Day 43 Hands bound in shackles of damascus steel, he looks up at the skeletal #judge before him. "Why have you summoned me here to the infernal court?" He asks out of turn, bold as brass, his expression bored. "The shadow council has need of you." "You couldn't just ask?" Day 44 Her eyes shone with the embers … Continue reading VSS365 Week 7
