Something vicious and wicked rips at my gut. It slices its cold, cruel
talons through my insides and if I didn’t know it was all in my head,
the pain, the hurt, the—I cut that thought off with a shake of my head
as I watch the sun rise over the frothy waves. To the east.

I often wonder what changes would my life have taken had my brothers
and I been taken to Perditia instead of Riviere. What I know of the place is
minor, but I do know that Azai—our sire—avoids it like the plague. Just
that fact alone makes it a desirable home. A place far from his reach, far
from the center of the cruelest Gods. A place that even Tryphone, himself,
respectfully keeps his distance from.
Would anything have been different had I gone to the eastern
mountains? I wonder silently. Would I have avoided meeting the Terra now
residing down within the lowest dungeons?
I close my eyes and inhale slowly through my nose and exhale out of
my mouth as I try to stifle that unerring emotion that has wracked me since
the night I visited my Terra—no, since I visited Kiera—down in the
dungeons.
Quiet footsteps echo along the path leading to the overlook I’m

certainly not of this world have me tensing further the second I recognize
them. Caedmon. I face the sight before me once more and grind my teeth.
Any other God, I’d be happy to contend with at this moment. Axlan, with
all his bluster and aggression. Narelle, with her cold cutting eyes. Even
Dolos would be preferable at this moment. All of them, I could shield
against. I could draw the walls up and let the ice fall into place, hiding my
truths. But not him.
Never him.
Caedmon doesn’t say anything as he slows his gait and approaches
where I stand against the jagged stone railing that looks out across the
blackened sea and the cloudy mountains so far in the distance that they’re
mere specs in my imagination. Far below, the sound of the ocean crashes
against the cliffside, angry and unforgiving. Much like my own damn mind.
I look down. Rocky pillars jut up and out of the black, blue, and gray
