The years flowed, and at first
,
I thought I would gain knowledge. I watched Cassava, watched her manipulate the world from her varied hiding spots. I watched Raven as he went back to the blonde Romanian witch, Cassandra, over and over. Watched in horror when I realized she was pregnant with Raven’s child, a child she wanted, then watched as she died in labor.

Watched as he gave the child away to be raised as a human.

Watched as the enormity of Cassava’s plans made themselves known. As I saw that all she’d done . . . had been . . . mother goddess, it had been for the best. I understood now the pain she’d caused. Why she’d done it all.

And then one day, it was too much truth for me.

And I forgot who I was, forgot I had been a man. I knew only the commands of my master and the love for one woman who could save me. But she’d forgotten me, she’d left me without thought. She would love another now.

There would be no escape for me.

Yet still . . . a thread of hope through the years pulled me forward as I watched the world pass me by . . . and I was sent to Raven. In the Eyrie, he called to me, and I dove to his arm.

And I saw her.

The eyes I loved.

The soul I’d hoped for.

The woman who held my salvation in her hands.
