    Summary

    You knew you shouldn't have tried to take a shortcut back to the village that night. You were always told it was better to freeze than stray near Castle Dimitrescu. But, like a star doomed to fall into a black hole, you find yourself gravitating perilously close as you seek shelter from a sudden storm. Perhaps it would be better if the wolves found you first, rather than she who waits in the dark.

    Summary

    What of the gnawing in thine holy gut, the rage clawing up thine throat? A great weight, inclined to tip the scales once more. Which way shalt thou cast it?

    When you had nothing else, caged in darkness, you learned to cultivate your anger like the finest of crops. And yet there seems to be so little for you to reap.

    The Nightsong is no more and Dame Aylin is returned to her most holy duties. Isobel Thorm is free of her grave. How they handle their past, present, and future is, perhaps, up to them.

    Summary

    Dame Aylin is no stranger to different touches – the touch of her mother’s ethereal hands on her shoulders as her blessing or guiding her arms with the power of a divine smite. The more aggressive touch of an enemy’s blade or armored fist trying to take down the daughter of Selûne. The healing touch of a cleric and the gentle touch of her beloved. But over the course of a century the imposing Aylin has complicated thoughts on being touched.

    Summary

    It is easy, natural, to intone the words, even as the recitation feels slightly more formal than Aylin is used to. The conspicuous absence surrounding her and blanketing her heart does nothing to deter her.

    Aylin's prayers in the Shadowfell, a mother who cannot hear her, and an aunt who can.

    And Isobel, darling Isobel, after.
