Paint a woman's face and body on the wind, sculpt it in flowing sand: moments later, it would look like this. The wide mouth, the staring eyes, the rounded breasts were still recognizable, but the arms and legs were flowing away in wisps like the long fair hair. The eddies behind the eyes gathered the torchlight as dewdrops gather sunlight: they shone with a deadly fire. And all the time the wind howled and raged, pouring up the stairwell with blinding speed, but the shape within it drifted upwards slowly as the shadow of a cloud. The wide, distorted mouth was moving, the thin voice rose clear and true above the howling. It was the last act of the Demon Queen, the glorious death song that only one voice in fifty could sing.
