Dain

A surge of heat runs through my body, threatening to consume every inch.

“Ground! Now!”

I don’t question the command, digging my toes into my mental haven. The chaos settles, redirecting to my hands, and it feels as if my fingers are lengthening, spreading out, searching. The world goes dark, and visions play across my mind, short vignettes from Mira’s perspective, all revolving around Violet. Violet. Gods, there she is. Absolutely radiant. I could drink in her visage—that smile, that hair—all day. She’s the drop of sunshine in an otherwise cloudy existence.

The visions shift like reflections on water, blending and jumping into each other, only giving me glimpses in a strange, disjointed way. Though I don’t recognize any one particular scene, it all feels familiar, like I’m revisiting a world from a long forgotten dream, and somehow I’m now privy to information I have no business knowing. Vi hooking up with an infantry soldier for instance. Ew. I did not need to know that.

In a blink, I’m back to myself. It feels like I’ve been away for hours, lost in Vi’s stories and smiles, but based on Mira’s expression, it’s likely been a few seconds at most.

Whoa. What was that?

“Cath?”

“That was your signet. You’ve manifested.”
