The warmer months are finally upon me and I’ve had fewer instances of drawing out Adrian’s cloak just to make it through the night. It still smells of smoke even though six months have passed since the fire, and that’s six months since he put a headstone over an empty grave. I have only seen it once, for safety reasons, but he spared no expense.
Though we both know my ‘death’ was a ruse to throw the hunters off my trail. They would not dare to harm Adrian given his place in the Light, but I am a plague that must be removed from the world apparently.
