Eris is by Kiri, a gift from Sylvey!
The great emptiness she'd expected came flooding in all at once, and her ears pressed back into her skull, looking up at Salvia. What did she have left? All her power was Salvia's now. Even the good graces of their king and beloved boss were hers, and a great jealousy flared deeply within the woman, though she kept her face masked. Salsola was hers, built on the whispers in Anathema's caves long ago and Sirius's strength; did she have no place within it anymore? But she said, and said meekly: Yes.
She tried to rise and slipped again, grunting as she hit the ground. Huffing her displeasure, the hybrid extended both hands toward Salvia, clutching toward her. Help me, she pleaded. She did not want to be on the ground anymore; she wanted to return home as she'd been bid to do, and sleep forever underground. Please, she added, chartreuse eyes never meeting her usurper's brilliant gold-yellow gaze.
