sinner;

[Valdis]

And in the darkened underpass I thought,
"Oh Satan, my chance has come at last!"

Mary had greeted her at the walls of Sylva. They met each other with scrutiny, but Valdis was permitted through nonetheless. Unable to turn her back on curiosity, she threaded herself through the autumnal forest and drank in the scenery for the very first time. It’s odd how such a colorful place holds captive a dark and brooding beast.
 
Perhaps, there is much more that she needs to learn about Sinner.
 
Just as in the meadow, Valdis isn’t sultry or seductive in the way she weaves through the territory. She frequently takes pause to search her surroundings and memorize what she can. From large boulders to small ponds, there is a lot to admire. Yet her thoughts frequently stray to Hyaline and its open landscape. The skies were far more welcoming there and enticed her to try touching the clouds as a child. Here, she is confined. Sheets of sunlight penetrate the canopy. The frost along her body glistens each time she passes underneath the light, dulling when she creeps slowly into the shadows.
 
Valdis doesn’t call for him. It’s likely that he has already found her and is stalking her like the predator he is. She instead roams quietly alone, savoring what she can until her solitude is disrupted.


VALDIS

But then a strange fear gripped me and I just couldn't ask.
