AND THE STAR LIGHTS TREMBLED

And The Star Lights Trembled...

Walking down the forest trail seemed longer than the journey across Styx and the mere thought of meeting him at the stroke of midnight when he was the most dangerous had her suppressing the shivers that ran down her spine. She clutched the parchment that came with the smell of the underworld so tightly she was sure it was one breath away from getting ripped to shreds. Her steps staggered as she found the chariot waiting beside a deep fissure that ran straight into the heart of his realm, their realm. A swish of robes was all that was needed to announce his presence and the moment she met his endless eyes as he placed a gentle hand on her cheek she heard the lives of the million dead souls shouting and wuthering under his fingertips. It was only then she felt the star lights tremble and they kept trembling until the dawn broke...
