With another flick of his wrist the Goddess’ gown disappeared and her laughter was heard floating through the heavens.

Epilogue

Deep in the darkness Daco raged hearing the Goddess’ laughter. He had been so close! So close in separating those two stupid mortals! How had they been able to forgive one another? How could their bond have grown stronger instead of breaking doing a time of trouble? Now, because the doors Rawnie had empowered with protection were back where they belonged, he could no longer influence them during the dark hours.

It was something Daco had learned, thanks to his punishment. Mortals were most vulnerable in the dark, no matter where it was and Daco had used that knowledge to his advantage. He had whispered things to Emperor Lucan in the darkest of the nights, making him desire things he never had before. It was something Daco greatly enjoyed doing, making these mortals the Goddess thought so worthy, do things that weren’t. Bertos and Risa hadn’t even been a challenge, both were greedy, and mortal greed was always easy to manipulate.

No, it was in the turning of the fit and worthy, where the real challenge was because it always left a much deeper mark behind along with so much disbelief and devastation. Ynyr’s demise would have sent a devastating wave of destruction throughout the Empire, for he had been hand chosen by the Emperor himself, and all would begin to doubt House Vasteri because of it, along with House Rigel.

Who could he use now? Who was at a turning point? Searching the darkness Daco began to smile. Oh yes, there he was, sitting alone in the Lord’s command room, but it was not
his
command room.

Ull Rigel. A first male. Oh, he had lightly brushed Ull’s mind lately, trying to get him to challenge his brother, but Ull’s honor had been strong. If Daco could turn him…

Daco began to whisper.
