the heron’s skull sat on a stone plinth, remnants of gristle clinging to its freshly degloved beak. its eye was lodged inside its mouth, its bill wrapped shut with its own gristly intestine. flowers packed each orbit, and a stone sat deep where a tongue once probed. 

qiao’s retinue had been made known to those of muat-riya. @Stormchaser tended to the children, his dark face mulling as he directed @Rowdy and @Riot to their quarters. 

the priestess closed her eyes. there were many rites to perform still. eset’s health was tenuous; in the long hours thereafter the priestess tended to her as she was allowed; often silent in her work, giving passerbys only a glance as they visited eset in her chambers. 

the road ahead of the woman would be long — and without joy. if only the lost souls expelled from eset’s breast could be recovered!

she clucked her tongue in curbed disappointment, restocking the herbs just outside eset’s chamber room.
