We sujourned back to Ebonheart with Kara. The girl didn’t speak for the entire journey, or even look at us. She didn’t ask for her mother either. She knew, even without being told.

And in the event that she ever looked in our direction, it was to watch Drustan pick at his food delicately like he irritated her. Her small lips would curl with contempt before she turned away completely, only to watch him again only minutes later.

Drustan, in his defense, didn’t seem to notice this. Or her. And if we ever turned our backs for a few seconds, they were fighting again.

Upon arriving at Ebonheart, Evadne took Kara with her. The goodbyes were brief. Of course, we’d see around on important occasions. And we would write to to each other. Sebastian, of course, went with her.

In the subsequent years, Evadne and Sebastian would come to have a daughter, giving Kara a sibling, Gianna. But they never wed. Theirs remained a toxic situation. Sebastian stuck by Eva’s side, but he could never truly get over what she was. He loved their daughter, but I had been right in my foreshadowing.

His initial reaction to seeing their daughter straight out of Eva’s wound has been jarring enough that Lucien had punched him until his jaw broke.

And that had been enough to decide the path of Sebastian’s relationship with Evadne. It hurt her, but she got over it quickly. They remained lovers, but Evadne slept with other people just to hurt him back in turn.

I came to learn very quickly that Evadne was the nicest person, but she held a grudge like the devil.

Our children grew together. Kara remained in Castle Kaldrith, however, refusing to mingle, except during Solstice. She never stopped hating my children. But Jessamine, she seemed to like better than the boys. They could have been called friends. The others got along quite well. Even an aloof, unfeeling Asterin, seemed to accept that this little family we had would always be a constant.

And in the years following the war, after we abandoned our kingdom and focused on preserving the lives of our people, getting them out before the invaders could lay hands on them... It was difficult times, but we were fine.

We stuck together.

But the divide began when Drustan and Kara crossed a line they shouldn’t have.

And perhaps it was my fault for not paying closer attention. For not recognising the heated arguments and hatred for what it was. Until we found them in the haystack at seventeen, Kara’s skirts around her waist and Drustan...

It was quite the image. You never quite realize your children are growing until you walk in on them having sex.

It would have been fine. We would have been able to handle it. If Kara hadn’t looked then at us, at Drustan and said,

"He took advantage of me."
