MINE BEFORE THE BLOOD MOON
You are not my descendant.
Terror gripped me. "What are you saying?" The Queen looked heartbroken. "I am you." The ground vanished beneath my feet and my mind refused to accept it, refused to understand, but the truth continued. "My soul was divided." Tears filled her eyes. "Scattered through time." The impossible suddenly made terrible sense. The visions, the powers, the mark, the Hollow Kings recognizing me. Not descendant. Queen. Because they weren't looking at a descendant. They were looking at her, reborn.
