# Shattered Visions: Requiem _Special Thanks to [[Reevee]] for transcribing this from [Saints and Sinners: Ave of Steel Ep 5](Saints%20and%20Sinners.md)._ Characters: [Thorne](Thorne%20Saltspire.md) _As Thorne focuses her eyes, there is a flash of Indigo Light, and within it she sees the sacrifices she has made, and those alongside her have made. The blood tax paid by the City of Pale. Friends lost. Love gained and lost. Over and over, a cycle of loss._ _Yet within it a stubbornness to die. Words speak to the wish of death, but the soul refuses, the mind, it lies._ _Fear is the vessel._ _Piece by piece, fear is whittled away... until one sacrifice gives way to a bright and harrowing scar._ _And where Thorne once stood, a wash of indigo hues will encroach and swirl around her. Like a rough gem polished to a sheen. pieces of her armor begin to break away as she finally fully gazes through the eye that was lost, and the eye that was gained._
