Cat-Man frowned, clearly not a massive fan of the idea. But he also nodded, and Macey felt his mind pull away from the two of theirs.
He’s gone, she said needlessly.
Thanks, Sharara replied. I have a gift for you.
That’s really not necessary, Macey said, feeling a little flustered.
You can’t say no to a dying cù sìth, Macey. That’d just be rude.
Sorry, Macey murmured.
What I’m about to do can never be revealed to anyone but those you’d trust with your eternal life. We both know there are six of them. But no
one else, understood?
Macey nodded, slightly confused. Sharara sucked in a deep breath, her body weakening beneath Macey’s touch.
For my last act upon this earth,
Before I head to my rebirth,
I bequeath upon to thee,
A name which comes in three.
Macey must be the first,
Reveal the second and be cursed,
The third you shall obtain,
When Seven Wardens shall reign.
With her final words, Sharara took a deep shuddering breath and stilled. A tear slipped down Macey’s face as the death, and the knowledge Sharara was imparting, overtook her. The rush of information through her mind, coupled with the intense emotions, was enough to send Macey reeling. Not quite sure what she was doing, she stumbled away from the still body of the dog-woman, and back towards her men. She hadn’t taken more than three steps when blackness overtook, and she crumbled to the floor.
“Ibzan, his name is Ibzan.” Her voice was all weird and croaky, but it was important for them to know. They finally had a name.
“Whose name?” Cam asked, his hand cool on her forehead. All three men were looking down at her and her head appeared to be lying on Cam’s lap.
“How long was I out?” She ignored his question, asking her own instead. They would figure it out.
“Only a few minutes. Are you alright?” Flint looked worried and she smiled to show that she was fine. And if she ignored the headache she was still feeling behind her eyes, she was perfectly fine.
“Yes, everything’s alright. I got hit with a few memories, that’s all. How is cat-man?”
Jared chuckled. “Did you just call him cat-man?”
Macey frowned. “What do you call him in your heads?”
The three men looked at each other. “Cat-man.”
“See?” Macey smiled, before remembering what just happened. Sadness overcame her. “She’s dead?”
Cam nodded, stroking her hair. “He’s not said anything since he awoke a few minutes before you did. He’s sitting with her and we’ve been waiting for you to wake up and tell us what’s happened.”
Macey sat up and shuffled back until she could lean against Cam’s broad chest. “Ice. His name is Izban. The Voice was after him and Sharara - that’s the dog woman - protected him. He’s got blue hair and piercings, he looks like a punk. A very pretty punk, though.”
“Hey, he’s off limits,” Flint warned, his tone only half joking.
