Aurelia
and my hands aren't clean
maybe they never will be
maybe they never will be
Isolated from the bustling port, Aurelia practiced her sword forms. The dance of combat was a familiar rhythm etched into her muscle memory.
But as she spun, executing a graceful pirouette, a sinister ripple disturbed the serenity of the sand. A low hiss, like the whisper of a dying ember, slithered through the air, sending a chill down her spine. From the depths of the trees, two serpentine shadows emerged, their once vibrant scales now tainted with an eerie, purplish hue.
Aurelia's heart pounded in her chest. She tightened her grip on the sword. With a fierce battle cry, she lunged forward and met the first serpent head-on.
The creature, its movements sinuous and unpredictable, coiled and struck with startling speed. Aurelia parried its attack, the air crackling with the clash of steel and shadow. But even as she fought, the second serpent slithered closer.
With a swift maneuver, Aurelia leaped back, creating a distance between herself and the snakes. Their eyes glowed with an eerie purple light as they hissed and lunged, their bodies weaving through the sand.

but they can still carry you home
when you're ready to sleep
