  FALLING DOWN

  A STORY OF Larin the Builder

  IN THE PROLOGUE OF BROKEN

  TO THE ABYSS

  “...the will of steel spoke the word

  and timeless debt at last occurred...”

  “Enjoying a little chat, are we?”

  Larin froze, the words breaking over her shoulders like ice. It was over; she had failed.

  “This is your nymph, Jorn?”

  He gazed at her, still dazed by their magic conversation. Her eyes scraped over him, fast and focused, trying to memorize every line of his beautiful face, the last face she would ever see.

  “...Yes,” came his answer, his mouth curved in a soft smile. He blinked twice and his head twitched. “Master.” When he glanced up at the liquid shadow behind them, Larin closed her eyes, branding his face in her mind’s eye.

  “Merry Mother, full of grace, thy name of form and time and space...” The old prayer spilled from her lips in a breathless whisper, at once meaningless and comforting, some dusty ritual act that helped her cling to the world for precious seconds longer.

  “Lovely.” Pain jerked her inside-out and stripped her of her body, inhuman screams ringing in her distant ears. She careened through darkness and dense cold, as if her presence dragged through solid ice. The pain numbed suddenly, but never quite abated, lurking there in the background of her conscious being.

  Motion stopped, and Larin risked a look around.
