Maeve

The Hearteaters A starving refugee fleeing through the Wyld finds a strange reliquary from another age, filled with pearlescent bones. She can hear them singing to her as she approaches, calling out alone, alone, alone. She touches them, and she is Exalted. For a fleeting instant, the aurora sings inside her soul, filling every part of her being with glory and inspiration. But then the song turns to a scream as the thing that dwelt within the bones batters her senses, seeking to devour her mind and steal her body. Her will to survive is fierce, fiercer than the ancient monster in her soul, and it is she who devours the beast. But there is no feeling of triumph in this. Now she is the monster, and she is so terribly alone.
