Out from that flickering gloom, Raleska fancied she saw a shift of palest blue -- quickly eclipsed by shadow. The chill in her bones rattled along her spine, her hackles lifting in uncertainty .. and then a demon, or what appeared to be one, pulled its dark form from that blackness with such boundless ferocity that Raleska stumbled back in terror.
The first thing she noticed as she fell back against the soft sand was the madness - the exhaustion in those dark-ringed, champagne eyes. Then the teeth, and the deep wrinkles that cut their way across that dark face. Her eyes widened as she hunched before the beast, her ears suddenly ringing in roaring panic --
and it all came back
the sea
Drageda
the arc splatter of blood - Eurycrates, throat exposed and pulsing through a glittering sunset --
the vision of Dacio materializing from the thicket, his teeth gleaming
"NO!" She cried, shielding her face instinctively from the shadow that was sure to strike her down.

all of which makes me anxious,
at times unbearably so.
