City Of A Thousand Feelings – Anya Johanna DeNiro

Or rather I didn’t believe they were about you.” “I’m glad your curiosity has been satisfied,” I say, trying to sound like a sorceress instead of a scared pikewoman in a doomed army. “But I don’t understand why you’re here. Unless it’s to make me remember things that I’d rather forget.” “Ah, my little subterfuge. I apologize about that. But I wanted to show you…it was really me.” You manage a smile, as if to test whether our old bond still exists.

“Besides, you are a powerful woman now. I thought, with your magic, no single thing was ever lost to you.” “I choose what I find,” I say in a low voice. “And your ‘gift’ is better left lost.” “But it’s not,” you say, leaning forward, and I can tell you’re getting impatient with me, not used to having your hints and desires rebuffed. Or maybe you’ve forgotten how stubborn I can be. “The battle we had?

It’s still hanging in the air, like the peal of a bell. Lost? It’s never lost.” I shake my head and refuse to say anything more. We lost, I want to tell you. “Why are you so angry with me?” she says, in a soft tone that I recognize from before, when she still had hazel in her eyes. I look at her, and she is scared. We are scared sisters together once again. In the violet flame I can almost see her engulfed by the angels surrounding her— “Because I thought you’d died,” I manage to growl, turning away.

“And what’s more, I couldn’t protect you when you ran forward like that. I didn’t know you could…protect yourself like that. That you had been apprenticed to the Silent Ones.” You nod and sigh.
