((You’ll see soon enough why it doesn’t seem to work for Skylight))

Skylight shook her head and replied, “We already tried that, multiple times. It helped a little, but I relapsed only a few days after. And we tried it on Eglantine too, but it didn’t work on her either. But then again, she’d been shot by a poisoned arrow, so I guess it wasn’t just the deities poison killing her.” She shrugged, trying to act as if she didn’t care.

“Mother and the doctors have speculated why it doesn’t work, and one of the theories they came up with is that when my wings were amputated, both at separate times and for different reasons, the wounds didn’t heal properly and infection set in. It’s the most plausible, since the wounds did fester, but Eglantine managed to heal it.” She added, thinking. “So I might be dying from an infection from my wounds as well. They never fully healed.”

Pursing her lips, Skylight thought for a few silent moments and stared at her black nails, avoiding Dominic’s gaze as well. After a long silence, she said, “It’s fine. It was only an idea, a theory.” She glanced up, giving him a wry grin. “But on the bright side, I suppose I’ll see Eggy down in the Gardens of the Underworld. It can’t be that bad. Unless I get eternal punishment, but hopefully not.” She laughed a high, shrill laugh, failing miserably to hide the tangled mess of emotions in her eyes.
