Resigning himself to his fate, Zoran took his seat as he prepared himself for the numerous strikes of lightning coming for his body. A brief second passed, and his punishment began once more. His eyes welled up as tears ran down his cheeks.

Then she blinked. "Wait… officer… did you say someone is MAKING these… these… things?"

He didn't wait for her to answer. "I have to tell you, Kalle, that it's possible that the man you married wasn't a man at all—and I know, I know that sounds crazy. But it's not!" he said frantically, his hand clawing through his hair again. "Look, I'm not here on official business, okay? I'm off the clock. My commanding officer doesn't even know I'm here because he's convinced this is just a lab screw up and… I mean, that's definite easier to swallow. What I'm thinking… I can't believe what I'm thinking! Who knows, maybe I'll wake up tomorrow and be embarrassed I even told you this but… but every time I dig deeper I find more, not less. And I'm telling you, there's something going on in this country. Someone is making these… things. And they're deadly and dangerous and somehow your Uncle is all hooked up in this."

Hollhye looked at Behryn again, that flicker of fear still in her eyes. "We will stay—for now," she added quickly when Reth's eyebrows popped up. "But I am not saying we stay forever! I… I think we stay until things are sorted out with the bears, and the people are more settled, and Elia's back on her feet, and your daughter is safe and… and then we go. When there's peace. I will… I will await that day eagerly," she said, the muscles of her jaw twitching.

And I can continue to help the healers and… it will just be time."

Behryn gave him a flat look. "It's been a rough few days, Reth. Forgive me if I'm not prancing myself. I don't have the benefit of almost dying to put things in perspective." Then Behryn's face dragged for the floor. "We almost lost you, both of you, Reth. I am… not recovered fully from that yet. I came because I wanted to be close by… just in case."

…And as sleep took him, something in his chest eased, a tiny knot of pain and tension lifted, blown away by the smiling breath of the Creator watching over them.

When he opened his mouth to protest, she used the opportunity to spoon a bitter liquid into his mouth, fighting a smile when he spluttered.

Fear lit in his belly—followed almost immediately by a flash of rage in his chest. Today? Now? This was the moment she thought she should tell him this?

Aymora snorted. "You already have, Reth," she said dryly. "You love. That is what will save your daughter from evil—even your own. Love is the greatest thing in this life."

She put a hand out for his arm, and pulled the bandage up to check underneath. "Healing," she said slowly, "But not as quickly as it should. You are greatly blessed, Daddy Reth."

"Promise me that no matter what comes… you'll stay mine. You aren't just my pair, Love. You're the other half of my soul."

"I believe we're not acquainted enough for you to be this close with me. I tried to tolerate you for some time since I didn't want to offend you for being the Princess of the kingdom who had been supporting us in this war, but that doesn't mean you have the right to do as you please with bugging people," Atlas insisted with a frown. "You're the Minister of War in Valcrez, so please act as your station and focus on your assigned duty in this camp."

Time passed, and Devon soon dismissed her. With her new task, Asura quickly went to the tower where Prince Leviticus was kept.
