From His Shield to His Nightmare
Nyx let out a piercing shriek, not like a bird, but like an infant being dismembered alive.
I saw the beautiful blood-red light being forcibly stripped from him, dissipating into black smoke.
His black feathers fell out in clumps, revealing raw, bloody skin beneath.
My heart felt like it was being torn apart by the same spell, the pain was unbearable.
But my face remained expressionless.
I simply carved this pain, this hatred, into the very marrow of my bones.
I watched the life I created, the symbol of our past, being tormented, devoured, and consumed by the “pure blood” that represented his new alliance, his new mate.
