"Jaaa-aack, where are yoooouuu?" I sing it out loud, the darkness seeming to amplify my voice. Then louder, more insistent:
"JACKEL!"
The forest shifts around me as I move, my ears flickering every which way as the night writhes. We speak their names, invite them in, and so they're here.
The darkness lives and breathes and hungers. It wants and needs and I? I am the one they have chosen to feed it.
The time has come, your time has come
They whisper as I walk, as they always have. But the tune has changed. My steps are lighter, my head is higher. I have purpose, and it must be shared. Which leads me to...
"JACKEL!"
I huff as I come through a tangle of roots, cursing them as I go. But there's a sound in the dark, a rustling and the Voices lean in. I breath in, thin ribs creaking as they expand around the air. "There you are!" I sigh with relief. My wings shudder, light flickering from my flanks as they're revealed and shuttered once more.
Jack be nimble, Jack be quick
Jack fell in with a lunatic
Oh, shut up.
