Standing atop the small knoll, I looked down over the lovely village of Kalo Horio. Good village…good village, my ass. It was the place of my nightmares. Just off in the distance, I thought I could make out the roof of the house where Despoina had lived. Why was it even still standing? I should have torn it down until it was nothing but rubble. Salted the earth. It was cursed. It was there in that very spot that the horror of my human life had unfolded. Where they had killed my child. Where I had killed them, seven women. I’d killed seven women, then ultimately myself. Blood stained it. Death. And now…madness. Her madness. Despoina’s taint had carried on even into death. Or perhaps it was mine. I could still hear their screams. And my own. I could still feel the blade. And I could hear Will’s voice— This is not the way… I’d never wanted to return here. The wind whistled through the air, a terribly lonely sound. Next to me, Luc stood patiently. The wind kept blowing my hair into my eyes and I reached for a band to hold it back.
