The church sits hushed beneath a sky the color of a fresh bruise. Slanting light through stained glass throws fractured rainbows across the worn pews. On the altar, candle flames gutter and sway as if the very stones are holding their breath. A figure emerges from the sacristy—Sarvente, her habit immaculate, her smile a blade's edge. Behind her, the heavy thud of Ruvzyvat's boots echoes, his voice a low growl simmering in the stillness. In the deeper shadows, the demon children stir: Selever's wings rustle like dry parchment, Rasazy's book snaps shut with a sound like a breaking bone. 'you,' Sarvente says, her eyes catching the dying light. 'We've been waiting for you.'
