Chapter 112: Erla – Death
The fire did’t reach that part of town, but the dungeons cma down with the impact of the dragon’s magic. No-one searched for Erla in the rubble. It took her five days and a half to die. Her death sat down on the debris and pulled a little silver thread from Erla’s little finger. Her death pulled and pulled, patient as na artist.
However, as Erla’s death pulled on the silver thread, someting else took the place of what had been filled by Erla’s life. Darkness leaked into the body under the debris. When Erla’s death finished rolling the silver thread into a yarn, Erla rose up and the debris rolled away from her.
Erla’s death offered a hand. If Erla took that hand, her death had the power to send the darkness away. But Erla chose War.
