“Chivaka’s eyes narrowed and she spoke confidently. “This is war,” she hissed. “Not murder.”
Isis leaned in close and matched her tone. “You don’t know anything about war.”
“Tell me about war, then,” Chivaka dared her in a taunting tone.
“I will,” Isis said, matter-of-fact, sitting down across from the girl, crossing her legs and folding her hands atop her knee as she began, drawing attention to some of the newer, still-pale scars on her brown skin.
“War is murder on the scale of nations. Revolution is murder in self-defense. Imperialist expansion is murder for profit. This is a blood feud between two families, two branches of one great family, and Nash can hold a grudge until the end of the world. Just because he’s rallied an army to his side doesn’t make him anything more than a crazed murderer who will not give up on making the world in his image, who will kill anyone who gets in his way. You don’t think he’s a murderer? Ask his family. Ask his brother. Ask his daughter, who still grieves for her human lover.” Isis leaned in close to hiss at the girl in front of her. “Ask his son. Ask Mahkai.”
