A Demon’s Kiss
When I stoop down to shake him awake, he doesn't respond.
The magic has taken hold of him...
"Kastriv, wake up," I beg, feeling his tense limbs as he is splayed out across the floor. He shows no sign of waking up.
Atari bends down, brushing me off. "Get back. You cannot help him."
"He's touched a spirit," I tell her. She doesn't seem surprised, which means she's witnessed this before. However, the colour has drained from her face...she can't possibly concern for him, can she?
