Chapter Nineteen

As always, Alainn could sense the mystical magic upon the air as Samhain drew near and it called to her. Its immense pull filled her with a deep need to employ her magic. Her skin tingled and her very soul pulsed with the level of magic within her, but she firmly resisted it. She had seldom seen Bulwark. He continued to leave a tray outside the door in the morning and evening, but she’d scarcely touched the food for she had no appetite and no desire to feed the being within her.

As the days had passed, whenever she would dwell upon the child, her powers surged. Although she couldn’t sense the demon as Danhoul had suggested, he would surely attempt to prevent the gods from doing harm to the evil child she carried. He would not simply allow the child to be killed. As time grew short, she almost expected him to appear before her and steal her away with him, perhaps to the realm of hopeless despair or even to the Unseelie Court. Bulwark adamantly insisted this location was protected from all forms of evil, and yet the being that grew inside her was undeniably evil, simply protected by the vessel of her body.

On the eve of Samhain, Lugh appeared with no warning.

“Young witch, Aine has sent me to inform you she will come for you on the morrow.”

She jumped when she saw him. “No more should I like to be thought of as a witch.”

“There are many different types of witches. You are nothing like Ebrill.”

“Dare to speak that name in my presence again and you’ll be the sorrier for it.”

“You’ll only allow the darkness within your soul to grow if you keep distanced from your husband.”

“Your wisdom is duly noted, but I have discerned, I’ll not force him to see me when he remains much opposed to the notion.”

“Perhaps in his damaged state he doesn’t know what is best for him. Sure it would be beneficial for the both of you to be reunited. You will both be stronger, your bodies and your souls, if you go to him.”

“I have a being as dark as Satan himself growing within me and it is perhaps not even a consideration the powers of the gods combined can see him gone. And if that be truth then there is little time to dwell on the state of my soul, for by this time tomorrow I shall surely live no more.”

“There is always time to see your soul filled with light.”

“Then tell me, Lugh, with your vast accumulated wisdom in all the millennia you’ve lived, if I should die on the morrow where will my eternal soul go; will it go to heaven to the beyond to be with my Christian god or, will it go to the realm of the Celtic gods?”

“That is never a certainty, it is not known till the moment the soul leaves the body.”

“But if I should die on the morrow would I be made to live this life again?”

“It is a possibility.
