A Breeze on the Water

Cobbles glisten in the evening rain, leaf litter blocking the gutters and causing unshod feet to slip. Ragged men stagger home from the workhouses, brushed aside by the clicking wheels of the hansom cabs. Horses duck their heads, snorting plumes of wet, straw scented heat as the human traffic pushes past them and always, everywhere, above it and beyond it all, is the stink of the river Avon as its turgid flow seeps beneath the bridges. The river itself remains a dark, indifferent consciousness that allows anyone to stand by its weir and stare into the silent currents.

"As do I Ms Melody. I do not want to hurt you."

He grins, giving her hand another gentle squeeze before releasing her arm.

"It was a most enjoyable evening Ms Melody, filled with many delightful topics. I should take my leave however, may you sleep well."

With a deep bow, Regulus glances around to ensure no one is watching before his form shimmers and a large black Raven is stood where he was formally standing. The Raven caws softly once before taking to the air.

"Good night, Mr Raven. Sweet Dreams."

She watches him change, her expression curious, but distant. Then, as the raven disappears into the night, she turns, unlocks the stage door, and goes inside, singing quietly to herself.

"Sycamore, ash, moss and loam
Wrap your roots all around my bones
And when they come for me
When they call my name
Cast my shadow from a bellow's flame..."
