Lambrit rubs the back of his neck, blowing his breath out harshly as he looks at Amick. “We’re going to have some issues with the areas we want to search.”
“Why?”
“A lot of those high reported isolated areas are gods and the families they’ve created. There are godly children spread out among the regions.”
“What the fuck? Don’t they know how dangerous that is?” Creed growls.
“Yes, they do, but he said the gods, the Beginning and those higher in the Godsdawn, are lying to us about more than we can fathom. He refused to go into detail but said we had nothing to worry about from the gods or children they created down here.”
I pinch my nose. “There’s literally no telling what all they lie about.”
“Did he say anything about his wife?” Kyzen asks.
“Aww, he was so sweet. He said the second he laid his eyes on her, he knew she was the one and he’d never return to Godsden without her by his side. That’s so romantic.”
Rose bats her lashes at Lambrit and he smiles at her just as softly. Their sweetness holds my attention for just a moment before the contemplative look on Kyzen steals it.
“What are you thinking?”
“Not really sure, yet.”
“We need to get back to the carriage and reevaluate our plans. I need to refresh myself on the history of godly children,” Amick declares, already striding back the way we came without another look back at any of us.
Yep, he’s about to freak out.
Sleep continues to evade me despite the fact this bed is magnificent, the comforter’s perfect, I’m nestled between Kyzen and Amick, and I’m staring at the stars.
Today ended with Amick frustrated, everyone else wondering what the fuck we’re going to do now that our most hopeful areas are more than likely gods and their families, and me just simply overwhelmed.
Derivius wouldn’t answer me when I asked if he figured out what the hell was going on. Then V, Seismet, and Verlet brushed the guys and me off when we asked if they knew what the god we met in the woods meant.
We’ve seemed to hit an invisible wall that we don’t see a way around yet.
I lift my fingers and jump from one star to the next but swiftly let my hand fall when Kyzen grumbles.
“What are you doing, little goddess?”
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to wake you.”
“None of us are sleeping. We’re trying to let you fall asleep first,” Creed rumbles from the other side of Amick, who nods.
“Riven?”
“Still talking to myself, little burden.”
I blow out a breath as my body suddenly grows hot. It was definitely easier lying here thinking they were all asleep.
“Tell us what’s on your mind and maybe that’ll help,” Kyzen says, laying a kiss on my shoulder and pulling me closer.
Amick huffs and scoots over until his body is back pressed to mine and I suppress a laugh.
“Do you really think the stars are the gateway to the Valories?”
Two nos and two yeses respond.
I’m a tad shocked Kyzen is a no and Creed is a yes.
I’m not surprised Amick is a yes and Riven is a no.
