She thought herself superior, mighty, and for the time being she was. Without Larkspur, she would have floated with nothing to ground her. Haku had seen her potential but now the orange-eyed male wondered if he had been wrong. Maybe his faith in the dead man had blinded him. Maybe the fact that Eris, in her physical appearance, reminded him of Misery blinded him. He did not think of these things, for his mind was focused now on what it was he would need to do to survive. They would pretend. Eris would flaunt and wear her crown and leave her soon-to-be mate in the dust as if he was little more than a slave.

Emotionlessly, he lowered his head and stared at the ground between her feet. This changed so many things for him, and panic had only served to cause him to retreat inward. The voice of the can tah, the voice of the little god, of Tak, of the unformed and unclean, it whispered to him and promised retribution. He feared that more for the sake of the whore-children in her belly. If they were his, he knew that Tak would without a doubt strike twice as fierce; the earth god had special torture for his followers.

A hand touched him, but he did not feel. He barely recognized her presence anymore, and allowed her to treat him as a dog. Things had changed. The thunder rumbled behind him, over the mountain, and he shut his eyes and sighed. He said nothing. She did not believe and she would not listen. One day she would; this the can tah whispered with an especially cruel voice.
