Summary
The sun won’t be out for hours. But this is just how it is sometimes. Kieran will awaken to a feeling in her chest, in her limbs and ribs. Something deep and dark and thrumming and she knows that it’s from the forest. Beckoning her out into the night and trees and brush. At first she didn’t pay heed to it. She didn’t want to know what this thing that was calling out for her was, suspicious of its existence and apprehensive to what might happen should she follow.
It’s different now. The first time she’d gone was driven out of a sense of desperation; they’d begun to seek death after those first hundred years, unaging, weary, afraid. She’d thought that this feeling in her lungs would lead her to the end. Hoped that it would find Ziraah after her and it would release them both from this hell.
It didn’t.

Summary
Seiji and his father wandered around town, the night deep and the moon high. His father couldn’t see the assortment of faded illusions, didn’t see the estuary of people’s inmost reveries stacked on top of each other like too many bulbs in a bouquet. But he could transverse them with ease, from dream to nightmare, memory to delusion. He kept his body and with it could regulate and even have influence on the thoughts of others.
He thought this was dangerous, to see people so laid bare. His father, though bearing no evil thought or deed, thought this needed to be done so that the woods would never have a hold.
He knows too many secrets.

Summary
Her mom was always proud of her. Ilayda was filled with praise from the day of her birth. The only thing she wasn’t allowed to do was go past the town gates.
The forest made her family crazy. Or like. A different crazy. Because a lot of people use that term for her and her mom. Which might be true. But it’s not forest crazy which has turned out as nothing but bad.
Not to say the ocean isn’t bad. But Ilayda has been in the ocean ALSO since the day of her birth.
Mom insisted. Doctor Duvall didn’t think it was a good idea, dunking a baby in the ocean. But he’s learned that he just kind of has to let Mom do what she wants.
She’s gonna do it anyway.
