“Ye must go,” Eliza admonished in a quiet voice barely above a whisper. “Ye know in yer heart yer the one of which the riddle speaks. A time runner. A healer. An artist able to see beauty where none exists and bring it into creation. Ye know how ye always said ye saw yer dragons hiding in the blocks of clay? Ye always said ye merely released them.”

Mairi shifted her attention back to Ronan, willing him to hurt with the same excruciating pain currently breaking her heart in two. “Why did the witch curse you?”

Ronan lifted his chin just a bit, nervously shifting in place as though standing trial. And in her opinion he was—the one stark difference being that she’d already condemned him. “The witch was my father’s queen. His wife.” Pulling in a deep breath, he stood straighter, clasping his hands to his back as he continued, “But she was barren, so my father sought an heir from his beloved leman. My mother was his mistress.”

“So the jealous witch put a curse of immortality on you, your mother, and your best friend? That’s it?” Mairi studied Ronan closely. If the jilted queen was pissed enough to stir up a curse, surely she would’ve been a little more creative. “You’ll have to forgive me”—Mairi poured every ounce of sarcasm she could muster into both her stance and her words—“but immortality just doesn’t seem that dire a punishment for your father being unfaithful.”

Ronan’s rigid posture visibly wilted a notch, his gaze dropping to the floor. “She cursed my father to die before I was born—forbidding him to see the son he’d wanted so badly. She cursed my mother, my friend, and myself to walk through immortality alone. ’Tis no small thing to watch all that ye cherish age and die before yer eyes—and to know in yer heart that yer loved ones have gone where ye canna follow.”
