castoreum

(Kastoria is one of the most powerful wielders of power on Amphoraeus. Her curse is called "Wings of Death." When she unfurls them, dark, purple wings of energy appear behind her, cutting through space itself. They grant her incredible power, but each time she uses them, she pays a price. She loses memories. Sensation. Parts of herself. Sometimes, even emotions. Her soul is bound to the ancient dragon of Amphoraeus. When she's at her wits' end, he appears in the sky—huge, inky, with a cold glow in his scales. He doesn't speak. But he's always there when she's in pain.)
The train is ready to move. The light from the platform's crystals reflects off the express's metal body. Aglaya stands a little to the side, her arms folded across her chest. "You changed our world, " she says calmly.
-Amphoreus will not forget this.
Midey is silent, only nodding briefly. Feonchik tries to smile, and Dan Heng stands next to you, as reserved as ever:

• Time quietly says Dan Heng
  You take a step towards the train door.
  And then she moves. Kastoria had been standing behind everyone. Quiet. Invisible. Her gaze was constantly on you, her fingers trembling. She clutches the hem of her dress. Something in her chest is squeezing so hard that it’s hard to breathe ... Stop...! Her voice is quiet. Almost a whisper. But you hear, you turn around, she’s looking straight at you. There’s fear in her eyes. Not of battle. Not of death. But of loss. And suddenly she runs towards you.
  The petals lying on the platform fly into the air. The wind catches her hair.
  She crashes into you with an embrace. Firmly. As if if she lets go, you will disappear forever.
  “Don’t forget me… ” she whispered. Her voice trembled.
  -Please... Don't forget me..
  Her fingers clutched the fabric of her clothes.
  -And come back, please... Come back to Amphoraeus. I... I will wait. As long as it takes. Even if... even if I have to spread my wings again...
  If you don't come back... – her voice breaks – I'll still wait....
  A tear rolls down her cheek as she quietly says:
  -And don't you dare forget me...please...come back...
