(Skeleton Key) Princess of the Damned
“EVEN NOW, in the deepest, darkest hour of the night, Princess Kazia could still hear life buzzing outside the castle walls.
She retreated farther into the garden. "Come, Nakomi," she whispered, tapping her thigh.
The monstrous black wolf materialized from the shadows beside her, only the grey mask around her eyes visible in the darkness. Obediently, Nakomi followed at her side as they slipped deeper into the expansive gardens.
"I'll bet you're grateful I chose a nocturnal pet." Kazia smiled sid...eways at Nakomi, who huffed in agreement.
The sounds of the city faded as they neared the castle, where, unlike in the village beyond, everyone slept.
Everyone but her.
She had always been more at home in the night than during the day. The sun hurt, causing severe blisters if she was out for an extended period of time, and it made her tired. When she was little, she tried to match her schedule to her family's, but it was difficult. She gave it up, and was grateful to finally embrace her nocturnal self — especially now, with such an event looming.MoreLess
