Chapter Thirteen

I wasn’t sure when sleep took me again, but my thoughts were filled with the words Raven spoke. Dreams rose, vivid and intense.

Flames filled the air as I stood outside a great forest, the wildwood perhaps, but I heard nothing but screams. Ash and fire filled the air as villagers ran, throwing water over the inferno that raved above them, but there was no stopping it. Families fled with what little possessions they could gather before the fire broke out. Mothers with loose hair, clutching fat babies to their chests and holding on to the hands of young boys and girls. They all ran toward the wildwood, toward me. But I didn’t stop to help them, instead I raised my hands. Black feathers swirled through the air as the raven flew above me, screeching a cry from his beak. Dread filled my heart, for the darkness was coming, somewhere beyond that curling mist of smoke, hiding from view. I both longed to see and dreaded it, and within me a wave of magic grew. Ready. Waiting. And then she appeared, walking through the fire as though it couldn’t touch her. On her head was a crown of white bone, and her face was deathly pale. Black hair flowed like a river to her waist, and around her neck was a necklace of mail. A thin silk skirt clung around her legs, showing off flashes of her battle armor. Death flew from her fingers. Soulless eyes took in the misery around her and a laugh burst from her wicked lips. She pointed at the raven, and from her profile I saw the skeletal bones of her body, covered with a glamor of flesh. “I am the Goddess of Death. Come join your new queen.”
