I’d never expected to be poisoned with such delicate precision that my mind was stripped layer by layer, whilst I was strapped onto a throne of feathers and bones — nope, not missing the irony — in a Citadel of polished obsidian, which forced me to witness my shattering in mirrored glory.

Or that the poison would be presented in crystal cocktail glasses with encrusted rims, which smelled of tequila.

I sniffed at the latest poison, which bubbled in swirling salmon with a deeper curl of sienna, whilst underneath the mask of tequila burnt the whiff of sulphur.

I gagged, holding the hissing glass further away from me, whilst wriggling my ankles against the bone fingers that clasped my ankles into place on the throne.

I pouted, thrusting the drink back at the Amitiel, the Head Poisoner.

Amitiel sprawled elegantly on the only other piece of furniture in the obsidian room: a silver throne opposite mine that was set up to watch the show. Her hair wound in a spiral on top of her head like a sleeping cobra, just as she curled in the chair: dangerous but waiting to strike. Her ebony skin melted into the dark, along with her oily black dress, until she was nothing but piercing eyes, scrutinizing me in the dark.

Taking me apart.

I licked out my tongue; a drop of poison leapt from the glass — there’s always one overeager bastard. It was hot this time and it burnt.

Why couldn’t Amitiel force me? Why always this ritual of willing sufferer?

J, should I drink…?

I don’t even know what it’ll do it to me. What I’ll lose this time. If I’ve already lost…me. The ancient powers or…?

Who I am…?

Please, J, are you still even bastard there?
