Ash was missing Violet desperately. He'd lost count of the days. His heart just feeling empty. It had set him on Ash. He became aggressive and agitated. Snapping on everyone around him.
Since returning to the capital in Bucharest things have been busy and messy. Lilith seemed to have been having dreams. They didn't make sense, just flashes of random images that were blurry, too blurry, she couldn't make them out.
Some had wolves and felines fighting monsters. Others had a man's blurred face. Some were just black and filled with pain she felt so deep in her bones.
Everyone has been trying to help. But it's only gotten worse. Moving from dreams that kept her from sleeping, to now moments in her waking hours. It pained the Leviathan to see his little queen so distressed and being unable to help her. He knew it was coming, the memories buried by Artemis were unlocking themselves. And he just had watch as piece by piece Lilith was crumbling.
