Chapter 14

THEODON

When I’m sure the danger has passed for the time being and that everyone is alright, I excuse myself.

I need a moment. Or maybe more than just a moment. The information I’m supposed to accept without question is too much for me to process with everyone around. I escape to my room and slam the door shut behind me.

Willow is the daughter of Death. That I can kind of wrap my head around.

That Death came to pay his daughter a visit and could do so at any minute? Well, that I don’t know if I’ll be able to process. How could such an average looking person be the very thing that causes every normal instinct in my body to scream “run” or “hide?” Trying to keep my composure in front of such a powerful, and clearly upset, entity was almost more than I could stomach.

Have I ever been that scared?

Regardless, the fear I felt in his presence was lessened by the news he dropped on us: The Fae have not only crossed realms but destroyed them in their wake. And the Third Realm? The one we were taught crashed into this one and sent monsters into this world… We are the actual cause of the monsters. Hadn’t we just learned last night that by accessing all three realms, you could gain uncharted power? Why would the Fae be involved in that, and how long has this been going on?

How am I just learning about this now?

Wouldn’t my father have known about this? Why wouldn’t this information have been passed down to me? Who else knows the potential truth of how we came to be here? The Brotherhood most likely. Why else create an organization of Fae to cross over and explore this new world, while making sure no one else learns of it? Keeping the Third Realm a secret from the rest of the world would give the Fae an advantage if those in power wanted to reap the energy or magic in the world for themselves. But… that can’t be right, can it?

Did I give up my life simply to help harvest energy and supply magic to power hungry individuals?

I recoil from the idea. The Brotherhood was created for good. Not evil. There could be those with despicable agendas using a few Ghosts here and there to do their bidding, but to think the entire organization could be corrupt… It’s unfathomable.

My stomach roils.

I brace one hand against the wall and lean forward, struggling to breathe deeply. My sacrifices can’t have been for nothing. I can’t begin to think I was used. And what of Viktor and Kwil? They too made sacrifices to be here.

My hand slides down the wall as I kneel down onto one knee.

I don’t know how long I remain like this. When the daylight begins to wane, I still don’t move. I’m so lost in thought I don’t hear the door open. Or shut. I don’t even realize I have company until Willow sits down beside me, facing my direction, and leans her back up against the wall.
