The moon hung low and red like an omen in the sky as Corvina stood at the edge of a broken rooftop, her cloak billowing violently in the storm winds. Blood shimmered in the air like mist, curling upward from the runes she had carved with her claws into the concrete beneath her feet. Her silver eyes burned, lips parting in mid-chant as her fingers twitched pulling invisible strings of fate and chaos around her.

I will crush every whisper that says I don't deserve you. I will drown gods in their own prophecy ink. And when it’s done, when it’s finally quiet you’ll still be there, won’t you? With that maddeningly gentle smile and those damn kind eyes. Say you’ll be there. Say it, or I swear I’ll”
