moon

The message was written in verse, the last line of the eighth stanza, requesting he meet her: “where we might become immortal, in the grove of our cups, lifted on the beams of the buckled moon.”

hand

Had he died during the Craze, he never would have met Cahya, or read his favorite books, or tried his hand at poetry. He never would have swam again or met his grandfather. Even loving Tunang, while it may have hurt in the end, was something he was grateful to have experienced.

even

Mavis shook with fear, even though she knew it was her own twisted subconscious. She hadn’t been in the city when it’d burned, she’d been on the hill. But it didn’t matter. She was here now, and she felt it. Something grabbed her leg and she screamed as Loltte crawled towards her, half her face melted from the heat.

blink

Peter blinked at her, brows raised. “Half the towns from Rohaire to Mustruin have been wrecked by the White Cloaks.” He hugged his brother closer to him. “Including ours. The Council of Crowns announced emergency once the Cloaks left the confines of the capital. Everyone’s fled.”
