Po and Katsa have married, Katsa living in her new husband's castle and him living in the forests of Lienid, visiting every so often. Now, a new character is introduced...
I do not own any of the Graceling ideas or characters, except for Suka.
Prologue
Sunlight dappled the floor of the apple orchard, sparkling off of Po's eyes. It was spring, and one of Po's semiannual visits to his castle on Lienid. The apple blossoms were falling, creating a romantic image around us, making Katsa more uncomfortable.
She never wanted this. It went against everything her Grace told her. It was a freak of nature, what's happened, but she didn't care. Now that it had happened, she wished it would've earlier.
"Po?"
"What's bothering you, Katsa? There's something you obviously don't want to tell me. How bad could it be?" his voice grinned. If only he knew... "If only I knew what? Come on, it can't be as bad as my blindness."
"Well, it kind of is… I'm very happy about it, so I'm just going to see how long it'll take you to figure it out," Katsa whispered. She kept her mind blank, thinking of the apple blossoms, the butterfly in the tree, anything besides it.
Po took a minute, closing his Graceling eyes. It was as if he was listening to all of the orchard, and beyond. Katsa knew he was sensing with his mind.
He suddenly gasped. "Oh." Po cleared his throat. "Are you okay with this? I know you never wanted this."
Katsa faked anger, "How could I not be okay with this?! I'm perfectly happy with my baby Suka."
