I took a breath that felt like a scream, and found the real darkness of the Hall of the Chimeras, candlelit and thick with shadows. I called the witchlight in a blazing crown, as if I could force the shadows to fail and die by nothing more than strength of will. Mavortian glanced back, and I could read the look he gave me; I’d seen it a thousand times before: peacock. I gave him my best and most infuriating smirk in return.
