EVELYN
Full lips stretched into a dark smile as life persisted, despite the odds that were stacked against them. Starvation, dehydration, famine, disease - all of these things threatened, beckoned, and yet they existed despite them all - they were alive, but not by the blessing of Vi, or Safrin.
It would be strange to live without the sensation of touch, without the sun heating their skin or the wind stealing their warmth. They had no warmth, except for the fire of their ambition, and oh, the twins had ambition. Determination to survive, to thrive, to bring others into the fold of the Voice - it would all happen in time.
A howl was on the wind, supplied by a lupine somewhere in the distance. Oh, how they had hoped to become Attuned for so long - but being attuned wouldn't have let them or their family survive. No, they would have to learn what it was to live as a machine instead.
"Coming," her soft, lyrical voice chimed, a hand reaching out to grasp her sister's, missing the physical sensation of touch, but accepting it in exchange for this life with her.
Together, they would face the night.
Together, they would rule the night.
