Chapter Nineteen

“’TWAS YOU, THEN?” Marek frowned at the goddess, still processing her revelation despite it being somewhat implied on Ethyn and Ciara's adventure. “You recruited me into the Brotherhood in Ireland. Then you helped me do whatever it was I did in the end. That which you still willnae share.”

“That’s right on all counts,” Destiny replied. “At one time, I was allied with them.” She gave Chara an apologetic look. “I’m sorry I couldn’t tell you sooner, but I can only reveal things in bits or...”

“Or what?” Chara prompted when her friend trailed off and ground her jaw in frustration, as though tempted to say more. “Why can you only tell us things in pieces? And why...how were you affiliated with such darkness?”

“Let’s just say, though not at first, I was eventually undercover,” Destiny replied carefully, clearly gauging her every word. “I didn’t want what was going to take place to happen.”

Leviathan’s steady gaze on Destiny never faltered. “What do you mean, ‘at first?’”

“Just like it sounds, Viking.” She frowned at him. “At first, I supported the Brotherhood, then I did not.”

“Why would you to begin with, though?” Chara asked, clearly hurt. “Why would you want to be part of something so sinister?”

“Because I was angry.” Destiny shook her head. “Really, really angry.” She sighed. “Then I started watching you and your Fianna together...then I spoke with you both for the first time.” She swallowed hard. “After that, I knew I had to try to stop what was about to happen.”

“What did happen, Destiny?” Chara pleaded with her eyes. “Please, just tell us already.”

“I can’t.” Destiny shook her head, pained. “I’m so sorry, but I just can’t.” She sat beside Chara, took her hand, and looked at her with her heart in her eyes. “Pretty soon, you’ll know why and I hope you’ll forgive me. That you’ll understand.”

Though Chara was upset, Marek knew she was too kind a soul to be angry at Destiny when the goddess had been there for her through so much.

“I can’t imagine not forgiving you,” Chara murmured.

“Why did I dream of the first time I lay with Chara after seeing you?” Marek asked Destiny. “’Twas almost as if there were a design to it.”

“Meeting me for the first time triggered what will now come even swifter,” Destiny replied. “Like time closing in on itself. The past and future merging.” She looked between Marek and Chara. “Beyond your first kiss and laying together, something else happened in that bed of golden clovers. Something you’ll remember soon enough.”

“You mentioned a gem when we first met,” Chara said. “First, you said I should stay away from our rock at the Stonehenge. Then, if I couldn't stay away, to use the gem to write to my warrior. To remind him what needs to be done.” She frowned. “What did you mean by that? What gem?”

“You’ll know soon,” Destiny assured, remaining painfully vague. “When the time is right.”

“Follow the king that leads to a ring,” Marek murmured, repeating his tattooed words.
