Sweat stained sheets crumple in shaky fingers as the lady in bed thrashes around. She wakes with a start, glowing eyes in an inky black backdrop shake her to her core and takes a few minutes to clear from her minds-eye.

Shirlyn Tenebrae isn’t easily shook, but this made her feel panicked, more so than she’s been in a very long time. “What the actual FUCK was that?” she says, wiping the sweat from her brow with the sleeve of her nightshift.

She shakily takes a drink from a mug on her nightstand, warm whiskey that is welcomed after a dream like that.

She hasn’t made it back to Tenebrae yet, that’s tomorrow, she had to stop in to The Order first to get a book on fire magics for Mattias. Still, she sends a missive to Cearleon in the early hours of the morning.

Emrys,

I know it has been a long time, but I’m coming home to roost. I will see you very soon.

She leaves the missive unsigned and sends off the swiftest moongazer she can find, one that knows it’s way back home, before returning to her rooms and sweat stained sheets.

“Tomorrow. Then… well, whatever,” she sighs before sliding a dagger under her pillow and blowing out the candle once more in her cool underground rooms.
