine let out a deafening blast. The sound tore through the forest like a blow and the massive iron blade slammed into the earth. It scraped away the trees, the moss, the mud and the crickets. It converted the forest into a silent sheet of gray paper. The speed of the flattening was terrifying. The gray space was expanding fast, eating the world behind her. "Where are we going?"

Not people. Presences. One moved like my brother’s breath the night he chose silence instead of grief. Another felt like the question I had asked the stars when I didn’t yet believe they were listening. And another— Another pulsed with the same rhythm as the day I let go of a story I once mistook for my entire self. We do not know what the Edge truly is. Only that when we bring parts of ourselves there— the parts still clenched in explanation— they soften. They don’t disappear.

“What on earth could be wrong, Sébastien? The last few days, I lost my job, found out I was pregnant, switched houses and countries, and now I just… I’ve spent this week seeing no one, talking to no one, pacing back and forth in this gilded cage… I’ve been alone all week, and it’s just… It’s been a little… I…” This time she couldn’t stop them. The gates of her despair opened and tears fell, hot and thick, down her face. Her throat worked convulsively. Through her blurred vision, Sébastien appeared large, and then Cassandra felt herself being enfolded in his arms and held so tenderly and carefully against his chest that it made her cry even harder.

By the time he came back to his senses, Whitney was already dead, her body lying twisted and mangled in front of him. Despite that, Tobias felt nothing. He walked into the forest, to the place where Matthew had buried me. He dropped to his knees in front of my grave, pulled out a dagger coated in silver nitrate, and drove it into his chest over and over again. "Cordelia… I'm sorry. Let this be my penance!" He let the silver spread through his body, and only then did he truly understand the pain of being poisoned. This was what I had endured for two whole years, yet he and Nicholas had ignored it the entire time.

That grief doesn’t end us it shapes us. Thank you for carrying us until we could walk. Now go walk where no one’s watching. Live freely. And if you miss us, light a lantern. We’ll always answer. 2014 Elira 7. The Walk Beyond the Grove So I did what she asked. I walked. Past the edge of Duskfall. Past the Hollow Grove. Past where the Spiral saplings bloomed. No title. No task. No tether. Just me. And the wind at my back. Still becoming.

The wild edge of my strength is more than I want, more than I can take, more than I can handle, more than I can hold. My human thoughts slip like everything else, like the soft edge of my world, like the soft edge of my thoughts, the soft edge of my life. I try to be Mara. The wolf’s strength is more than I can hold. The air is sharp and alive. My senses are an assault. They are everything. Everything.

"Why do want to kill us both?" Why are suffering and hurting us like this? Her wolf whispered. She picked up the plastic bags and hugged it to herself as fresh tears run down her cheeks.

A slow thumping echoes beneath the floorboards, steady, like a heartbeat. A cold draft brushes past, carrying whispers I can’t understand. Then I hear it. Crying. Soft at first, then breaking, raw and desperate. I follow the sound to a door cracked open at the end of the hall. A thin blade of light spills out. I push it wider.
