xiii: risen

giles came to the mountebank club today. he asked me if i'd ever had dreams about the lonely hunters. if i'd ever dreamed of the archangel.
 
i think he might know who i am. who i was, i mean, before the mountebanks. before jack.
 
see, before i joined the mountebanks, before I knew anything about any of this, i had a dream about the thing dressed in flesh. it had a porcelain mask, wings of light, and a crown of flames.
 
it addressed me by name. it told me to embrace it.
 
is that why giles joined the timberwolves? did he think that dream was a prophecy when i told him about it all those years ago?
 
i don't know. i just hope he knows the timberwolves aren't his friends.
 
but am i?
