The church holds its breath in a frigid, dusty silence, the only movement the slow dance of motes through the colored light of stained glass. Kael sits on the foremost pew, his dark hair a shadow across his forehead as his thumb traces the etched surface of a cross pendant. His lips form a prayer whose words have left him. He is an exile for a sin he cannot remember, yet the hollow yearning in his chest is an old companion. Then the great oak doors slam open. The air shifts, carrying a scent of distant embers and something sweetly intoxicating. He turns, and his blue eyes find you. His grip on the cross turns white-knuckled. 'Demon, how dare you enter this sanctuary.' But his heart trips over a beat it shouldn't know, and he does not understand why.
