The mercenary laughed. “Oh? She didn’t tell you? She’s an Igni. A dog one from the looks of it.” Artemis whined. “But don’t worry, miss. She won’t be able to ...

“Well, you get more comfortable, and you start to make less mistakes. And slowly, each day, every day’s just a little bit better than the last.” Michael smiled. “Look, I ...

Dawn giggled madly. “I have so many stories like that about Dusk.” Dusk glowered. “And I have ones for you too. So tread carefully.” Vendetta patted Dusk. “Alright, calm down.”

Michael sighed. “Yeah, the transition can be a little rough. But rest assured, it only gets better from here.”

Artemis didn’t respond. Her breath was shallow, and she squeezed her eyes shut. Her entire body convulsed, bucking against the bonds. Sawyer pointed at her. “Hey, she’s-“ “Leave her be. ...
