Lyke-Wake
April 21, 2025 at 12:26 AM
The baby with the marked ear was dying.
Iridal had done all she could for the dark-haired boy. He was, it seemed, her last link to her own baby, and if - no, when - he died, Iridal felt that her own child, too, would forever be lost to her. And, at the same time, Sinistrad’s love.
Iridal’s tears fell continuously, but they did not hold the power to keep the son from the Middle Realm alive. With the salty drops that fell on the struggling body, Iridal’s life bled out of her. The iridiscent colours drained from her eyes, like a well going dry.
Sinistrad had won: her heart had gone dry beneath his cruel hands.
The baby died.
