the light of the Lunar Eclipse—let them see!"

rituals and a past she has no right in remembering—or does she?

but after one visit things begin unraveling far too fast.
Time is
running out...or has the battle for one woman's soul just begun?

Beyond
her heavy eyelids, Kirra knew she was no longer alone. In the darkest shadows a
presence had joined her.
The being
didn’t breathe. Her sensitive hearing would have detected the slight whoosh of
air filtering through the spongy mass of a living lung.
It also
wasn’t human—her tongue would have tingled from the imminent promise
of a blood offering.
Whatever
the thing was, she had never encountered its kind before.
A slight
shift in the air to the left alerted her to the creature’s exact position. Part
of her wanted to be afraid but her stronger essence knew there was nothing to
fear.
A
prickling began in the tips of her toes as she pushed the comforting thought
into every corner of her brain. Curious about the cause, she stilled her mind
and focused on the heat spreading from her feet throughout the rest of her
body. Not an entirely unpleasant sensation, it was much like bathing in a
gentle wash of warm water.
Once the
sensation penetrated her brain she knew all her past actions were being picked
apart and judged by the invading heat. Somehow she understood that the being
held her life in its hands. Despair saturated the infrastructure of her spirit
but ceased almost immediately, leaving a sense of weightlessness at her soul’s
core.
“Only the
pure of heart can receive my protection—all others perish during the purging.”
The edict
slipped into her thoughts like soft feathers turned to a thick warm liquid.
Through the haze washing over her reflective process, Kirra sensed her body
being lifted off the slab of stone and was unable to resist the movement.
To be
cradled against an essence exuding such strength and vitality made her want to
cry. All she’d been lacking in her heart flooded her system, choking the breath
from her lungs.
“Weep
not...”
The voice
drifted off into unintelligible murmurings as the shadows behind her eyes
turned pure black and Kirra’s thoughts were no more.
