Status Updates From Mystic and Rider (Twelve Ho...

“You say I have the power to break you—well, you have changed me, and I did not think I was capable of changing again.

Tayse lifted his eyes, unfathomable in the night, to examine Senneth. “And you are not overfond of killing anything,” he said.

That’s love, boy!!!! 🥲

“Fifteen men, maybe. I can hear them arguing—and boasting—‘Send the mystic out, I’ll see if she frightens me!’ Things like that.”
Tayse edged past her. “I’ll go first.”
She strode ahead of him. The fire in her blood, which had calmed to a charcoal sludge in the last twenty minutes or so, had sparked again to a yellow-gold heat. “Oh no,” she said, yanking the door open, “let me.”
