Summary
Metia sits by her charges, alert when one twitches. Another groaning. She lingers beside the weakest of them, bound from shoulder to hip in bandages. The fine sable and velvet of his clothes torn, singed and splattered with red. His breathing laboured.
“Milady”, begs the dragoon that’d leapt aboard the ship she’d liberated from Twinside’s ruined harbour. “Is there not more you can do for him?”
The little girl that’d come with him tugs on his vambrace. “Terence!” she hisses, trying to quiet him. “The lady has done all she can. I helped. Remember?”
He looks down at her – crestfallen. The memory of their wild dash through the city still fresh. The collapsed buildings, the fires. The panicked crowds choking every path into and out of Twinside. The hordes of Akashic with their glowing blue-eyes, cracked skin and aether-driven madness. Corpses in the streets, blood splashed across the cobblestones.
A nightmare come to life.
