A Queen Among Tempests Light At The End of the Tunnel Pt 4 - Orenda
Agreeing to disagree is just a lazy way to end a conflict, but without the benefit of a resolution. I may as well have said I’d rather be right than find a compromise. Have I always been this stubborn, or does Azadou just bring it out in me? Once Aya and I sort things out I will ask him.“You’re right…I’m sorry,” I breathe out, feeling contrite.“You…really?” he mumbles, looking caught off guard.I nod slowly. “I tried to kill the conversation instead of finding a compromise or explaining my feelings. I’m sorry,” I humbly apologise.He quirks his eyebrow suspiciously. “Just like that?”“You explained why you said what you said, and your explanation made me realise that I was wrong, so I’m apologising,” I articulate for him.“I can’t believe Jartre was right…” he whispers incredulously to himself, looking off in thought.“Right about what?” I ask curiously.He shakes his head, turning his attention back to me. “Nothing. Forget about it. I’d like you to explain why you’re taking on blam

His confession has my mind spinning and my stomach twisted in knots. Even without a bond between us, my essram still aches painfully to hear him confirm what I suspected. To hear him confess that he wanted to hurt me…“Zarseti finally explained it, and maybe it was because I was so broken, but I was finally able to take in what she had to say…which only made the suffering worse,” he admits glumly, his eyes filled with regret, pain and sorrow. “I spent every minute of every day reliving everything I had done to you and hating myself more with each recollection. You showed me nothing but kindness time and time again, and I repaid you with derision and maltreatment. The day we first met, you took a stand against the Gods and your own maker for me,” he recalls with awe. “Despite everything, you stood there defending and shielding me…no one had ever done that for me before,” he utters desolately.My heart clenches to see him so vulnerable, sitting next to me, stripping himself bare for the

I hear a chair scraping against the wooden floor and glance to my right, seeing Azadou sliding a chair towards the bed and taking a seat.“Still too kind for your own good,” he muses, shaking his head.“What?” I choke in confusion, my throat constricted by the tears I continue to shed.“He hurt your feelings, yet you feel bad for hurting his, even though you were just expressing how you felt about a trauma you endured,” he observes, his brows furrowed in bafflement.“So because I’m hurting, I should want to hurt him?” I ask, affronted by the notion.“I didn’t say that,” he carefully points out. He sighs and rests his elbows on his knees as he appears to gather his thoughts before eventually speaking again. “I have never claimed to be moral or virtuous, but I know what those things are. From what I’ve witnessed since my return, very few people care whether or not they hurt someone. I had noticed the nuances of malice but hadn’t truly appreciated them until now.”“What does that have to

“Thousands of years of protecting the people of this Earth, but I couldn’t even protect myself,” I sigh despondently. “Some guardian I am,” I snort.Aya furiously shakes his head, squeezing my hand as his arm around my shoulders holds me tighter. “Orenda, you survived. So many people would have given up and taken the easy way out, but you didn’t. You stayed strong and survived, and because of that, you’re here right now. I’m so proud of you for not giving up,” he commends, kissing my temple tenderly.I take an uneasy breath and I rub soothing circles against my belly. He’s praising me for not giving up when the truth is I did. It feels like he’s applauding a fraud.“You don’t agree,” Azadou’s deep voice – like rumbling thunder – observes, making my head shoot up.I still can’t comprehend that Azadou helped to save me or that he’s still here. It’s been two days since they brought me home, and he still hasn’t left. Even more shocking is that Aya hasn’t attempted to kick him out once, h

