You wanted this. You needed this. What do you do when the only way to emerge is to burn? You wake up. How do you reconcile being a creature of myth in your dreams and such a small, soft thing that is inordinately fond of tea? How do you tap into the source and wake up the sleeping creature within you. You know the golden glint of its eyes, the heat of its feathers as it gives birth to worlds. Everything about it is colour and light. You'll sacrifice, you promise. You'll sacrifice everything this life has to offer to feel that rush of magic again, to feel the power in you and know that you are a worldbuilder, that you are here to help bring about a new age. But first you have to get to class. Luckily, there you're not alone. You see your lover as soon as you enter the door. They are...

You've always wanted to be in love but you live so much in your dreams that you wondered if you'd ever find what you're looking for. But you found each other in poetry and skin covered in swirling marks and shared stories of myth. You aren't a child any more, but somehow being together feels as vivid and romantic as your favourite fairytale stories. Together, the world becomes everything you ever dreamed of. A perfect twilight. The trees are frosted and the day outside is a dark glittering calm. You can see your breath and hear your boots crunch the snow.

On and on you went until finally they gave you a crown. But as that crown was placed on your head, you realized that you no longer had any heart left to give. Your chest was empty and hollow. Your skin became cold and your eyes became dull. It is dark there now in the space where your heart used to be. Inside it you keep a clock so to hear an aritificial heartbeat, to remind you that once... you were soft and warm... once you were a creature of flesh instead of carved and painted bone. You don't regret. Instead, you understand this was necessary. It helped you survive. You've been here in this mansion waiting ever since for the next warrior of light to come along and help restore your heart to you. Only then will you be free to leave this throne and this twilight palace. They will take your place as monarch of this realm of eternal ticking and broken parts and spirits trapped in bone.
