THE CUTTHROAT DISTRICT, INBETWIXT

My vision swam, disconcerting and unfocused. I’d been here before—this time, I was sure of it. Yet, the room seemed different. The walls were dark, the air thick with smoke. In the distance, a battle raged, steel on steel echoing through twisting halls.

I stared at the herald in the skull mask. “What do you want?”

The stranger rose from his threadbare throne and took a step closer, and his appearance swam into sharper relief. He was tall—at least as tall as Prince Scion—and wearing a black hooded cloak over a similarly dark tunic.

“Merely to offer you a bargain.”

Whatever else felt unclear, I was certain of this much: “I would rather die than make another bargain. The ones I have already are chafing enough as it is.”

He laughed, and the sound seemed to wrap around me. Most of the laughter of the High Fae felt eerie and dissonant somehow, but not his.

“What is so amusing?”

He smiled again, but this time, it was a bit brittle. “Come find me, and I shall tell you.”
