    Summary

    Rook can swing a hammer with the force to break an ogre's skull. She can send Antaam fighters to the ground with a well-timed bash from her shield. She is strong, and quick for her size, and she's gotten much better, in the past months, at reading a battlefield. At figuring out where best to position herself in relation to her enemies and allies. She's good at killing, when people need to be killed.

    She has no idea how to fight someone powerful enough to drag a moon through space. She has no idea if it can be done at all.

    The gods are making their move. Rook just wants to find some comfort with Emmrich before she faces them, but he has other things on his mind.

    Summary

    In hindsight, he should’ve expected this.

    In hindsight, he knows, he shouldn’t be surprised.

    And still, when he wakes up on the Endeavor, his mother is the first person he cries out for, every time.

    I love you.

    My darling Ambrose, I love you.

    (or; ambrose breaks the cycle.)

    Summary

    A familiar shame radiates through Rook's body, tangling with the embarrassment already taking hold. She feels frozen in place for a moment, but when Emmrich tries again to explain to Taash exactly how much he isn't interested in her, the shame propels her to her feet and away from him, swiftly climbing the stairs opposite from where they're standing.

    "Rook," Emmrich calls after her, his brow furrowed. "I haven't finished. You're still in pain."

    She pauses, just below the top of the stairs. She can't meet his eye; her focus instead is on his hands, now resting on the back of the chair she'd just vacated. "I know how to deal with pain, Emmrich," she says, flatly. "It's fine."

     

    Rook is used to not being wanted; it isn't surprising when Emmrich makes it clear he isn't interested, but it still hurts.
    Emmrich has a misunderstanding he desperately needs to clear up.

    Summary

    After all Elise has been through these past six months – the gain and loss of a friend, a ritual ended but a new threat unleashed, the destruction of Minrathous – nothing could prepare her for the handful of a letters presented to her by her friend, Bellara. “Shit,” Elise breathes out, re-reading the top most letter in her hands. The crest of the Mourn Watch leapt from the letter, a finely written signature beneath it. Bellara's Fade expert recommendation came like a slap to the face, though she didn’t know it.

    Summary

    The first word Emmrich learnt to read was Johanna.

    His eyes followed the sharp edges of each letter, cutting across his right wrist, staking some wordless claim, the ink as dark as blood. Each edge was distinct from the other, downward strokes hard and impressive, straightforward. Emmrich traced each letter — wrote it out, charcoal on paper, on leaves, fingers in the dirt, until they were identical to his skin, until he knew Johanna by heart.

    Then a second name came after, months later, much more surprising than the first.

    On his left wrist, all curving swirls, rounded letters, and sweeping lines, much more difficult for his young eyes to follow. The H molded into the A, pressed even closer to the N, as if written in a hurry, ink so light, the word untethered to its writer. Mummy had to help him decipher it, holding him close, her long dark hair plaited, the tips of it tickling his nose. She laughed, bright and tinkling — “Your soulmate has terrible handwriting, my love,” — before settling on Thana. Death.

    Or, one Emmrich Volkarin, bearer of two soul marks, and a lifetime's exploration of the different faces of love and heartbreak.
