“It still works?” Tanik asked, blinking incredulously at the sight of the hologram. One of the two people was Samara—the real Samara, not Nova—while the other was Tanik Gurhain, her husband.
“We do look a lot alike,” Tanik mused. “But these scars are a convenient disguise,” he said, while running a hand over the raised lines running across his face. “Without them, someone who knew Tanik well might have realized that I’m not him.”
“If they had, I’m sure you could have disposed of them quietly. Did anyone recognize you?” Feyra asked.
“No. Not even Nova, and I allowed her into my head.”
“Yes, it is remarkable that you could hide your true nature from her and still give her some measure of control over you.”
Tanik sneered. “She never had any measure of control over me. I was the one controlling her from the moment we met.”
Feyra’s eyes widened and she grinned. “You are unstoppable, my love.”
Tanik smiled and wrapped an arm around her shoulders to draw her in for another kiss. “Yes,” he murmured against her lips. “The Augur was the only one who could have stopped me, and we took care of him.”
Feyra’s eyes sparkled with delight. “Oh! I still have his head mounted on the wall.”
Tanik blinked in shock. “In the castle? I thought I told you to get rid of that!”
“I did. I moved it to our cabin in the valley.”
Tanik’s nose wrinkled. “I find your taste in artwork disturbing...”
Feyra laughed. “Says the one who cut the head off and gave it to me. You shouldn’t have done that if you didn’t want me to keep it.”
Tanik snorted and shook his head. He turned Feyra by her shoulders to look over the forest valley. The sun was setting, lighting the sky on fire. “Beautiful,” he murmured.
Feyra laced her fingers through his once more. “Now what?” she asked.
“The other Revenants are still out there,” he said. “Trapped on this side of the Eye with us. I think perhaps it’s time we re-opened the wormhole so they can go join the war.”
“Good idea.”
“I wonder whose side the other Luminaries will join? The Cygnians’ or their fellow Revenants’?”
“Does it matter?” Feyra asked. “One way or another, they’re all going to kill each other.”
Tanik laughed at that. “Yes, I suppose they will.”
