Destiny Of War( Sequel To Destiny Of Deception)(BWWM)

14

Training was brutal that morning. Sinik seemed extra determined to torture and work me ragged. Still he seemed proud as i did manage to  counter and evade a  few of his moves. My thoughts were distracted throughout though.  i unconsciously couldn't stop thinking of our converstion last tnight. 

A deep gash to my forearm was my reminder to pay attention as Sinik's blade tore into me. I shrieked in pain clutching the wound tightly 

Sinik snarled with aggravation as my blood leaked down my arm

"PAY ATTENTION AYLA!" he growled infuriated

"I..im sorry"  i said pitifully as i tried to stop the flow with my hands.

" Why am i not healing? Like i healed you?"  I asked curiously watching the blood flow

"Healers may be able to heal others but their powers are limited. It  does not allow them to heal  themselves.  unfortunately"  he murmured

Unfortunate indeed that sucked big time. 

He quickly ripped his top and wrapped it around my arm tightly. His gaze didn't meet mine and i suddenly  wondered if he regretted last night

"Were done for today"  he snapped as he stormed away.

I opened  my mouth to speak but quickly snapped it shut feeling ashamed that i was so hung up over his attentions that i lost my focus. he had a right to be angry. in a real battle that lapse of focus could have cost me my life.

******************************************** 

Later as i waited for dinner to be announced i put  Taylen down for a  nap.  His sweet snores beside me  like a lullaby that eased my tensed form. My thoughts once again unbiddenly strayed to me and Sinik' s late night conversation as  i tortured myself with unanswered questions.

 What would a respectable warrior like Sinik see in me? I was the proverbial defintion of a mess. Was he trying to tease and embarrass me Or was he genuinely interested in me? Why did  i even care? I could not trust a male so soon after both Taron and Kizan broke my heart.

Taron. Nova

Heated Shame and pain soared through me at the thought of what they could be suffering at the hands of that demented man

I hated feeling helpless to help them. I knew i couldn't just run off and leave Taylen; sacrificing  myself especially with the war coming. Would Dakkar even  stop the war if i surrendered . Something told me no. His father ran this show. He was merely a puppeteer given more power than most only because they shared blood.

Sighing i began to think over Sinik's words about mistakes he said he made. many more than me. I knew he meant my grandmother and for some reason i wanted to know the story. Should i just ask? Sinik was not a particularly sharing man. An idea popped in my head then

Maybe i could access my seer  power and revisit the past to see for myself. Would that be a violation of privacy? Definitely. The thought made me almost nixed the idea, but something told me to do it. That within his past was an important part of the puzzle I had so far,  struggled to understand.

I fought my thoughts internally before i finally decided  i needed to do it.  So i closed my eyes and concentrated like Rykell had taught me, I snapped them back open when i realized  i needed something of Sinik's to get to his specific past. I  despaired, running my hand  frustratingly through my curls. I didn't have anything of his. The brush of dark grey  fabric touching  my face  caught my notice when i pulled irritably on my locs. I looked at it. 

Elation overwhelming me. Sin gave me this just this morning for my wound!

Quickly I snagged the fabric off my arm and clutched it tight closing my eyes.  Again i concentrated. Blocking out the sounds of bugs chirping outside my window,  Taylen's  light snores and sweet slumbering giggles. I focused all my energy on Sinik and what i wanted to know. The whole  truth behind his and my grandmothers affair

Suddenly I felt myself as before, hurling through a tunnel of empty darkness just before i crashed  none too softly upon the ground. I gathered myself quickly as i stood and looked around. 

Fae lands! i realized  happily.  I raced toward the castle walking in unbothered as i recalled what Rykell said about no one being able to see me. Except Nax. I halted fear freezing my blood. I  would need to be careful. He could be near in this memory.

A celebratory commotion erupted from the great hall where i had spent many meals before. I rushed there throwing open the doors. The scene that reached me stilled my breaths

My grandfather sat on his raised dais proud, fearsome  and so much younger. Tears sprang to my eyes at the sight. But it was the woman beside him that drew all my attention. Her gown was as brightly lit as the golden sun. With  flaxen hair and eyes to match. She glowed seeming otherworldly. I knew instantly that this was my grandmother, the woman that had an affair with  Sin. 

 She looked regal and happy as she smiled at the adoring crowds. I looked around an noticed many fae dancing,  drinking, chattering. What where they celebrating?. Just then My grandfather stood addressing the crowd. I watched attentively,  eager to hear his words and voice once again

"My people this is truly a grand occasion. I am most pleased to announce well deservedly,  my newly appointed  commander of our forces Sinik from the house of Evanal". 

I spun to where he gestured and gasped. Sinik stood self assured as always. He looked no older than 16 but i knew Fae aged differently than humans did. His blood red hair was shorter than I've ever seen it. And his eyes. God his eyes held such innocence and happiness that i have never witnessed in the Sinik i knew.

He walked to the front of the crowd and stood in front of the dais kneeling. I caught  the flash of predatorial  admiration from my grandmothers  yellow gaze as she stared at him. Then  Just as my mother and Rykell  appeared i was hurled away tunneling  through the darkness again

DAMMIT i  wanted to see more! I need to work on how to stay where i want in these vision dreams. 

Fortunately though, i was not hurled back home, but to a different  memory. One that would finally answer all my questions about Sinik's mysterious past and  the truth behind  Dakkar's unhealthy obsession for me......................................

Small Plot twist up next
