The Tiger Within

"What of Talis, did you see him?" The general asked as his wife buried her face in her husband"s chest .

"Talis" life does not rest on the whims of the Shadow king, or her Ladyship of Death . Another has touched your son"s life so deeply neither of them have any say in his life . I"m sorry, General, My Lady, I do not know if he shall wake or slumber for eternity . " Kendrick replied carefully . No one needed to know the truth as of yet . Not till she chose to leave the concept of "Mortal" behind .

Advertis.e.m.e.nt"Who? What G.o.d or G.o.ddess should we ask?" The General"s wife asked her eyes filled with desperation even though her voice was controlled . Her word choice was ask, but by her eyes he knew in truth it should have been beg . This n.o.bel woman was not above begging the G.o.ds for their a.s.sistance .

"She is a budding Demi G.o.ddess . Your son"s life will have to speak for himself . The Voice of Fate will decide your son"s life or death depending on his heart and hers . No other . " Kendeick replied without hesitation . His aunt had referred to Kyera as such, so he saw no issue saying these things . None of it was a lie and that t.i.tle was one he suspected his sister would wear with pride .

"I see… may… may we see him?" The General asked taking his wife in one arm, wrapping her against his body for comfort . The sinking feeling of helplessness was overwhelming for the pair . This was the second time they could do nothing when one of their son"s life was threatened by another .

"Of course, hes resting under Shaman Half Eye"s care currently . Princessa Kyera was tending him earlier . " Kendrick replied with a rea.s.suring smile . "Once I have these Knights handled I will take you there . " He turned to the knights to find another had joined them .

Lazren stood at his side, having joined him moments before . "I will handle them . They are the guard increase for Lady Kyera and the children, Sir . " Lazren explained and nodded at him .

"Knight Lazren, I have the package the Princess asked for as well . " A young bear shifter offered a package to him . It was wrapped in brown cloth, tied with twine made from flax fibers . Lazren took it and looked at Kendrick as if asking if he knew what it was . Kendrick took the package, it was soft and a little heavy . Probably clothing by the way it flexed in the bag .

"I will take it to her . Please, distribute the Knight Guard . I will tend our General and his Lady wife . " Kendrick pa.s.sed off the Knight duties without a second thought . He didn"t wear the uniform anymore . Their prince died the night his brothers pa.s.sed and left Kyera alone to shoulder the burden of Princess . He would only take that t.i.tle off her if she asked . She had earned their respect, their loyalty and worked hard for it . He would never try to belittle that by stepping in her way .

"As you wish . " Lazren replied with a partial bow before leading the men away to discuss their a.s.signments, leaving Daxin and the General couple with Kendrick .

"Come along . I will take you to the treatment room . " Kendrick led the three inside . The gentle sound of singing made Kendrick groan . Internally, he was having a fit while externally he was itching to grab some rope .

Inside the treatment room, sitting beside the bed silver hair washed, brushed, impeccably put together was Kyera, dressed for the day . It was clear she hadn"t slept and yet there she sat . Her voice weaving magic in the air as she pa.s.sed her hand over the boy"s brow . A small pang of sadness pa.s.sed through him at how much like an older sister his baby sister acted . It was so natural for her, he almost wondered where she learned it .
