Text

“I can feel this fear in your blood; hear it in your heartbeat”.

“She had to do something. She did not have gold or lands, or castles, or anything she could offer to him so that she could redeem this poor child. He was just a little boy. There was nothing that she could offer to this man.

The air burned her lungs in these icy mountains. The midday sun glided along the mountain ranges, freezing on the adamantine peaks of the rocky cliffs.

She did not know the true horror and fear before. All the nightmares that appeared to her at night could not be compared with such a horrible reality. The loud, horrific cries of children left to die in the mud in cold ground. Cassian told her once, how his people were dealing with the bastards. Some were thrown alive from the rocks, others were torn to pieces by the creatures living deep in dense forests, and someone were left on the ground without the limbs with blood splashing everywhere….

They cut off their fingers, and then chopped off their hands and feet, and then set fire to their wings¸ and the children burned alive in the fire.

In ancient times, the Illyrians chose the most powerful warrior among the clan and called him as their leader. They raised their swords to the glory of their new master, respecting the power of one warrior over their lives and families. Centuries have passed, and one family strengthened its power. It became so powerful that influence of one leader was indissoluble and unshakable. The head of the household was called as the war lord.

One clan absorbed another for the sake of lands, and after for the sake of more selfish reasons - power, influence, strength. Strength was everything for all of the Illyrians – the most solid foundation for achieving greater unity and solidarity among all the clans. Those clans were eager to destroy everybody and everything in its path. The leaders of these clans were hungry snakes, ready to devour their own kind.

She watched Kallon. Kallon with a smile of a jackal on his lips. Watched as this man piercing the boy’s back with a black dagger with a gold hilt. She heard as a cry of pain burned the air. Even cattle were slaughtered with less cruelty. Hot blood spattered his face while his boot rested on the back of the boy. He pressed the child to the ground, stopping him from moving. One man’s hand held tightly to the wing, and the other cut the wing from the back of the child. There was so much blood that the man’s dark camisole took on a deep crimson hue.

Nausea came up to her throat. She could barely stand. Her hands were trembling, her knees buckled. She looked at the tent, where all the war lords gathered, but not one of them moved while the warrior’s dagger cut the flesh of the child; not one of them attempted to stop Kallon, whose hands separating the flesh from the bones, the wing from the back. The Lord of the Night Court continued his conversation with the leader of one of the clans.

An emotion of disgust froze on Cassian’s face.

He had no right to interfere in the actions of one of the members of the ruling family. Cassian was the General of the Night Court, but for the ruling leaders of the Illyrian clans, he remained a bastard.

The fruit of sin.

The spawn.

She felt the tension rise immediately.

Women took their children to the tents. The soldiers silently watching the execution. Nesta was deafened by a terrible, exhausted scream.

Her legs moved instinctively. It was one those moments, when the body moves by itself in order to survive on the battlefield. And for her, Kallon became that rattlesnake. And she was going to chop off its head.

She attacked him with a cry, throwing him aside with the weight of her body. She knew the reason of this bloody scene. All of this was for Cassian. Cassian, who was an insignificant bastard. Cassian, who was the right hand of the Lord of the Night Court. Cassian, who was one of Illyria’s most powerful warriors in the history. Cassian, who was a miserable bastard unworthy of life.

“I’ll kill you!”

She screamed, tearing apart his leather uniforms with her strong, immortal fingers, ripping apart golden chains and sapphire stones decorating his expensive clothes. She tore the skin on her knuckles and her pale hands were in his dirty blood. She repeatedly punched the beautiful shape of his nose and strong jaw. And for the first time after her rebirth, she was grateful for the strength of her new body.

Excitement seethed and smoldered in her veins as she was tearing the skin on his chest with her fingernails, trying to reach his ribs and then rip out his poisoned heart. His hot blood coated her hands.

“Take this viper away from me!”

Several men grabbed her by the shoulders, and while she was trying to fend off their strong hands, she broke the jaw of one of them.

“Crap!” - Kallon hissed, spitting hot blood on the ground. “Bastard’s whore!”

Her mind was flooded with anger and pure rage. The flames raced through her body. She could not think, when she cried out words that pierced the air, like lightning.

“Duel,” - she screamed, trying to break free from the grip of the Illyrian warriors. “I demand a duel with the noble as the winner of the Blood Rite!”

His mouth curved, as if she’d said something funny. Kallon began to laugh hysterically. His smile bore a hint of mockery. And then again she saw that sparkle in his eyes. She had already seen this dark gleam in his eyes, when he first saw her with Cassian.

“Whore! You think that if you came out of the Blood Rite alive, you have the right to speak with me as an equal. Apparently your master did not teach how to keep your mouth shut in bed.

The wind stopped. Even the clouds seemed to freeze.

His tone a blade that whispered warning.

“Even if the elders give you a permission to fight with me, I have the right to reject the fight. After all, what will I get in return after accepting your challenge? You know the rules that both opponents have to offer something to the rival”.

