An image with a short preview of my piece for the Seat of Sacrifice Zine.

To Nothing I Wake
darkangelmya

The shriek of a blasphemy immediately carves away any other considerations and his feet pound against the cobblestone beneath him. The buildings around him are Amaurot’s towering spires as they are Radz-at-Han’s vibrant colours and there are too few differences to keep it from carving its way into him. The beast collides with Elidibus's blade, twisting and gnashing against his guard. A child sobs behind him, incoherent words but he feels their meaning all the same.

A wish for salvation.
His heart feels it too.
