"I don't feel right," David said as they huddled in their latest snow cave, grateful for the fire provided by Sasha's magic.

"What do you mean?" Sasha asked, frowning in concern.

David shrugged. "Like something isn't right. Sort of like when a Sentinel freezes you with fear, but not as strong. But I've never felt a Sentinel before seeing it."

"As long as we've been traveling, we're probably close to another Great Sentinel," Sasha said, expression turning grim.

For the first time, Friedrich noticed that there was an accent to his words. How had he never noticed it? Probably because most of his visions of Sasha thus far had been full of violence and seen either through Sasha's eyes or the eyes of someone who wanted to capture or kill him.

The accent was educated, smooth and clipped, nothing at all like David's longer, rougher manner of speech, which was so common to most of Schatten. Every now and then Sasha said a word oddly, as though he'd learned it from a book. That made sense, however, with his being a foreigner.

"How are you going to kill it?"

"Dragons," Sasha said with a sigh. "Of all the gods, the Dragons of the Three Storms are the most powerful. They rule Kundou, but in some respects, they also rule the whole world. It's exhausting, but last time I hesitated to use them and nearly died. This time, I won't be that hesitant."

Eager curiosity rose up in David, and Friedrich wanted to smile at how earnest he was. How had someone so sweet and honest survived so long in Schatten? In Friedrich's experience, such qualities were killed early in childhood. Certainly his life had left him all hard edges and cynicism. "Teufel said the other gods tried to destroy us, wanted what was good for them but bad for their children."

"That is not true," Sasha said softly. "Always, the gods have loved their children. Their decisions might have been poor, but their love was constant. The problem was that we doubted it, and Licht played upon that doubt to achieve his own ends. He paid for his mistakes, but his shadow continues his work, creating a world controlled entirely by fate."

"I wonder how different Schatten will be when it's not like that anymore," David said.

Sasha smiled faintly and reached out to brush the back of his hand along David's cheek. The caress provoked an answering smile, shy and sweet, in David. He shifted to sit closer to Sasha, arm sliding around his waist, head resting against Sasha's shoulder.
