“Do you have any news about Lasania? Have you heard anything about them?” Delicate brows furrowed. “You speak of the kingdom that makes me think of tasty, layered noodles and cheese?” “It’s not pronounced—”

“I’m not that worried about Nektas,” Kyn replied, taking a drink. Unable to stop myself, I laughed. Kyn lowered his glass. “Did I make a joke?” “It sounded like one to me,” I replied. “No one in their right mind wouldn’t be worried about Nektas.”

“I…I didn’t know he had removed the last embers from himself. If I had—” “If you had, you wouldn’t have…what? Killed him by accident?” A heavy breath shuddered from Kolis. “I…I didn’t mean to.” His eyes were so wide, so full of gold, that for a moment he didn’t look like the false King of Gods, but a man who had made many mistakes. “Because how could he love me?”

“I don’t think you understand what the word argue means.” “I don’t think you understand what it—” “He bit you!” Ash roared, causing my body to jolt as the shadow wings slammed down onto the floor, shaking the entire chamber. I sucked in a sharp breath, resisting the urge to touch my neck. “He didn’t. I stopped him this—” I stopped myself before I said more and made things worse. “I stopped him.” “This time?” Ash’s voice dropped to a whisper of such cold death that even I shivered. “That is what you meant to say.” “No.” “Do not lie to me.” “I’m not lying,” I lied. Shadows spread up his throat, ...more

“He is coming—” The center of my chest lit up as Ash tensed beside me. “I think he’s already here.” Elias sighed. “Of course, I’m already here,” came the Primal’s voice from outside.

“Which direction?” “West.” “West?” I looked left and then right before turning my stare to him. “Do I look like a compass?” His lips twitched. “This way, liessa.”

“Please,” he pleaded. “Fucking Fates, I can’t lose you. I can’t…I love you. I do. Fates, I do. I fucking love you. How can I not? How can this not be love?” He screamed to the elms, or at least I thought he did. I wasn’t sure if it was him or if it only came from my mind. “I love you, even if I cannot. I’m in love with you.” Then I wasn’t there. I wasn’t anywhere but in death… I love you. Death wasn’t silent. Or peaceful. It sounded full of feral rage. I love you, even if I cannot. Death was a roar of fury and agony, the sound of a soul shattering. Of a heart breaking. I’m in love with you.

“Sera?” came a ragged whisper. His whisper. The Asher. I knew that voice. I’d heard it in the darkness, hadn’t I? The One who is Blessed. The Guardian of Souls. The Primal God of Common Men and Endings. The End to my Beginning. My eyes flew open, fixing on the night sky—the stars and the moon. “Sera,” he gasped. That name. That name. That name.

But even when it began to feel like a chore one had to force themselves to complete, life was still worth living. Even when it was unfair and heartbreaking, dark and full of the unknown, life was still worth living. Because rewards could be found among the chores. Little pieces of enjoyment that would come to mean something. Darkness always gave way to the light if given time, and while some heartbreaks may never completely heal, living allowed there to be space for new sources of happiness and pleasure. Life was worth living even when it was full of unfairness and injustice. When the heart ...more

I grasped the back of his neck, my heart aching at where I suspected this was headed—the story of what he’d done to himself. I wished more than anything that my suspicions weren’t true because if I was right,
