Flood of Reckoning

Flood of Reckoning

I chose immortality. She chose love. Clara shattered her immortal bones to stay in the mortal world as a queen. Years later, I descended from the heavens to find her chained in the Domon Suppressing Tower — her meridians severed, her beauty gone, drained to fuel the kingdom she built. Her husband crowned a new queen. Her own children called her a demon. And when she died, the kingdom celebrated. They forgot that immortals have long memories. Now I stand above the heavens. And I will bury them all.
