I fear no evil, the
shadow is mine and
so is the valley
shadow is mine and
so is the valley
The relic had not been hers for the taking, but Vendetta does not wear disappointment upon her face when the island somehow deposits her out onto the bridge when one moment she had been standing there, facing down all the challenges it had put against her. She turns her sharp, ruby eyes back for one moment to consider it, the island, whose mysteries were still a mystery to many, before heading back to Novus.
But when she reaches the beaches of Denocte, the piers, the docks, the world begins to tremble. Above, in the sky, the sun begins to tick its way across the sky once more, no longer prisoner to some strange magic. And the island, even from here, she can see its descent into madness.
Equines are racing across the bridge which is buckling and bucking in the water and more than one are lost to the sea and beasts that had been lurking beneath. She wonders how many more will be lost to the island as it collapses upon itself. She wonders who has the relic, now, for surely someone must. That is the only explanation she can think of.
Vendetta does not race, does not run, does not fear. The promises of the relic surely would have been nice but the unicorn already has greatness and power, and a business to return to. Curling, crimson horns glinting in the light, the Mistress turns her back upon the island for the second time and final time.
It will be gone before she reaches Solterra, but she will have moved on long before then.
