THE LYCAN'S SACRIFICE, Fated To The Beast. Chapter 148
Kael’s PovWe spent two days trying to find another way.Eldric worked through every detection method he had and came back to the same answer each time. Blessed objects could sense divine energy traces but could not identify a Changeling from a distance with certainty. There were tests that worked under controlled conditions but none of them scaled to a palace full of staff and advisors without tipping off the Changelings we were looking for.The only reliable method was Luna.She had sensed Marcus before any of us did. She had sensed the first Changeling in the throne room before it revealed itself. Her divine power responded to what Changelings were in a way nothing else could replicate and Eldric believed it was because divine energy and Void energy were fundamentally incompatible and she felt that incompatibility the way you feel a wrong note in a song.Elvanya sat with me the night before we started."She s

Elvanya’s PovIt was a routine advisory meeting and I would not have noticed anything if Luna had not been in the room.Kael had started bringing her to some of the smaller meetings because Eldric said her presence made it easier to read the room and because Luna herself seemed to want to understand what governing looked like. She sat in my lap and looked at things with her too-old eyes and mostly stayed quiet.Marcus was three seats down from Kael and he was talking about trade route recovery now that the siege damage was being addressed. He was calm and clear the way he always was. Marcus had been on the council for six years and he had a reputation for being the most level-headed voice in any room.I was half listening to him and half watching Luna and that was when I noticed it.Luna was looking at Marcus. She did that with everyone in a room. She looked at each person with the careful attention of someone reading some

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 PovLira reached me just before dawn and I knew something was terribly wrong the moment I saw her face. She had ridden hard and her horse was breathing heavy but she barely slowed down before jumping off."You need to come right now" she said. "It is Elvanya.""What happened" I demanded. I w

Kael's Pov When I got to the palace, I went straight to check on Eldric. He was in the healing wing covered in bandages from the burns the dark mage had given him but he was sitting up in bed surrounded by open books and loose papers.

Kael’s Pov"The queen's condition is getting worse" Matilda said. Her voice was strained and I could see exhaustion in every line of her face. "The baby's heartbeat is becoming irregular. We might not have as much time as I thought we would.""How long" I asked. My thr
