“It’s been a badass ride,” Rainey says.
“This is fucking depressing,” Fearghas snaps. Eira touches his shoulder.
“No one’s managed to kill us, yet,” Cole says. “Who says today they will?”
“Seeing as how you have been dead in recent months as has this asshole,” Fearghas adds, gesturing to me, “You can keep your victory speech to yourself.”
It began with us, all those months ago when Elijah and Rainey opened that damn box. Doing so, combined with their forbidden relationship, set off a chain reaction that caused multiple upheavals within the council. Then, Delaney’s return sent Lucy—a then member of the Immortal Council—on a spree that nearly decimated them all over again and caused Bronywyn to become infected with shadow magic.
Their attack on her was met with pushback. That is likely the reason they’re trying to clean up the mess now. After all, you can’t let people see just how weak you are, or they will take advantage of that.
The councils are making an example out of us, and they don’t even realize that in doing so, they’re likely signing their own death warrants.
It began with us.
Isn’t it poetic that it will likely end with us, too?
