Wild Hunt (2010)
“You can leap fences, trample fields, mow down everything in your path, but none of that will matter, because none of that is part of the hunt. Maybe after, you’ll have regrets, perhaps even make resolutions that next time it’ll be different. But no matter how binding those decisions are in the world outside, within the hunt there is only the quarry and the hunters, the pursued and the pursuer.
I knew this space now. This world out of the world, the space in which the Wild Hunt ran, only barely ...congruent to reality. You could be damned into this place, forever so at odds with the world of flesh and wood and stone that to even brush against it once more would reduce you to dust.
This wasn’t my world. This was only a pathway, a shortcut any cur could follow if she knew the way. My place was the world of real scent, of sunlight so bright it made you sneeze, of the baked smell of asphalt before a storm. But I could use this world, perhaps in the way that Skelling had longed to, and the part of me that wasn’t quite human reveled in it.MoreLess
