    Summary

    The scene they come upon is disturbing: Occtis is curled tightly into a ball with his head tucked into his knees, and he is whimpering and shaking. As Vaelus kneels beside him and lays a hand on his shoulder, Occtis unfurls long enough to hiss at her, before scuttling backwards until he reaches the farmhouse walls. He curls up again, pressing himself into the wall as if he could phase through it with enough force.

    Occtis lost his soul at the hands of his family, and nearly lost his body, too. It shouldn’t be surprising, then, that they come for his mind next.

    Summary

    Ethrand succeeds at planting the Stone of Nightsong into Occtis' chest, but is stopped before he can tear out his brother's heart. Critically injured and with an ancient relic bound to his body and soul, Occtis (alongside Thaisha and Vaelus) need to find somewhere safe to rest, recover, and decide what the hell to do next.

    Summary

    “You should bring your Maker here,” Wulfric says. The sun is low in the sky, shading towards dusk. “To meet my Companion. It would do him good, I think. He is lonely, that is what drew me from his heart in the first place, and while he says I am all he needs, I know it for a lie.”

    Pin considers this. Is Occtis lonely? It’s true that he seems to have few friends that he has seen, save for Thaisha, who had called Pin “the cutest abomination of nature” that she had ever laid eyes on, which had caused Occtis to chuckle. “I can try,” is what he finally says. “But he usually stays in cities.”

    “And Kattigan rarely leaves the forest,” Wulfric says. “Still.” He lays his muzzle briefly on Pin’s back. “You are welcome here, with or without the one who made you.

    Summary

    Julien. Why should I change my name?”

    Julien sighs again. The hand stills.

    “Well, when I say I have personally rid the world of all Tachonis heirs, I want to be right.”

    “My family disowned me,” Occtis replies. Flatly. His family killed him.

    “You are still a Tachonis,” Julien retorts, just as matter-of-factly.

    This time, Occtis is able to roll over, face to face with Julien. Of all the places he thought he’d end up when Thaisha Lloy had asked for his assistance in Venatus, lying in bed with the notoriously promiscuous Sir Julien Davinos was not one of them. The fact he is here out of choice, and because he wants to be, would have been so far out of believability to be laughable.
