Where Gabriel forgets, Vladislaus remembers. He'd been young, trapped in the awkwardness between child and man, thundering off for the woods on his father's horse, lusting for the hunt.
The horse had stopped dead at the sight of him— bleeding and broken in the road— and Vladislaus was thrown into the bushes in an undignified heap of too-long limbs.
His brothers were too superstitious to near the man lying in the road, two gashes torn deep into his back. But Vladislaus was entranced. He rode home, a fallen angel cradled in his arms.
The irony was not lost on him.
