Hitomi looked over. She was talking to Jak and doing what ever married couples do to pass the time. She of course was smiling and kissing on him as Kaze had walked in. Her face went from bright and happy to sudden fear. Something had happened, it was mother's intuition.
Kaze saw them and a lump instantly formed in her throat and clotted it. The nights events had rang true. Wolvie had won his battle with Wrath only to find she was several steps ahead of them. She had cursed the day her silver eyes had read that spell so many mellina ago. Gabe's words played to Wrath's advantage, the order had made a pelting blow. Not only had they won over the Angel of Darkness, but they had gained another few prizes. Wrath had stated that a prize was won from both her fight and from other arguments that had taken place. They would soon come to regret letting her have them as well. Then there was the reason she had come...
Her heart had broken, Namaris had been destroyed by the news, in fact the boy had suffered the most. Another one of Wrath's games well played.Her gut curled, her throat loosened. Her voice quivered as she bit back the stinging tears in her eyes," Gabe... confessed... Naria... is..." She couldn't think of any other word," Dead..." Then she broke, her tears poured out and proved her words were true.
Beautiful Naria did as any heard broken woman would have done. With pain so great, with a broken soul, she suffered and shifted to her father's form. She imbraced the only thing that would in the end ease her suffering. She took an offer from the one person she ought not to of. Mary Read, Wrath's second, had followed as instructed. She turned Naria as soon as Naria accepted. Wrath showed her steps in that matter, she knew Naria would do anything to have eased the heart shattering pain. Once turned the mark of the Order burned into the ground below her in the market place. Wrath had taken blame not Mary. However the bond that Naria and Namaris shared was shattered, together they were strong, but parted Namaris was lost.
There was another flash of silver lightning and the Beloved mother fell to her knees. Screams of her grief filled the haven, the Quency was sure to crumble as the reality of her daughter's loss.
