Kar taneleri genç adamın boynunu sıvazladı. Tüm ayaz gökyüzünün soğuk esintisiyle kavisli çenesine sinmiş gibi irkildi. "Çalı bile itmiyor kendine sığınan kuşu. Rüzgar değse düşecek gibisin, herkes iki dağı aşabilirsin zannediyor!" Ne denli kırdığının dahi farkında olmadan tüm selleri üzerime savuruyordu. Ruhu karamsar bir rüzgarda çöllerde savrulmuş gibi dokundu. "Ben sadece seni görmek..." Tam cümlemi bitireceğim sırada öfkesi yüzünde daha fazla hissedilmeye başladı. "Bana bak, Liva!" Tam karşımda dikilmiş buz mavisi gözlerini irislerime saptamıştı. "Sen ve ben diye bir şey yok!" durdu ve gözlerindeki irisleri koyu gölgelerinde kayboldu. ... "Herakleitos der ki! Karakter insanın kaderidir!" Ardından bana döndü. "Sezgi, aklın tekeridir! Bazen kadınlar sezgilerinde fazla duygusal davranabilir!" Söyledikleriyle bakışlarım koyu irislerine dokundu. "Sevgi affetmez! Sevgi yıpratır." diyebildim. ... "Vuslat" gözüyle bakarsan "Yâr" "Hasret" gözüyle bakarsan "Yara" ...

I have been looking for a lot of these with no luck. So I decided to try out writing and I am going to try and write from Cardans Point of view during parts of the cruel prince series! Hope you enjoy! :)

Rhysand awakens to find his beloved mated very sick. For a couple days he fusses over her before he is able to convince her to go to a healer. The night before she goes, he hears something that will forever change him and his family. (From Rhys's point of view) **NOTE: This is NOT my story! The owner no longer has an account here, but if she recreates one, I will let you know. I do NOT know how often updates will be posted (though, for now, it seems she is putting this story on hold)!**

"Do you want me to live?" I choke the words out, nearly a sob, head pounding. Maven steps into my cell and this time I do not move away. I stay in my place on the cold ground, waiting to see how he responds. He stops right in front of me, crouching down. He puts a hand out to push the hair out of my face and I let him. He is oddly gentle and an unreadable expression takes over his face. "Of course I do," he finally says, an inkling of pain on his pale face. "And I can have you live." This is my take on what would have happened if Mare chose Maven in the Bowl of Bones.
