Chapter 114

Telling the boys that Ophelia was gone to the life beyond and not with them anymore was difficult. They wanted to know why she left, even though she had promised she wouldn’t leave. Fiona told them she didn’t leave for another community; rather, she was killed by the bad man who attacked them two days ago.

June asked why she didn’t bring her back, and she had to tell them that though she could heal, she couldn’t raise the dead. Ophelia wasn’t dead when she came home, but she died while she was protecting her sons, but they didn’t need to know that. She told thèm instead that their nanny was in a better place and that they would get to see her one day.

Ophelia wasn’t the only casualty of that day’s attack; they also found the bodies of the three beta guards Julian had placed on her. Uryi had killed them before going inside to attack Ophelia. Fiona would have sensed it and probably helped, but she had given all her abilities except her healing to Julian and was still getting it back. There was little she could do.

They held rites of passage of the guards yesterday, and Julian was in attendance after placing Kenneth to watch over her and the boys.

“Is that why we are wearing black?” Jashin asked.

“It is proper to wear black during the rite of passage.” Julian answered while he finished knotting their ties.

He had taken over the responsibility of the house and also left the tower after his return from Pillot. They were his first priority.

“Is today the day we will go and see Ophelia?” Jashin asked, already excited.

He shook his head. “No, but today is the day we will say our farewells to her. We will still see her someday when we are really old.”

“Like a hundred years?”

He nodded. “Yes, maybe a hundred to two hundred years to come if we are lucky, but years to come if we are lucky, but we will see her someday.”
