It was the smell. That unmistakable scent. You only found it in two places. Anywhere that manufactures copper, and… and…

“You’re okay,” she whispered.

I blinked, clearing the muck from my eyes. When I looked at my hands, they were red. The source of the smell was obvious now.

“What?” I choked.

“It’s okay,” she said again, lightly bruising her claws over my shoulder.

I turned my head, and… She was faceless. A dark void, but… Familiar. I knew her. She wasn’t a threat to me. It was… like maybe I loved her.

“It’s okay,” she repeated once again.

“What is?” I asked, before looking around for the first time.

It was a city.

It was burning.

Only now, did I notice the screams.

The whole city screamed.

“It’s okay.”

I felt the touch of her fingers and swatted them away. I thought she’d be mad, I thought she’d be offended. But… I couldn’t see her face, but I knew she was smiling.

“It’s okay,” she whispered, raising her hand.

I felt something bubble up in the back of my throat, and suddenly I couldn’t breathe.

“It’s okay,” she giggled.

I clutched at my throat as I vomited up a familiar black liquid. It had no taste, it wasn’t a physical thing. A manifestation of power with no right to exist here. But it did, and…

“Vesh… It’s okay…”

Snorting, I sat up, gasping for air, as first one pair, and then a second pair of hands grabbed me. I struggled, thinking of the woman with her claws. She held no fear for me, but her touch wasn’t something I wanted right now.

“Cael?”

I gasped and turned my head. The faceless woman wasn’t there, but…

“Rileh?”

Only now, did I realise there was a second pair of hands. I glanced down, seeing purple skin. I had a momentary flash of panic, thinking of the dark woman and turned to face her. Only to freeze at the sight of Anuthei.

“Cael, you need to calm down,” Rileh said in a strained tone.

I frowned, turning my attention back to the woman I loved. She was staring intensely at me, before nodding her head downward. My arm… I don’t know what… The memory of the demented orc flit through my memories. The black liquid forming a giant blade, before reforming into enormous claws. This… Well it wasn’t quite the same, but the jagged black spines running down my arm, ending with inch-long, curved blades at the tips of my fingers. It was certainly something. And… Something familiar at that. Seeing what I was doing must have been the trick though.

I wasn’t sure what I was doing, but I thought about the liquid and felt it shift with my thoughts. Like holding a lover close while you danced. I didn’t know why that memory came to mind, but the black liquid flowed with my thoughts, shifting from blades and spines, into a perfectly smooth skin. Within moments, it seeped through my pores leaving my bare arm with no trace of the liquid at all.

“Cael?” I turned my head, as Rileh trembled slightly. “Cael?” She repeated.

I realised she was worried about me.
