Summary
“So, what brings you out here?” he asked, as he pulled down his mask. He sounded like he had a good guess already. He was perceptive, and Wylder had never been good at hiding his thoughts.
He turned to look out at the horizon. The sun was now setting; the varied hues in the sky were subsumed into a single, stark red.
“Death,” he said. “I dreamed of death.”

Summary
Before its fall, the School of Mensis was a school, where eager students flocked to learn the insights of the universe. They had lectures, and term papers, and the occasional extradimensional field trip and horrifying experiment conducted on each other in the name of ascending to a higher state of being, as all decent colleges do. Micolash is a professor here, and while he may enjoy doing his arcane research into the secrets of the cosmos... he also has assignments to grade.

She stroked the brooch with her thumb and imagined that there was still an ember of warmth within it. She didn’t protest when a trembling hand in stained glove closed over both objects and hid them from view. She would leave them with him, let him keep these mementos of failure close to his chest. Every Hunter had to start with the simplest of badges.
She was too old to carry all of hers around, her back was not what it has been a decade ago.Bookmarked by inthesoup

Summary
He reached for the knife, wrapping his fingers around the still-stained handle. He exhaled, closing his eyes as he whispered the silent prayer. The blade’s point drove through the fabric, and he felt it meet flesh…
And he stopped. His heart was racing, his hands shaking as he held the knife to his middle. His entire body froze, rigid, unable to move.
