BRIMSTONE
Our Kingfisher? Our Kingfisher? This sick piece of shit couldn’t claim any part of my mate. Fisher was mine.
Malcolm’s smile fell when I lifted the little leather pouch he’d placed the coin inside.
Thief skills thief skils thief skills :D
And I had Solace in my hands. “Only the gods are eternal,” I told him. And I cut off Malcolm’s head.
Yes yes yes yes yessssssssss
“I don’t give a shit! I’ve lived plenty, Tal. She’s barely lived at all. I’m fucking giving it to her.”
A friend?
“Tell me she fucking consents!” Taladaius yelled. The world faded away.
Definitely An ally atleasst
Pain cut through me like a kni— “Oh, gods. Is she alive?” Carrion’s face above me, pale and lined with worry. BOOM!
The mountain that weathers all storms, a voice said very clearly in my mind. I had no control over my body.

You stand before a door. Your hand is poised to knock. Are you ready to walk through it? Will you leave this place and see what lies beyond in the next?
A shadow falls across Yvelia. It will alter all it touches. You would rather remain here, knowing that suffering and hardship loom on the horizon? That sacrifices will need to be made?
I didn’t need to consider my answer. Whatever the cost would be for staying with him, I would pay it. Yes, I said.
As you wish. Then we call in our favor, Saeris Fane. Will you honor your word and grant us our favor?
I grabbed the strap of his chest protector, alarm bells ringing in my head. “I’m sorry,” I gasped. “I—” I was ripped from his arms.
My arms and legs streamed behind me as I was yanked backward. Air rushed past my ears. Lorreth and Carrion cried out, too.
“It’s dead.” “Don’t be ridiculous. Of course it isn’t dead.” “How can you be so sure?” “Because Father willed it here, stupid.

was lying in a vast field at the foot of a rolling hill. Atop the hill stood a lone oak tree so magnificent that it took my breath away.
Nineteen. And they were identical in every way. Dressed in loose, dark gray dresses, they wore nothing on their feet.
Two pairs of quick, royal blue eyes shot through with silver threads watched me with a keen interest as I got to my feet.
INTERESTINNGGGGGGGGG
“Sorry. Tell you what what’s like?” “Sex,” the other girl said, tilting her chin. “With that male. Our father’s champion.” “With… Fisher?”
WILD
We’ve been waiting an eon for him to gift us with our own playmate, but thus far, no other of our kind has braved the journey to visit our Corcoran.”
If carrion was a better person lol he is still a GOAT though for his part in all of this
They grinned at each other happily, still holding each other’s hands. “She speaks with such lovely manners.”
A rare occasion, we should celebrate
Amidst the roots of the giant oak tree, a broad, eight-foot-wide ribbon of silver formed a moat.
I noticed beads of the shining metal spilling down the tree’s broad trunk like sap and rolling into the moat.
She’d warned in no uncertain terms that a person should never let this god look upon them. Not even a statue of him.
here he was—the physical embodiment of him, anyway—sitting on a rock, waiting to have a chat with me. Fuck.
UR COOKED
“And you are Saeris. Sister to Hayden. Daughter to no one.” He nodded to the inkwork on my hands. “Also, mate to my champion.”

I’ve spent a great deal of time watching the threads of the universe, waiting for one such as you,”
“An Alchemist, at last, to reset the balance and clear the way for what is to come.”
A heavy burden
“Here, we stand at the edge of the universe. The roots you see, growing down into the earth, into the quicksilver, are the anchors of fate.”
“The silver leaves above mark all the realms of our domain.
We water the roots of fate. We train the boughs and prune the leaves to ...
This highlight has been truncated due to consecutive passage length restrictions.
“There is a rot spreading throughout my domain, Saeris,”
I was very intrigued when I saw you, Saeris Fane. Not just you. Kingfisher, too.
When I focused and saw the strength of the bond that connected the two of you together, I admit I attempted to sway the fates.”
“You were supposed to have been born Fae, in the same realm as your Kingfisher. So I separated you. Hundreds of years before you were born,
But I watched as the boughs of the universe grew against their nature and aligned in such a way that you would still meet.
you and he would always collide. There was nothing I could do to stop it.”

It turned out she hadn’t been wrong after all. I should have been born Fae. The God of Chaos had simply interfered.
The energy the two of you draw together attracts an equal and opposite counterweight.
the moment you become mates, is a spark. The flame in the dark that draws the moth. It was incumbent upon me to try and stop that spark from taking place,
paths of this universe once you and Kingfisher met, and while I never found a balance that meant good prevailed, there were pathways that led into… uncertainty.”
IM GUNNA CRY
“Pathways that lead down roads, where both the way and the destination are blocked to even my sight.
“These oaths mark you as my ward. They protect both you and Fisher from the unwanted attentions of my brothers and my sister.”
They would prefer to weather the storm on the horizon and replant our tree once the slate has been wiped clean. I don’t want that to happen. It would break my daughters’ hearts.”
If you truly accept Fisher as your mate, then you must agree for the thread of your life to be severed from the tapestry of the universe.
We won’t be able to see you at all,
“You’re not responsible for anything. All you need do is live your life.”
“Do you want your mate to die?” “No, of course not!” “Then this is how you save him.”
