Summary
To collect a debt twenty years past, Clare has followed her life's bane to the caverns of Khazad-dûm where she demands admittance and more than an apology.
...Before she set out into the woods, pursuing the elf that was now only a few passionate paces away; Before she even left the rotting slums of her withering town—they stripped her of everything. Her lock tools pawned, her pride broken, and her spirit stretched so thin she could see the sun through it. She was barren, a plundered mine. All that remained with her waited, buried deep in the ash of her chest. A wheezing ember that grew with each breath, with each passing moment the neck of that pointy-eared bastard evaded her grip.