I step out into the hallway and wait for Jartre to join me. He steps out, closes the door behind him and looks at me with that same paternal look he gave Orenda, making me suppress a sneer.“If you’re about to lecture me, I don’t have the energy for it,” I forewarn.He responds with a brief, half-hearted smile as he shakes his head. “Orenda is alive right now because of you, if anything, I want to thank you.”I raise an incredulous brow. “Thank me? She nearly died because of me,” I remind him. How fucking stupid is he?“So…you don’t want me to lecture you, but you don’t want me to thank you either,” he ventures. “Are you trying to put me in a precarious position or are your emotions in that great a conflict with one another?” he gages thoughtfully.My nostrils flare and my mouth sets into a hard line. “What the fuck do you want me to say?”Jartre takes a deep breath and scrubs his hands down his face. “Azadou…” he begins. “I’ve been where you are. Not exactly the same,” he clarifies b

Appearing in Orenda’s bedroom with Ayawamat, I lay her on the bed with cautious movements, listening for the faintest sound of pain or distress, but still she remains silent. Now that I have an unobstructed view of her face I see the swollen bruise forming on her right cheek. My mind races, painting vivid and nightmarish pictures of what Orenda endured for the past month to have caused her to be in the state she’s in now. I step back and let Ayawamat tend to her but continue to allow the energy of my essram to radiate around me. I can’t tell if it’s helping Orenda, but I know it’s at least helping the baby. There was a sense of desperation coming from it that has now subsided somewhat. It wasn’t like a thought or an emotion but more of a primal survival instinct.I watch, feeling helpless as Ayawamat kneels on the floor, assessing Orenda and covering her with blankets with a focused look ingrained on his face. I’m unsure of what to say or do. I feel compelled to stay but I also feel l

Something forceful shakes my body, pulling me from my slumber and sending shockwaves of pain through every nerve in my body.“You are not ruining everything I have worked so hard on,” I hear Invidia’s voice angrily hiss close to my ear.I struggle to open my eyes, only managing to catch glimpses of her through blurry slits. I see the dreaded syringe in her hand and begin to scream internally, pleading with my body to do something, anything. My vision repeatedly fades between darkness and Invidia’s small frame hovering over me as I struggle to keep my eyes open even a fraction. I can feel the life leaving my body bit by bit like water going down a drain. I want to scream, I want to cry, but I don’t even have the energy to produce tears anymore.The despair strangles me like a noose around my neck as I watch Invidia lift my shirt, ready to jam another needle inside me. Her eyes turn obsidian, her golden pupils glinting at me with disgust when suddenly a soft lilac-blue stone hanging aro

“Wh…what do you mean you can’t grant me a wish?!” Ayawamat stammers in confusion.Tituba sighs sympathetically. “Don’t you remember? You accidentally triggered a wish two centuries ago and I had no choice but to grant it.”Ayawamat’s face scrunches up as he thinks hard, followed by a look of realisation that confirms Tituba’s words to be the truth.“Fuck!” he shouts, clutching his head. “You’re right. I remember Orenda and I came to spend time with you; we were drinking, and I stupidly tripped and fell right into you,” he sighs lamentably.She nods solemnly. “I’m sorry, Aya. I really do want to help you, but you know I can only grant one wish per person,” she gently clarifies.“Then grant me the wish,” I instruct, walking over to them.Their heads snap to me as they both look taken aback.“I’ve never granted the wish of a God before…” she muses warily. “But if it will help find Orenda, I am more than willing to try,” she declares confidently, extending her hand to me.As I reach for he

With Ayawamat at my side, we appear on a cliffside high atop a mountain, standing at the entrance of some cave. The cliffside has a scenic view of the surrounding forest; a sea of lush colour that stretches on for miles until it reaches the ocean on the horizon.Orenda would love this view.I’m startled by the sudden thought that infiltrated my mind. Why did I just think that? How the fuck would I know what Orenda loves? I don’t know her any more than I know myself, and I’ve come to realise I am still a stranger to myself. I shake away the unruly thought and focus back on the cave, becoming aware of the magic exuding from within.“How exactly can this cave help find your sister?” I question sceptically.Ayawamat rolls his eyes and steps inside. I heave a sigh and follow in behind him. He raises his hand in the air and summons an electric charge to his hand, using its energy as a light source to guide his path.“This cave is home to a visum named Tituba. She has lived here in isolation
