No, Ignotus's humanity had long since corroded.
His memories were witness to that, and now, Eris was too.
Sitting on his lap was a... crow? Yes. It was a crow.
Its eyes were a bright, deadly red, similar to Eris's.
"Calamity!"
Indeed, this was Eris, only in another form.
Learning from what happened with their little hostage situation, she assumed a flying form.
It'd give anyone who wished to target Her a much harder time, and it gave Her much greater autonomy.
She'd never let that happen again!
Neither would Ignotus.
"Hm, what is it?"
He petted Her little head.
"Have you noticed something?"
Eris nodded towards his heart.
'It stopped.'
Ignotus's eyes trembled a little.
"I..."
He sighed and closed them shut.
Quieting his mind, he went deep in his Soul.
There, in the white space, above Eris, he saw the cracked sky.
That wasn't new, of course, but what was new was the fact that its healing had paused.
"I expected this... but not this early."
