She listened a second time and placed the recorder on the desk. “I miss you, Kuparak. I wish you were alive to help me resist The MasTer.” She touched the locket. “I wish you’d had time to tell me where Rethdun is. I promise to find him and all the Eleo Preda who are related to us.”
She lifted the sword, hefted its weight, and tested its balance. Holding it up, she gazed at its elegant shape and savored the rounded smoothness of the ruby against her palm. Someday, I’ll take you home to the land of my ancestors. Someday, Rethdun and I will walk again on the continent of El QuilTran. Someday…
From the depths of Rayn’s subconscious, The MasTer riveted his attention to his goal. Someday, your anger will open the door. I will be ready. And when I emerge, Rayn Jaradee Palmira, I will never allow you to gain control again…
Jaradee’s Legacy, birth-mates to lead
The war against genocide, murder, and greed;
And fight to preserve ancient history and past
To ensure that a culture and people would last.
