Part Two

Kilig had counted forty turns of seasons when things changed in Godwalkar for everyone. It had been five years since the Guilds' war. Ramya had passed away and her house and shop had gone to a family who needed it more than Kilig and Hakeem, who had moved back into the Guild's building.

Kilig was still Guisarme's right arm and involved in administrative matters, and Hakeem wasn't an active member of the Guild: he helped the cook, the gardener, and even looked after the two children who now graced the Assassins' Guild.

Sanjana and Sabre, whose birth name turned out to be Sunil, had had two children: Rohini, named after Sunil's unlucky sister, who was now almost four, and Aditya, named after Nimdja since both felt he deserved to be remembered with his birth name, a toddler of two.

Having grown up with her aunt and being an only child, Sanjana had decided to keep them both at the Guild. Anelace and Sabre worked as a couple, to protect each other, and when they were on a mission, "Uncle Hakeem" took care of the children. And he seemed to be so good at it, that Kilig sometimes wondered if his beloved wanted to start a family of his own.

They were in the courtyard – Hakeem, Sanjana and Sabre playing with the children while Kilig observed them – when Rohini pointed at the sky.

"Look! Is that a demon?" she asked, pulling Hakeem's sleeve.

He squinted and covered his eyes.

"I think it's a Sila. He looks black because the sun is behind him," he explained to the little girl who was particularly fond of him.

Kilig rose to look for himself. The winged being was gliding towards the courtyard and when he touched down, Kilig noticed he had black hair and raven feathery wings, but pale skin.

"Are you sure he's not a demon?" he heard Rohini ask in a trembling voice.

"No, it's a Sila," Kilig answered absentmindedly. He hadn't seen many Sila with black wings.

"Is this the Assassins' Guild?" The Sila asked him, since he was the closest. "I'm looking for Sunshine, daughter of Nightsun."

Startled, Kilig hesitated, but Sanjana came forward with a smile.

"Yes, you're in the right place." She stopped next to Kilig and elbowed him. "Kilig will take you to her."

Of course, Guisarme! Kilig mentally slapped his forehead. He wasn't used to hearing Guisarme's Genn name.

"Follow me," he told the Sila, leading him to Guisarme's office.

"My name is Winged Erwan and your father asked me to inform you," the Sila told the half-Genn upon entering her office. "The Varian king is coming, led by Coldwinter, to be crowned emperor in Godwalkar. Since you lead the Assassins' Guild, it would be a good idea if you could come to the palace in two days to meet the new king and emperor."

"Oh." Guisarme exchanged a puzzled glance with Kilig. "What does the Varian king want this far south?"

"The Blackmore were defeated and he's overlord of the north. The Genn offered him their territory as well, since they're not very good at handling Humans.
