Lilith’s feet touch the ground, tickled by each blade of grass. She shivers as a sharp gust of wind cuts through her wings. After a long day of the Chase, they’re hot to the touch. She knows she’ll have mere moments before they show up. She unsheathes her dagger and pulls out some fruit, sitting below a tree. From there, she’s out of the empty clearing where she’s most vulnerable, but just close enough to watch the moon reflect on the pond in the field. She knows better than to lead them here two nights in a row, but last night had just bee...
