Rain of Shadows and Endings (The Legacy)

“I didn’t even get to bring my own clothing with me!” He waved his hand dismissively at the statement. “I have provided you with all the clothing you could ever need, and much better clothing at that.” “That is so not the point, Theon,” she spat. “Isn’t it?” he countered. “If you weren’t fighting so adamantly against your fate, you would see that I can provide you with everything you could ever need.” “You took me from everything I know, Theon. How can you not see that? My home. My friends. You stole my future from me.” Her fists were clenching and unclenching at her sides, her skin beginning to buzz with something that needed out. “You are wrong, Tessa,” Theon said, shaking his head. “Your home? You’d already left it. You would be at the Acropolis until the Selection Year was over, and then you’d go to your assigned Kingdom. Your friends? You likely would have been separated from them when you received your assignment. Even if you were assigned to the same Kingdom, the Kingdoms are huge. You would have still been separated from them. And your future? You are Fae. Your purpose was always to serve the Legacy in one way or another. How that purpose was just altered was likely in your favor.”
