Chapter 17

Orergon

Orergon wasn’t sure how he felt about this. The place defied all concept of reality, but it wasn’t the impossible way space seemed to not follow the rules of the rest of the world, or how they were in the middle of the island, beneath the rock, and yet the sun appeared to be shining down on them, even though he was sure dusk had fallen outside.

The darkness inside him rose and coiled, but he pushed it back down. It recognized something in the Seer. Though she looked like a young girl, however strange the white orbs of her eyes were, the death he’d experienced surrounded her, too.

That didn’t mean they couldn’t trust her, however. He had death inside him, too, and he believed himself still trustworthy.

But more than anything else in his life, he wanted to protect Dela. He knew she’d argue that she didn’t need protecting, but he didn’t intend to let her know that was what he was doing. Mentally, he promised himself that he would stay by her side, no matter what. He’d throw himself in the face of danger and give up his life for her if it meant she was safe. Everyone was talking about the future of Xantearos, but he wasn’t sure he even cared anymore. She was all that mattered, and Orergon had never felt this way about anyone other than his wife and son. And that frightened him. He’d experienced that pain of loss before, and he wasn’t sure he was strong enough to do it again if something happened to Dela. The memory of how her lips had felt when he kissed her, and how her slender body had pressed against his, remained on his mind, haunting his thoughts. He wanted that again, but he wasn’t stupid. He saw how both Warsgra and Vehel looked at her, too. They were all in this together, and he’d never be able to take her from Warsgra and Vehel as well. Besides, the Seer had said they were all to rule together. The four of them.

Orergon took a little comfort in her words. If they were destined to rule, didn’t that mean they would all survive, including Dela? Or were the things the Seer saw subject to change?

The Seer gestured around with her petite hand. “You may sleep in the beds in another small cave over there, and you may wash beneath the waterfall, if you wish. Use this time to grow in strength and recuperate. When the time comes for you to go to Anthoinia, you may not find peace again for some time.”

Orergon remained closed-lipped, and he sensed Dela glance at him in concern. He knew he’d been quiet since the Seer had recognized the death he carried inside him. He didn’t know what he was supposed to do about it. She hadn’t given him a straight answer. But he felt as though he were carrying a disease around with him, hidden away in the core of himself, and he wasn’t sure how he was supposed to deal with it.
