“Hush.” I kissed him, reassuring him. “I know it’s not.” There were still tales around the household of the wonders that followed in his wake. But some of the feelings Oriel had shared with me made me question him now. “So, is it still as strong? Do you still feel the connection as keenly?” I’d heard plenty of reports of financial windfalls and swift recoveries from illness. The servant who’d broken his leg had also come to him and was now walking without a limp. I believe Oriel had even found the missing pet of one of my cousins’

children. But as time passed, I heard fewer tales of lives saved and children born—no real miracles like the ones when he first came to me.

Oriel sounded nervous. “No. It has grown weaker. I….

They do not ask as much of me, perhaps.”

“Or you don’t hear it. They can’t reach you as easily.” As selfishly.

Oriel stared at me, obviously trying to understand what I was suggesting. I wasn’t sure I knew myself. “You can’t stop it happening to me, Chariz.”

“I can try,” I protested, anger heating my words. “How might this power ever leave you, Oriel? How can we release you from it completely?”

“I don’t know,” he said, and his eyes flickered with sorrow or fear, I didn’t know which. He only ever looked distressed when we spoke of his strange servitude. “By death, obviously. Or I used to think I would just wear out like old clothing, fading like one of the bright household cloths in the high sun. Each time someone connects with me, it saps my energy.”
