The moonlight continued to spill from the sky, falling over us in sparkling lumps which appeared like snowflakes. They tumbled past me, all of them moving with purpose, directing themselves onto Cain, touching down on his skin and melting into his flesh in every place where the curse had stained it. I sucked in a sharp breath and held it, my tears spilling down my cheeks then falling still as I watched in amazement while the moon washed him free of the curse, every piece of it fading away until nothing at all was left.
