Mercury

Oh no, I'm not like the heroine of a ballad. I have to steal so that my brother and I don't die of hunger. And kill, otherwise they will kill me. To be honest, I'm quite good at it – after all, I'm still alive. Here, under the scorching suns of the Silver City, where the poor fight for a sip of water, and the immortal queen executes anyone without hesitation, it already resembles a miracle. I also hear the whispers of metals, and such a secret could cost me my life: any magic in our city is prohibited. But even in the most difficult circumstances, one shouldn't give up hope, right?
When I had the chance to change everything – I took the risk. And I would definitely have perished if it weren't for him. Kingfisher. The first time I saw him, I thought he was Death.
But it turned out to be a bit different.
