21 " But shutting out the world—pretending it wasn’t there—never solved anything. "

22 " A few chimes ago, however, the screams had fallen mysteriously silent.

“Do you think the torture masters have tired themselves out?” Gaelen pondered with black humor.

“More likely, we’re next, and they’ve just gone to sharpen their blades,” Tajik said.

Locked up in the room with them, Farel gave a grunting laugh of amusement. “Could be. They’ve been using them enough.”

“You know,” Gil announced, “as rescues go, I have to say, this one pretty much scorches rultshart turds.”

About a man length from the source of Gil’s voice came Rijonn’s rumbling agreement. “Tairen turds.”

“I told you,” Gaelen said, “I had backups. I don’t know what happened to them.”

A metallic scraping sound came from the direction of the door, and they all fell silent. The scraping sound was followed by the distinctive click of the latch lifting free. The door swung inward, and a sliver of light—the first in bells—spilled into the cell, widening rapidly as the door opened more fully. Two armored silhouettes stood in the doorway.

“Well, aren’t you a sorry sight,” a familiar Fey voice drawled.

“Kieran?” Gaelen sat up straight. There wasn’t much in life that could surprise him, but the appearance of Kieran vel Solande in the heart of Boura Fell definitely did. “What are you doing here? “

“Apparently, uncle, I’m saving you from a very nasty demise, though gods know, I’m sure it won’t take me long to regret it.”

Gaelen grinned, too pleased to take offense at his nephew’s cheek.

“Well, it took you long enough,” Bel groused, holding up his hands as Kiel ran over with a key to unlock his sel’dor manacles. “I was starting to get worried.”

Gaelen turned on Bel in disbelief. “You knew they were coming? “

Bel arched a brow. “You think the High Mage is the only one who plans backups for his backups?” Rijonn laughed, slow and deep. "

23 " Come fly with me my love

Spread your wings with glee

Into the skies above

Together we will fly free

Come fly with me my mate

The one that fills my heart

Together passion we will sate

And never will we part "

24 " What will emerge from this paused emptiness?

What emotions will spark? Which hopes ignite

And burst like fire weaves from nothingness

A fierce blooming in the desperate night.

Quick bursting light, souls reaching in the dark

Where love can take form, unfurl wings, be born

And burn like the stars, silver, spare and stark

Or fail to fly, crash, lie bloody and torn

Lie broken, forlorn, or take wing, fly free

Explode in to life, with Tairen roar

Rending the air. Rending her. Rending me.

To leave us gasping, stunned, searching for more

Forged, anvilled, hammered, tempered, together,

True mated. Loved. Forever. Forever.

25 " Soul stained black by darkness

I’ve been banished to this half life.

All I have left is remembered honor

And for this I now must fight.

I’ll protect those that I left behind

So they’ll never feel this sorrow.

I’ll hold the line day and night

So my Fey brethren will not follow.

Dahl’reisen’s Lament, by Varian vel Chera "