She refused to look away. Death whispered in her ear.

“The life of this child, I want your warriors and your people! You will let them go. That is what I want and that is what I’m going to take from you.”

And when Kallon walked to stand less than a foot from her.

Nesta’s instincts were screaming at her to grab the knife in her boot, but she forced herself to stay in place. She wouldn’t crawl, not for anyone.

Kallon’s face changed, he came closer to her while his warriors held her hands, and then bowed her to the ground, until she was kneeled before him.

“My clan, my people, my lands. And what are you going to offer in return? You have nothing. You might be a nice plaything for one night, but I won’t bargain with you for my entire clan if it’s all what you can offer.”

He took her chin between his fingers. Cold knuckles running along her skin. She met his eyes, forced herself to hold her ground.

“Who told you that you have the right to be here and speak? Who told you that you have the right to look into my eyes? You walk among us, eat among us, sleep in our tents. We let the witch to walk among us, made her one of us,” he shouted to the crowd gathered around them.

“It is precisely because of such a vicious leader as the current High Lord of the Night Court. We allow strangers to dictate their rules into our lands. We allowed the bastard to become the General that leads our warriors on the battlefield. So many women and daughters are left alone. We are the greatest army, which is ready to establish its own rules on the lands of Prythian. Illyrians paid its debt to the Night Court from the day when the first clan led by Enalius set foot on this land. These lands, these mountains, these forests belong to Illyria. We spilled enough blood for the Night Court and its ruthless leaders!

Nesta lowered her head and said calmly.

“You are afraid of me”.

The men’s hands stilled on her shoulders, she felt their eyes focused on Kallon.

“I can feel this fear in your blood; hear it in your heartbeat”.

Open interest showed on his face.

“A poisonous viper, I had to chop off your head before you stepped on the lands of my clan before you open your filthy mouth.”

“That’s right,” she admitted, giving him a teasing grin. She tried to piss him off; she knew too well, how to get a rise out of him. “But the head of the viper spits poison even after it is chopped off.”

He stared at her back.

“She has the right to fight as a winner,” Devlon announced loudly, arms crossed over his strong chest.

Nesta did not dare to turn around. She only felt his eyes on her back. Cassian.

Kallon grinned viciously, and Devlon continued.

“If you think that this girl needs to be taught a lesson, then teach her properly. Show her then. Show everyone, what we should do with those, who dictate their rules to us”.

His eyes narrowed.

“This snake has nothing to offer me in return.”

Kallon turned around on the heels of his shiny, leather boots. These boots were soaked in the blood of a child, still trembling on the cold ground. His moans still echoing in her ears, still burning the air.

Nesta swallowed.

“I have something to offer you. And my offer will be the most profitable in your life! You have been expecting such an offer for so many decades. You will have a chance to revenge.”

Kallon turned around.

“And what are you ready to offer me?”

“Myself”.

He laughed, the sound full of dark, and then he took a deep breath.

“What for?”

She hissed, rising from her knees, despite the hands holding her.

“I am the one, who took the King’s life. I am the one, who survived in the ageless darkness and the one, who swallowed the darkness of the Cauldron, took it into my veins, into my blood. Steel became my body, and flame became my blood. To own me means to own the world”.

He grinned. His eyes gleamed, but all he said was:

“I don’t need Cassian’s whore.”

She had to make a decision. She would not have a second chance.

“I’m not his whore,” she shouted. “I’m his mate!”

Kallon’s expression held pure shock. His eyes froze on her face, in the depth of the seething rage of her silver-blue eyes. A wave of whispers swept along the ranks of the Illyrians.

“Such an appropriate lie,” he finally whispered.

“You don’t believe me, then, ask the Morrigan.”

She lifted her face to feel the full onslaught of the wind. It felt good on her skin. The sensation made her feel brave, fearless, and she has nothing left to lose by releasing this, by revealing the truth.

Nesta took more air into her lungs before screaming:

“Tell them Morrigan! Tell them all the truth! You are the one, who tells the truth and nothing but the truth. Tell them what you see! Tell them all, what kind of beast I am! Let them all see, who I am!”

She could imagine it. She could imagine the emotion of horror on Morrrigan’s face.

Then she heard the thunderous approach of his steps, the heat of his strength, burning the air around. Her breath caught in her throat. Kallon cast a glance at Cassian approaching them, saw something in his eyes. His own eyes light up.

The men removed their hands from her shoulders: they were a shackle around her upper arms, when they saw the promise of death in the eyes of the General of the Night Court.

She fought the urge to turn around. She fought the urge to see his face.

“You have to decide faster, Kallon,” she whispered, not looking back at Cassian. She could smell him; hear the beat of his heart.

Kallon looked into the eyes of the General of the Night Court, saw something on his face. And that was the moment, when he believed her. His lips curved upward in a feral smile, when he said:

“I accept your offer, Nesta Archeron”.
