Engraved: book Five of the St. Croix Chronicles
“Making my way through Limehouse without a hue and cry much less so.
I was not so foolish as to let down my guard, but there were only so many paths that one could attempt, and each proved to be watched by the Veil’s new favored hounds.
The Black Fish Ferrymen infested the district, and my luck was not so long-lived that I could avoid them entirely.
The hue and cry rose less than an hour into my flight, and weariness was beginning to take its toll. My throat had become something of a... ragged burn, overly sensitive to the fog I breathed in as I darted lane to lane, road to road and between structures that provided little enough shelter for moments of peace.
To think that most I passed continued to behave as I was certain they always did, even whilst full grown men chased an urchin across the bloody whole. I lived quite the surreal life, and this without the duality of Society’s aether-guided gondolas or alchemy’s interventions.MoreLess
