Interlude: Nona - Part 1

Ever since she'd been given a second chance, there wasn't a day that went by when Nona didn't remember the angelkin who'd saved her.

When she'd first arrived, she'd been regarded as something of a curiosity. Maledict told his court that he "had plans for her," and that meant that everyone had, at first, asked her endless questions, even when she was taken away to be cleaned and stuff.

She couldn't say much though. She knew her own story, but that was boring to them, and when it came to the fight and the angel and Maledict... she really couldn't remember much. Just that the angelkin had made a bargain with Maledict for her life. That Maledict had used magic to fulfill that bargain.

Once it was clear the only interesting detail was that she'd met an angel, their interest in her waned after only a week or so... It was hard to tell time indoors when the sky was always dirty and black, and she was indoors all the time for the first month or so.
