“Sir,” one of the Imperial Guards said to Sotomar. “The Winchester is here and wishes to speak to you.”

Sotomar frowned, “Emily is here, now?”

“Yes, Sir.”

“Let her in,” he said, and then smiled. The Valle were always pleased when Emily paid them a visit. They had heard she was ill and wanted to see for themselves how bad.

Emily limped in slowly. She was tired from the long drive and with half of her body no longer fully under her control, everything was tiring.

Sotomar watched her, too shocked to speak. It was immediately obvious to the heku that she was significantly weak on her left side and she looked pale and drawn.

“Emily…” Elder Ryan whispered.

Emily stopped in front of them and looked up at the enemy Council. She formed the words carefully in her mind and spoke slowly so they would understand, “I have a request of the Valle Council.”

Her slurred and distorted speech shocked the Valle Council, and it was a few moments before anyone could speak.

“What is it you ask?” Elder Randall asked.

She swallowed, “I want promised, by the Valle Council, that when I die… Chevalier and Kyle will be imprisoned until they are in their right minds and in control of their tempers.”

“Are you dying?” Sotomar gasped.

Emily nodded, “Yes, I think I am.”

“But you can heal.”

“Whatever is going on isn’t stopping. I can’t heal, and I’m so tired.”

“But…”

“I’m not afraid of death. The Equites have given me a wonderful life… but I’m afraid of how Chevalier and Kyle will react when the time comes, and I need you to help me protect them.”

“You cannot die…” Sotomar said, finding it hard to speak.

“I am, I’m sure of it. Please, promise me… grant me this one request.”

Elder Ryan took a deep breath to calm himself, “We cannot imprison two members of the Equites Council.”

“For me… forget about factions… forget about rank and Councils. Help me, please,” Emily said slowly.

“If you were to die,” Sotomar said, picking his words carefully. “It would not be our place to deny them vengeance. It’s our way.”

“I’m not asking to stop them from seeking revenge… I only ask that you stop it long enough for them to think clearly. I will leave my children without a mother. I cannot risk leaving them without a father, too.”

“This entire conversation is a moot point,” the Valle’s Chief Interrogator said. “You aren’t dying… you are immortal.”

Emily shook her head, “No, not immortal. Just not aging… I’m dying and I need someone to assure me that my children won’t be left alone.”

The Chief Investigator and Chief of Staff appeared beside Emily when she swayed slightly.

“Please, rest here,” Sotomar said softly. “We will discuss things when you feel better.”

She nodded. The drive to the Valle’s main city was exhausting and she wanted nothing more than to sleep.

While two of the Imperial Guards showed Emily to her room, Sotomar called the Equites Council.

“Zohn here.”

“It’s Sotomar, may I speak to Chevalier?”

“He’s busy. What can I do for you?”

“We really need to speak to him personally.
