Verdigris Ravine Ghost

Set just after this

She ran, at first. Candle ran as far and as fast as her legs would take her, trailing blood heavily, but soon she could run no more. Everything hurt, and she hardly knew herself from the earth beneath her as she dragged her ruined body back to her home.

The priestess called haltingly for help; for @Sari, for @Zoug, for anyone who would come. Then she let herself collapse just outside the ravine, too weak to move any further. Blood gathered under her.
