"Clovis, I… I know what you want but I do not know if I can give it to you . " Kyera replied her voice filled with indecision . There was so much stress in her body that he couldn't help but reach out to stroke her side .
"Kyera, I want to be able to trust you completely, and have you trust me the same way . No more secrets, no buffering me from your emotions . Let your heart speak to mine . " Clovis replied watching her expression flicker through the confusing river inside her . He wanted so desperately to dive into that chaotic stream and pull her out . However, that was impossible no matter how bad he wished it wasn't .
Advertisement"I guess thats true . Clovis, the reason I have never mentioned that woman is I want her dead . If it wasn't for the promise I made to my brothers, I would have killed her when we met again . As far as I am concerned she's a homewrecker and a murderer . She left us and has the audacity to try and tell me our marriage is wrong . I men for crying out loud she bred with a GOD . " Kyera rambled off the words she wanted so desperately to say . The flood gates opened and her thoughts flooded out . Clovis waited patiently for the words to come then sat in shock as they did .
He knew she had continued speaking but his mind was stuck on what he had just heard . Her lips moved but that one word repeated in his mind . "Wait… your mother slept with a god?" Kyera stopped and looked at him slightly confused now . She had thought they covered that . Then again he had reacted quite calmly for him to have actually understood it .
"Yes, when my mother was sacrificed to the God of Death, he decided not to kill her . Instead he left a babe in her womb after each visit until he fulfilled his side of the deal . " Kyera explained laying down beside him . Clovis tried to process this, watching her movements as she did .
"Your mother made a deal with one of the Gods she met during the sacrifice?" he asked honestly just a little out of his depth . Kyera nodded smiling at him .
"My mother wanted a daughter, and no man to threaten her right to raise her children . Afterall she had been ripped from her mother's hands . So The Shadow King agreed to her request and my brother's were born first, and then me . The original angel of the deal . " Kyera laughed a bit closely at her self . "And yet I am alive and my brothers lay slain . "
"I see . You're literally a gift from the Shadow King . " Clovis smiled and wrapped a arm around her pulling her against his chest . Kyera tried to laugh but it turned to a somewhat broken sob .
"More like a curse . My mother left us, father can't be with us and my brother's were murdered . I fail to see how I am a gift of the divine . " Kyera replied tears on her cheeks . Clovis sighed kissing her forehead tenderly, letting her cry he caressed her hair .
"Kyera, you are a gift . Very few creatures could go through what you have and still be so kind . You are not bitter or cruel . You are nurturing and protective . Your a wife and a lover, but also a princess and a protector . Many would have been consumed by rage by now . Realize that and also realize you will never walk this road alone again . " he whispered soothingly, hoping she would listen . Her emotions were so rugged he could feel her power thrashing to control it .
"I just… . Don't know anymore . " she whispered and he nodded holding her in a full embrace now .
"Then its a good thing I do . Now, Misses Dancing Winds, it is time you fall asleep . I love you . " he whispered into her ear, before closing his own eyes to rest .
