As the Shadow of Death, Halo understood Dark Saint's pain.
No need to bring it up. She missed being human. That kind of topic was too sensitive for someone in her position.
Still, when the night fell that day, she departed to play her role in the Black War. She was yet to kill her number one nemesis, The Omen, after all.
After Saint left, something became clear: the time spent with her had changed Iris completely. Even the slight tension that had lingered between her and Halo after what she'd done was gone now.
Halo had no idea what Dark Saint had said to the Child of Sacrifice, but he was relieved she'd stopped acting strange around him.
He was already getting back into shape for their next assault, but the following day was booked.
Liam had sent a second crow with information on where to meet, just before Saint's departure.
He left in the pre-dawn darkness, slipping past drowsy guards, moving from shadow to shadow until he'd cleared StoneHaven's borders completely.
