He was the unseen guardian, the spectral hand that guided, the ancient love that protected. He was the Impaler’s promise, renewed and unwavering, a fierce devotion that transcended the boundaries of life and death. He would continue to watch, to intervene, to ensure that this fragile life, so connected to the past he had once commanded, would flourish under his eternal, fierce protection.
