Nightshift 40: Courtyard
[from here.]
Endrance closed the door behind him and stepped out into the courtyard. The way it looked at night almost reminded him of Indieglut Lugh, with the way the trees took on a silvery appearance and the moonlight reflected off the pond. He looked up at the sky, but the moon was obscured just enough by a cloud that he couldn't see it completely.
He moved to the water's edge, looking down at his own reflection. The bandages on his skin seemed to stand out a little more than they might have normally. He gingerly touched them, wincing just slightly at the pain.
But right now wasn't the time to focus on that. In truth, he hadn't tried summoning Macha since the Demon Palace title match. He was certain he hadn't lost his Epitaph, but...to try it here, rather than in a familiar setting, was unsettling.
He needed a minute to calm himself and collect his thoughts.
