City of Glass

Raven waits in the city of glass, listening for the song of battle. She saw the blue guile in her lover's eyes and knows he will not return. Shadows hiss and roar in the distance; they will reach the city and swallow it whole. She bears her sword and will fight alongside her sisters, and she will die with a broken heart. The soldiers left, but the city is not defenseless until the shadows arrive. The pride of the elders angered the powers that slumbered in the deep, and overhead the stars wink out like snuffed candles. Justice has come.
