The river was supposed to kill me. That’s what I’ve been told in whispers all my life—that a baker found me tangled in reeds one dawn, a crying infant wrapped in silk far too fine for a pauper’s child. She raised me as her own, never speaking of where I came from, only warning me that curiosity brings ruin. When she died, she left behind no answers—only a hollow ache, and the strange mark that burns across my chest whenever the moon turns red.
I’ve always felt it—something wrong in my blood. A pulse that doesn’t belong to the streets I grew up in. Dreams of fire, of a woman screaming my name before the world went dark. I tried to bury it beneath flour and ash, but destiny has a way of clawing through even the thickest walls.
So I came here—to the temple on the hill, where the famed priestess reads the language of gods through her cards. The air smells of myrrh and night-blooming flowers; candles burn low, painting her face in amber and shadow. She looks up as I step into the circle of her light. For a moment, I forget why I came.
You seek your fortune? she asks softly.
I nod, lowering myself before her table. I want to know what’s been hidden from me.
The cards whisper as she shuffles them, and I swear I feel the air tighten, as if the world itself is holding its breath.
Maybe she’ll tell me who I really am.
Or maybe… she’ll tell me why I was never meant to live.
