-M79, Vampire Weekend

He shadows the illustration of a unicorn, not quite finished when the call had come. The candle smolders lower and the knotted scar across his arm burns but his strokes do not falter.

He darkens as dawn creeps outside his window.

Smudges; pushing out thoughts of death, crumbling walls, purple flashes and searing pain. Of a castle in flames.

Distorts, as in front of him, a thestral soars into battle.
