Chapter Two Naul? I thought Id lost you, she told him breathlessly. I thought you were gone… The Seers closed rank before the tent as they approached. Shan pushed them aside without pause. He was all set to tear open the door, when something seized him, unseen, and unassailable. It coiled around him, held him there and for a moment, just a moment, he was back in the shadows, in the darkness. He sucked in a breath and he could hear her voice. She had arrived at the exhibition early to check the paint had dried from the previous day of reworking. The overhead beams glistened in the picture, the college not providing any form of flattering lighting. A cursory dab of her thumb found the new face of her subject completely dry. Satisfied, Samara had stood back to inspect the painting had been hung straight, and that her information pinned beside the piece was correct. Violet, says Rowan, quietly. He locks eyes with Sumaira. Explain it to me like Im an idiot. Explain like you would to a six-year-old child off his tits on Calpol. Yes. He struck her a blow to the face that sent her to the ground. The world turned red and black and light burst behind her eyes. She tried to pull herself up, to defend herself somehow, to do something, anything. She reached out for him, her hand shaking.

Samara raised her treasured implement. The blade remained hidden inside the steel handle, safely stored. Even under the canopies of night and leaf, the triangular blade glinted as it poked free, cutting the cold air. There isnt time. Her voice was suddenly very cold. My decision is made, Shan. Jeren dozed fitfully. Across the tent Laras breathing was deep and even now. Jeren wished sleep would claim her so easily, but the only person she had ever slept alongside was Shan and so every breath she heard just reminded her of his absence. She did her best to at least silence the sobs that came in the darkness, but she could do nothing about the tears. Her eyes had swollen, her throat felt raw. Shan was gone. Nothing mattered anymore. Doria shook where she stood. Then a sob rippled up through her body, breaking out at the same second as the tears burst from her eyes. She buried her face in her hands and wept.My babies. Oh, sweet Bright Lord, my babies are alive..
