Chapter 238

• Tatiana:
• The mist curled at my feet like a pet waiting to be unleashed. It's waited for my signal, but I refused to give it to it tonight, not when she was coming now, and I knew that I was going to need to be composed, that I was going to need her to be on my side.
• It was restless tonight, thick, electric, breathing with me as I walked through the dense trees. The number of lives that it took, the power that radiated from it, the fear that I've had from it amazed me. It impressed me, and yet I knew that I had other things to take care of.
