One of Nine Lives Lost

[Jess]

As a sermon carried on in the Cathedral of Aphros explosions would rock it's keep.
From the prison they originated but soon spread beyond.
Civilians reported skeletons briefly appeared on the streets in the wake of a battle,
attacking civilian and non-Magi alike.
The passage from the city littered in debris from explosive shadowflame.

The prison damaged and smoldered as more news and rumor would soon follow.
That a particular black cat with orange eyes had evaded justice, and even worse..?

She had been practicing an art most foul beneath the noses of all.

Yet there was a certainty to carry through the rumor and hearsay.

A threat had just slipped through the fingers of the Bastion.
