Your worst enemy, she reflected, remained your frail body’s own nervous system. At any moment the tension inside was liable to translate itself into some visible symptom. The thought of shadows, pleasantly carrying a haughty presence without interference nor intervention, just several meters away, contorted the left side of the Aasimar’s face ever so slightly. This sort of spasm occurred when hatred quaked, but then settled. It happened again, as her staff chiseled into the road. Only a twitch, a quiver, rapid as the fluttering of a hummingbird’s wings, but now obviously habitual. She remembered pondering of her former self, that poor devil slaughtered before reaching her promised abode of the afterlife. What was more frightening was this reflex was not only unconscious but incessant. More so, there was no way of guarding against the facial ripple, so far as she could see, as if the muscles of her cheek were cringing from a provoked seizure. She drew in a subtle breath to calm herself, but the teeth remained on edge, conspiring against her chin to demonstrate themselves to this fallen world. The saliva pooling, begging the quandary of swallowing or spitting. The warlock wasn’t married to either option, hoping the odor of battle would eliminate this villainous distraction, upon more worthy enemies. The stench of war, inextricably mixed up with magic and metal, breached the paroxysm for an invariable confession, as she prepared an orb of radiance in her dominant hand.
