3026 Unforgivable Crime (Part 2)

'I don't care if Night is your sister. I'm going to kill her on sight. If we don't stop her now, you'll be the next.' Acala said.

'Glad we are on the same page.' Dawn's eyes burned with mana and fury.

She kept the destruction spell for Night's crystal and her Tower Blade Tier Spell, Rising Sun, ready to be unleashed the moment Night was in sight.

What the Crazy Horseman had done was more than betrayal, it was fratricide. Something that among Baba Yaga's direct children, like Firstborns and Horsemen, was considered an unforgivable crime.

The Red Mother had given them life and only she could take it away.

In case of a dispute, only non-lethal fighting was allowed. If either side wanted the battle to be to the death, they had to summon Baba Yaga via their eternal bond and ask her judgment.

Night had spat on a millennia-old tradition and everything the Horsemen stood for in one fell swoop. Kelia had provided Baba Yaga with precise dimensional coordinates and so many details about the location of the attack that Dawn could find it with her eyes closed.

Sunshine brought Dawn to her destination in the blink of an eye, yet aside from death and the ruins of the mining town, there was nothing to find. Acala and Dawn used Tower Tier detection spells, hoping to find a dimensional trace to give chase to Night or at least a few of Dusk's fragments.

'Even one more shard would make Mother's work much easier. Saving my brother takes priority. Revenge can wait.' Alas, she found nothing.

The space had been relaxed and every bit of crystal collected.

"Come out and fight me, you coward!" Dawn yelled at the top of her lungs, her voice booming for kilometers but only silence answered her call.

She Warped in random directions, using her detection spells in the hope of stumbling into Night's trail. Luck turned her back to the Horseman and Dawn was forced to return to the hut empty-handed.

'There's nothing I can do here. I'd better make sure that Night hasn't backtracked to steal Dusk's steed while Mother is busy.'

When she arrived, there was no trace of the traitorous Horseman but none of her brother either. There was no magic in the air, only the sound of Kelia's sobbing. She was curled up in a fetal position, holding the shard piercing her chest while rocking back and forth.

"Is Dusk…" Dawn failed to find the strength to complete the question.

"Gone? Yes. Dead, no." The Red Mother said, shifting from her Crone form to that of the Mother before wrapping Kelia in a gentle embrace.

"Really?" She sniffled amid tears and bubbles of snot.

"Yes, child. How do you think that I came to your side like that? If Dusk was dead so would be my bond with him. My bond with you." Baba Yaga replied.

"Can you bring him back?" Kelia asked.

"That's beyond even me. We are missing his body, his mana organs, and his core." The Mother shook her head.

"Then he's dead!" Kelia started sobbing again.

"No, because he's left you a critical piece of himself. His mind." Baba Yaga touched the crystal shard and it shone with new power.

Dusk's voice was gone but everything he knew was still there. Any question Kelia asked would be answered, but the information came to her cold and impersonal. It was more like reading a book than remembering.
