The Dream and the Bargain

Fox in the Trees

Last week, I kept dreaming of a red fox.

Not running. Not fleeing. Just... waiting.

Curled up beneath cypress limbs, eyes wide with hope and something older than fear.

Something vulnerable. Something that needed help.

I don’t always know what dreams want from me.

But I try to listen.

And this time, it felt like a warning wrapped in fur and firelight.

Because this week on Tongue of the Serpent, that fox walks into the story.

Renard Blackwood, our sly, silver-tongued trickster, meets Lucifer Morningstar at the crossroads.

A deal is struck. A price is named.

Dig up a relic from the oldest crypt in New Orleans, the Devil says.

And in return, I’ll tell you everything Evelyn tried to bury.

But bargains with Lucifer never end the way you think.

The crypt breathes.

The relic is alive.

And the truth? It cuts deeper than any blade.

🕯️ Would you make a deal at the crossroads?

In a city where magic hums through the wrought iron,

Where every shadow might whisper back your name,

What would you risk for the truth?
