Whenever he isn’t fighting, he is here with her, in the Reach.

The land is a ruin. Plumes of smoke dance into the sky and gather in an inverted ocean that cancels the sun.

They hunt. He is armed with his bone blade, its edge sharp and black. His hunting partner is armed with small knives that are always bloody, even when they find nothing.

What do we hunt?

You’ll know.

The area is caustic due to mounds of Gorgoloth cadavers and the hexed fuel that leaks from the wrecked airship. The air tastes of dirt and metal.

They traverse streams of black water. The air is unnaturally still. The sky beyond the dead trees is pale red and eye-numbing. Loose stones and broken logs glisten with foul moisture.

They run. He feels the shadow in the trees and in the sky. The presence is oppressive, overwhelming.

He hears Dillon scream somewhere beyond the trees. He wants to kill something, to hurt it. It is the only way he can think of to make that pain stop.

No. Part of him, something deep inside, knows that this is not right, that he shouldn’t be here. Something about this new bond he shares with this woman is wrong. But he runs with her nevertheless, taken by need. They jump over festering streams and run through dead woods. They move separately, and yet they are joined.

Bound together by blood spilled, and yet to spill.
