POV: Ash
Location: Northern Empire
Dawn was about to break, and Lula's body was in my hands wrapped in a blood-soaked garment, I flew endlessly under the disappearing night until I got to the Garden of Fairies.
Landing on the web of wood bridges interlinking the tree houses, the walkways were empty, it was graveyard silent with only weird noises coming out from crickets.
With each step I took getting closer to Lula's family house my heart would feel heavy, what would I tell Natali (Lula's mother)?
Lula died protecting me, I am the reason she died, she got caught up in my entanglement.
Natali has every right to hate me, to demand revenge.
My parents sold me to the Dark Union for a bag of gold when it was discovered I possessed the crimson blood, I became their livestock and they harvested my blood daily for their witch's experiments.
