out of the rubble, into the eave

Summary:

And really, would the Manus be foolish enough to not think of backup plan within a backup plan, for the publicity stunt they pulled in that cradle of stolen arcanist children?

Notes:

(See the end of the work for notes.)

Work Text:

The scientist is too late. The child is a little too special.

The leader of the Manus Vindictae's voice rings soft, like a mother ushering her child back home. "Venu, mia infano. La Manus akceptos vin kun malfermitaj brakoj."

Amidst the coldness of the weather, Z feels the hairs on her arms stand up— the subtle hum of an arcane skill. Stricken in place by the door; whether it be the bone-chilling fear in her bones or another arcane skill, Z can only watch as the girl and Manus Vindictae's leader disappear in a flash of light before her eyes.

Notes:

translation of the esperanto: Come, my child. The Manus will welcome you with open arms.
