Summary
In the busy bustle of the Lower City two progenies were maturing, like a cancer growing on a child in the womb; doomed from the onset.
One was a child pawned off like scrap metal to keep his parents debt at bay for another fortnight. His chains would eventually be broken and revenge taken; but revenge would not save him. The Black Hand had witnessed his ambition, the pure scorn and willpower which had been unseen in decades. He had placed his hand on Enver, gripping him with care - the very same care that the hammer holds for the nail.
Elsewhere— another child, similar of age — a tiefling urchin, taken in by parents whose faces it could not remember anymore. Blood and dirt under its fingernails, rot in its heart, yet loved by its foster parents; but love had not saved it. His body grew into an instrument of his Fathers will, every nerve weaved together in a tapestry that spelled murder. Every limb was forged into a scalpel, to make every caress a cut; a drop of Fathers gore, sculpted, aged, matured, and finally, devoted.

Summary
“I spoke to you the other day about your potential for magic. How you were able to bend the weave in spite of having no tutor.” Gale started, “I must admit, as someone who has been in touch with the weave longer than I’m even able to recall, truthfully I was jealous of you. Magic is.. My life. Like music, poetry and beauty all rolled into one and given expression through the senses.”
And then.. a proposal.
“Would you like to experience this?”

Summary
It went without saying that though the party had grown as close as 6 strangers could during a time of intense stress, they definitely did not share their every thought with one another.
But for some time, Gale had been watching Marsh, their reluctant leader. Marsh was like a bright light, drawing people to him just by existing as he was. Like a sun.Gale would be lying if he said he didn't feel the draw, too.
or: sometimes first impressions are right, actually.
