Kai took a few tentative steps into the zoo classroom. He looked around at the multitude of beasts, now realizing they were all just historia. Some of them may have even killed his fellow students.
The more their chitter filled the zoo, the more the screams of the dead echoed in his mind. Sounds that had infatuated him his entire life now became a curse. Even before he had awoken this new power he was deeply intrigued by death. He just his that intrigue under the disguise of beasts.
The scattered screams of Gracie and Vance and Cassie quickly became a focused scream. He heard the last remnants of those he'd killed.
The slavers at Mardialago. The tamers during the Bès Rap hunt. Rose. All people who deserved it, but still. Their right to die didn't quiet their screams.
