Requiem of Light

"Mortui. Infernum et Caelum, mortui."- Last Scripture of the Heavens

We turn back to the city.

One by one, more flames ignite. First near the watchtowers, then along the streets, in windows, on rooftops. A chain reaction of golden light spreading across Duskreach, until the entire city becomes a sea of floating embers, scattered like fireflies in the night. I exhale, watching as the glow stretches outward, endless, beautiful.

And yet -

Something lingers in my chest. A feeling I can’t place. A certainty, quiet but undeniable.

Something has begun. Something far greater than I can imagine.
