The Grotto
Disaster has struck!
|
I hear whispers that Kiska is back around the grotto but I haven't come face to face with her yet and I don't know if I want to. I know my heart still beats for her even though it's been broken time and again and my soul is still busted beyond repair after Natalya's death. I know losing them was my fault and maybe I should have made a choice sooner and stuck to it but maybe I was just cursed to end up alone all along. Born alone, die alone. That's an assassin's creed, right? My thoughts have turned to Heyel more and more as of late, a tickling at the back of my throat and a sense of urgency like I should be somewhere. I've paced the dark caverns that I call home time and again, trying to sense where I'm supposed to be but I can't track him, I can't figure out where to go. And then one day I started hearing his voice and seeing him in my day to day travels and it all made sense. Heyel has found his end and I know it wasn't natural causes. I know his family did this to him, the ones who call us weak for being older. I remember the way Eden looked at me the day I was exiled, the day he was going to help Stella take me out right then for attacking Calliel. I know he would have tracked me down and killed me a long time ago. So he went after Heyel instead. But Heyel tells me Eden didn't give the killing blow. He thinks Edenhas a soft spot for him because he found out he's his dad. It turns out Solaris, the great advisor to Coszcotl himself of Taviora is the one who tasted his grandfather's blood. Interesting twist. At least that's what I told Heyel. We laughed about it all day almost. Heyel walks beside me now, trying to give me hair care tips even though he knows I'm only half listening. I call him an old bat and he has the gale to look offended but then he points out another bug and starts going on about my hygiene habits in this cave. Subject averted.
