Amarantha was insane.
But I already knew that as I watched, both through his mind and my eyes, as she tortured him. I didn't even know the male or what court he was from.
But as I held his mind I quickly found out all the answers.
He was a high fae male named Aedan from the Dawn Court. All of his, Aedan's, family had been killed. Aedan's wife, Maoria, and his only son, Alroy, had fled while he had stayed to fight...foolish, brash decision.
I tried as best I could to take the pain away, but when Amarantha had turned to me with knife out I knew the next words out of her mouth would dramatically change the situation,
"For some more fun and a reward for bringing me those traitors on Fire Night."
I gave her a smirk but inside I knew it was some punishment, some cruel twisted punishment for being allowed outside even for an hour.
With one look at her bloodthirsty face I knew she wanted him to scream so I made him. All the while part of me wondered how I'd ever become such a monster.
To finish off the act with a simple flick of my hand I branded him with our, my sigil. A mountain with three stars and a permanent reminder of how far I'd gone, wrecked myself.
"Take him to our dear Tamlin and leave his head there as a present...no, put it on the statue. Lets remind them how little time they have left," she orders with a smile, all the while her eyes are glazed as if imagining their expression when they find the "gift".
I simply give her a smirk, grab the weak tortured man and winnow.
With half a thought I shatter the shield, it's weaker than normal, and carefully, quietly walk in.
"Sorry"
I whisper so quietly it might have well of been in my mind and rip Aedon's head clean off.
At least he'll be with his family, part of me envies him for that...
Skewering the head on the first statue I see, a great heron, I winnow away as if I'd never been there.
As soon as I get back I go straight to my rooms and hurl my guts up, not being able to rid the tortured man from my mind.
And I can't prevent myself from knowing that this would have pleased her...
