Vex

I can’t stop thinking about the river stone. It’s been humming since I polished it with glow moss last night, and Nyx’s eyes—those wide, dark eyes—when she said the tremors were waking the Gorath. I found myself near the old…

I found myself near the old ruins again. Not the kind of ruins you can see from the road, the ones that crumble into the earth like old bones. I stood there for a long time yesterday, just listening to…
