In my incorporeal form, I’m easily able to pass through all of the Devourer’s defenses. He tried more times than I can count to find ways to keep me away, but all of them failed epically. How can he stop a man who doesn’t even exist? Who doesn’t have a tangible form to hurt or destroy?

Besides, I think a part of him secretly wants me to remain around. He claims that he hates me, but…that’s totally a lie. We’re besties.

He even set up four-colored lights in his living room for the times I come over and visit without a body.

Red light—no.

Green light—yes.

Yellow light—maybe.

Purple light—you’re a dumbass.

Of course, that’s not what the purple light actually means, but I took creative liberties over the years.

The only Terror who might actually, legitimately hate my guts is the Grotesque, but that’s mainly because I refuse to allow him to wallow in his tiny bridge cave. It’s honestly quite sad. He’s a grown-ass man hiding away from his problems like a goddamn teenager throwing a tantrum.

Perhaps I’ll visit him next and rearrange all of his silverware just to piss him off.

The last time I did that, he was in a mood for weeks. And by mood, I mean he tried to kill me numerous times.

But you can’t kill what’s already dead, so ha. Joke’s on him.

I float through the walls of the Cloisters, searching until I find my quarry.

The Devourer is currently in his makeshift music room, the tantalizing melody from his harp drifting to me. A tiny part of me wants to peek my head inside and watch him play, but one thing takes priority—my mate.

Glad that the other Terror is currently occupied, I glide easily into the room designated as hers and hover in the corner, watching her pace.

Her black and white hair trails behind her in loose curls as she mutters under her breath about stupid closet monsters and idiotic games. Ah. Creep must’ve come and paid her a visit. I’m surprised it took him this long to actually show his face. He’s usually the most suave of all of us Terrors, reeling in girl after girl with just a single look like a goddamn fisherman out on the sea.

I know he’s worried about hurting his friendship with Dev, but doesn’t he realize that the mating bond is impossible to deny? That it’s destiny?

Yes, I know he’s her mate, just as I know the Devourer and the Grotesque are too. They don’t know I know. They also don’t know what I know, because I know what they don’t know. It’s a lot of knowing and not knowing.

Mind. Fuck.

But I’m the goddamn Empty Man, and there’s very little that goes on in this kingdom that I don’t hear about first. When you’re an invisible entity, there’s not much to do but spy and observe—to learn to read every minuscule tick of your enemies’ faces, to hear every word they don’t truly speak, to know their strengths as well as their weaknesses.
