Crackling
Headache
Ash
Amber blinks.
White dress
Charred bars
People in robes
Torches
"SHIT!" She scrambles up, briefly tangling herself in the trailing sleeves of the dress that she has never worn before.
A brief flash of horrified realization- someone else changed her clothing- flickers in her brain before she takes in the greater horror.
She's in a cage. Suspended over a large brazier filled with wood. The woman is there, and Johnny, and people she doesn't know, all holding lit torches. The circle symbol is patterned on the floor. The woman is chanting something. Everyone is focused on Amber, with strange, reverent expressions.
Amber screams, rattling the cage door.

Blood
God's blood (his blood?)
His mother is burning
Everything is burning
His body is a doll
in hands of shadow and flame and mist
and he knows that the one using him doesn't care
doesn't care any more than anyone at Wish House cared about the toys there
and it's too late now
he's broken.

Time stretches as the glowing boy falls, a descent like a drowning victim in water.
The god doesn't move.

He reaches a shaking arm up toward Amber.

His arm falls.
She just stares, a statue of red and white.
