Donata woke up.

She looked around and pinched herself. She was still in the groove. It was still night. The silvery moon still shone above and below.

She had followed the priest’s footsteps. She had followed him and found the goddess. First, a huntress, then, a priestess. But she was still useless. Evil was victorious again and again — first taking her innocence, and then her…

What was Lucius to her? Mentor? Friend? Lov…

It doesn’t matter, she told herself, shaking her head. In the end, the sorceress took him; from me, and from the lady.

“Why?” she asked the moon. “He was one of yours! He wielded your power, same as me! Why did you let her take him, manipulate him? Was he not pious enough? Am I not pious enough?”

The moon-shard pulsed.

Donata dove into the icy waters of the moon-blessed lake. She moved her legs and bottom as her father taught her, like the river trouts.

The moon-shard pulsed.

She pushed her arms out to the side and backward, like the frogs she had watched as a child. She moved deeper into the darkness of the lake.

The moon-shard pulsed.

Deep underwater was everything she had witnessed through her mind’s eye and more. A second forest hid beneath the dark waters, now illuminated by the holy silver glow. Fish of colors she could not name flittered about trees made from amethyst coral; algae as colorful as the rainbow grew everywhere, in every imaginable shape and size. And at the bottom, at the distant bottom, illuminating it all — the moon-shard.

Donata swam toward it, her lungs burning, the air beating against her chest, demanding release. She knew she had no plan, no way to reach the surface with the shard. This was a one-way trip, the breath of life escaping from her lungs with each passing moment.

The shard was closer. But not close enough. Not even within reach.

Her vision darkened.

The moon-shard pulsed.

Donata closed her eyes, feeling the last vestiges of oxygen flee through her mouth and nostrils.
