Summary
‘Shadow Milk hated everything.
His new home was absolutely nothing like the Spire. Instead of darkness and illusions and cards and everything he took pleasure in, this new…castle was more like a display room for the golden glory of his so-called other half, Pure Vanilla. Witches, Pure Vanilla was everything the beast despised - gentle, benevolent, kind, endlessly kind - so living in a castle, in a little room that reflected this person exactly was like a bright, living nightmare.’
•
After Pure Vanilla’s awakening, he grows a pair of wings, which Shadow Milk reluctantly agrees to preen.
Halfway through, the ancient comes up with an exhilarating idea.
