Chapter Six

One month later, she had arrested two Aruda and killed one. She had never been so glad to see the stone walls of home.

The path through the fields skimmed under her feet as she rushed to the rear entrance of the abbey and raced through the halls. She burst into the square and froze at the image in front of her.

The standard monks and acolytes were there, but so was Muraz. He was piling autumn vegetables with one of the acolytes and he was laughing.

Lieta let her power run under her skin, and it was only when a startled Specialist Valuu saw her that anyone noticed she was there.

Valuu must have seen something in her eyes, because she approached with her hands out in a calming pose. “Easy, Lieta. He is here as part of his probation. He was offered the chance to meet Mother and Father and learn from them. Muraz is safe to be around now.”

Muraz was looking at her with cautious eyes. They were a beautiful dark amethyst and he had thick dark lashes. His features were just as beautiful as they were the first time she had seen him, though his clothing was the modest robe of an acolyte of the Aruda Abbey.

She blinked and punched him in the jaw a moment before she snapped her knee up.

Sister Esrai put her hand on Lieta’s arm. “Mother and Father want to see both of you.”

Lieta looked at the man kneeling on the ground with tears in his eyes. “Get up, Muraz. Time to take a meeting.”

He grunted and she helped him to his feet. “I suppose I deserved that.”

“You did. I liked that gown. I only had three.” She shrugged and walked with him to the chapel.

“You really grew up here?”

“Yes. I was one day old and found at the gates by Brother Eycar. He passed away ten years ago, but he named me the day that he found me by the gates.”

“What happened to your parents?”

“My father was killed, but my mother…I need to ask Mother and Father something.” Lieta had a reason for her tension. She had been eager to get some answers the moment that she
