1. The Temple

ZEDKIEL.

I know she’s heartbroken, and I know I did this to her. Even if I was trying not to hurt her, I still did.

“We’re running out of time.” Ziahra says warily, her eyes on Evelyn, observing her with nervous caution.

They don’t trust her, and I know I shouldn’t either, but I also can’t betray her by stuffing her in a tomb without so much as an explanation.

“I know.” I say quietly, glancing at Evelyn.

She has her arms folded, looking around at the runes and markings on the walls with a noted expression on her face.

‘We have to still seal her away.’ Zerachiel whispers as he urges me to keep moving forward.

Evelyn watches me and she’s trying to hide her emotions, knowing that it’s nothing good that’s coming her way.

Guilt gnaws at me at what I need to do to her. I need to put her back in the dark, somewhere she has spent the majority of this lifetime. First trapped in Evangeline’s head, locked in the confines of her sister’s mind, waiting for an opportunity to be set free. And now I need to ask her to trust me and remain in the dark again.

Only this time it’s different. She would have to trust I would return for her, but would it be enough?

Would it break the work I’ve done, the trust she’s put in me?

‘Stop doubting yourself, Zedkiel.’ Zerachiel snarls, his irritation rising. ‘She needs to be locked away.”

‘I can’t.’ I reply, as I take her hand.

She’s limp, there’s no energy or life left in her body or any spark in her eyes, her expression dead as her gaze holds mine briefly.

‘Then you will risk us all?’ He asks me quietly.

Ignoring him, I give her hand a squeeze, showing her more gentleness than I’m used to.
