_{the woman: floating, eyes burning as bright as the scarlet she was swathed in, arms outstretched, mouthing unintelligible incantations. blood dripped from her eyes the same as tears. her words grew louder, louder, louder still. she was screaming then, the sound of her voice amplified by the thousands below her as they all began speaking in the same chthonic tongue. the vision turned biblical in its terror.}

_{on the ground, only one didn’t repeat the words. the man: who’s eyes weren’t trained on the sky above, at the woman crying blood, but instead on the crowd ahead. his skin invisible beneath thick armor, shield at the ready, as if awaiting an attack. as if he would be the one to protect her.}
