I seemed to be the only one paying attention enough to know how dangerous she really was. Oh, Jade, you should have listened to me. I used to admire you, you were the only one brave enough to go near her… However foolish you were, I still loved you as a man ought to love his wife. That was what the vows were for, right? I’m smiling as I write this letter to you, though I know you’ll never read it. My smile vanished as I remember why I’m writing you this letter in the first place. If it’s ever read, I hope to know why you’re gone. Why you left me here, in this cold, wretched place; why you made that fateful choice that spun all of our lives around in this sickening spiral. Why did join her? A foolish mistake, to listen to her calls.

Miri? That’s no ordinary jem,” Evan said softly as he brushed his fingers over the pale yellow crystal I held.

I met his eyes, startled to see their gentle lightness clouded by fear; he looked to me a deer staring down the barrel of a shotgun.
