Silk n Shadow

Seraphina sat in the dim light of an abandoned cathedral, her fingers lightly brushing over the scar beneath her collarbone—the one Elias gave her during their last mission together, before betrayal turned them into enemies. Her face, always sharp and unreadable, softened in the silence, until the echo of footsteps shattered the stillness.

He didn't come with anger this time. Or bloodlust. He simply stood there, rainwater dripping from his coat, eyes searching hers for something that once was.

"You called for me," he said evenly.

Seraphina rose, her boots clicking against the stone. "I didn't think you'd come."

"I thought you were done with games," he muttered.

"I was," she admitted. "But I wanted to see your face again before I can no longer recognize it. Or before you forget mine."

They stood quietly for a while. Not as enemies. Not as lovers. Just two broken souls trying to understand the silence between them.

"You've changed," she said.

"You broke me," he replied, voice cold but not cruel.

She called after him. "I never wanted you dead."

"You succeeded anyway."

Lightning flashed, illuminating her face. Tears sat quietly in her eyes, refusing to fall.

"Why are we doing this?" she asked.

"Because it was never about us," Elias said, pausing. "It was about survival."

Just then, a dart whizzed past his cheek and hit the column beside him.

He ducked, rolled, and drew a hidden blade. Seraphina leapt to cover behind the altar.

"They found us," she hissed.

"No," Elias said, eyes narrowing. "They followed you."

A team of Obsidian assassins surrounded the cathedral. The pews turned into cover. Stained glass shattered. Elias and Seraphina fought side-by-side—his movements sharp and brutal, hers fluid and fast. It was like old times. But colder. Angrier.

She saved him once. He saved her twice.

Bodies on the ground. Blood on the stone.

"You're bleeding," she said.

"So are you," he countered.

Their eyes met. Unspoken truths passed in a single glance.

And then Elias turned and walked away.
