THE LYCAN'S SACRIFICE, Fated To The Beast. Chapter 146
Kael’s PovEldric came to me on the fourth morning after his presentation on the Changeling crisis and I could tell from the way he walked that he had found something significant."Sit down," I said.He sat and put a folder of notes on the table between us. "I have been going through the oldest texts in the archive while researching the Void Court. Some of them describe the conditions that lead to divine children being born into the mortal world. The gods do not act directly. They cannot. But they can choose a vessel and mark it before birth and the child carries that mark into the world with them.""Like Luna," I said."Like Luna," he said. "But the texts suggest this does not happen in isolation. When the gods begin preparing for a major conflict they do not produce one champion. They produce several. They spread them across the territories that will be affected and each child carries a different aspect of divine power s

Elvanya’s PovIt started two days after she drove the Changeling out of the throne room.She said her first full sentence to Mira while I was down the hall and Mira came to find me looking like she had seen something she could not explain. I went back to the room and Luna was sitting up in the crib looking at me and she said "Mama I am hungry" in a voice that was still small but clear. Clear the way a three year old is clear not the way a ten month old is clear.I fed her and did not say anything about it.By the end of that week she was putting sentences together faster than I could track. Not babbling. Full thoughts connected properly with the right words in the right order. By the end of the second week she was asking questions that required answers I had to think about."Why do people fight," she asked me one morning while I was braiding her hair."Because they are afraid," I said. "Or because they want some

Elvanya’s PovEldric called us to the study room two days after the siege ended. He had the Changeling's remains in a sealed container on the table and a stack of notes beside it and he looked like he had not slept since we gave him permission to examine what was left of the thing.Kael and I sat down across from him and Lira stood near the door."Tell me what you found," Kael said.Eldric opened his notes. "I will start with what I can confirm and then move to what I believe but cannot fully prove yet." He looked at us both. "There are at least twelve more of them."The room was quiet."Twelve confirmed," he said. "Possibly more. What I examined from the remains contained a kind of record. Not a memory exactly but something like an imprint of connections. The Changelings do not communicate directly with each other but they are aware of each other in a general sense. Like knowing a door exists without being able to see through it. From what I could read from that imprint there are at

Kael’s PovThe assault slowed before I reached the northern gate again. Word travels through an army the way water moves through cracked stone and something had shifted in the Old Guard camp even before any formal news reached them. Warriors were pulling back from ladder positions on their own. Officers were standing still instead of relaying orders. The pressure we had been holding against all day went loose and then looser and by the time I reached the gate the fight was clearly ending.A white flag came out of the camp before the sun reached the horizon.Not the same rider as the parley. This was one of Harken's senior officers and he came forward alone and he had the look of a man walking out of somewhere dark into daylight and still adjusting to the difference."Lord Harken is requesting to speak with the king," he said. "He is asking for terms."I went to the gate.Harken came forward on foot and alone and

Kael’s PovI felt the wave from the throne room even standing at the northern gate a full district away. It came through the stone under my feet and through the air at the same time and every warrior near me went still for a breath like they were waiting for something they did not have a word for yet.Then the Changeling came out of the palace corridor entrance at the far end of the district and it was running.It was not running like Morgana. The angles were wrong and it was moving too fast for a human body and the face it had been wearing was not fully Morgana's face anymore. Something underneath was starting to show through at the edges. Something that had no human shape."Hold," I said and nobody moved.The Changeling hit the edge of the district and stopped hard. It hit something invisible and pulled back from it and then tried the same spot again and stopped again in the same place.Eldric was still standing in the ruined street. He looked like he had been through the hardest th

Elvanya’s PovI heard the street collapse from three floors up and I knew Eldric was still out there but I also knew from the sounds that the Changeling had gotten through. I grabbed Luna from the crib and told Mira to lock the door and I ran.The corridor was empty. Most of the guards had been pulled to the walls or to the street where Eldric was fighting and there was no one left in this part of the palace. I moved fast with Luna against my chest and her moon mark warm through my shirt.I needed somewhere to go. Going back to Mira's room made no sense because if the Changeling got past Eldric that was the first place it would look. I kept moving toward the far end of the corridor and took the staircase down to the lower hall.Between the first and second time I heard the palace sounds change I had maybe two minutes to move. I knew that and I moved as fast as I could while holding a nine month old baby and trying not to fall down a staircase. The lower corridor smelled like smoke fro

Elvanya's PovI was sitting in our chambers trying to read when Kael walked in looking tired and stressed."Come with me" he said "I want to show you something""Show me what" I asked and put down my book."You will see" he said and held out his hand.I took his hand and followed him through the pa

Elvanya's PovI woke up to Lira knocking on the door and calling my name."Come in" I said and sat up in bed.She walked in carrying a tray of tea and smiled at me."Kael said you need to learn about royal duties today" Lira said "so I am here to
