Emberwood [m] Down

Teeth scored his muzzle - Reverie's - and burned like Father Fire when he hadn't sung hard enough.

Had his sister ever struck him before?

The thought droned in the far corner of his mind, not present enough to make a difference. He did not hear her desperation. She broke the eye of his storm.

He struck back like a tempest.

Reverie! he snapped, and instead of fleeing or freezing, he reached out to push her down.
