The girls are growing well and stronger every day. Their apetite increases, and I am kept on a strict schedule. They are not so tiny now as they were when born, though Alantha is smaller than her sister.
Rose is an invaluable help, and I know not what I would do without her. Still, she is in danger always, and I know she misses her own family.
Our existance here is so fragile, yet it offers me a respite from worry that Khaless will find us.
Everything has its price. I have learned that time and again..and this security, though needed has come with its own. I cannot speak of it..even here, lest the spell be broken, but it did not come cheaply. I understand now why I was given the Sov. Three shards I must deliver.
One I have already, a rogue seduced and used for his skill. The second is very close at hand.
The third..I am at a loss as to retrieve, tied as I am to the babes. I had the same problem with the second however, and here it is, within my grasp.
I did not count on the stubborness of the privateer I have used however, and he is being very difficult. I do believe, if I let him live, I shall have a whole new set of problems.
I am considering neutralizing the poison that sickens him as I write, if for no other reason than to cover my own ass. I do believe he will be quite angry when he can think clearly again. As well, I can see that no persuasion, torture or demand is going to get me the second shard. To get what I want..the bastard is going to make me play nice.
I hope to have the second shard within a few days, and with it, a plan to avoid needing the third.
It was a difficult decision for me, but I have come to believe, that the only way to insure the safety of my children from the madness of their father, is to end his life.
There are so many that are eager to kill. If not the privateer..who it seems is much suited to the job...then someone else.
Khaless will be kept so busy defending himself, he will not be able to seek the babes.
Rose has felt him..close and searching..he tries still to invade the dreams. He will not succeed.
I wonder about Eiradium often, but feel only sadness for the loss of his humanity. I cannot allow my children to suffer the same.
I call on Gaia daily for her protection, and I feel it like a mist, gathering to spill like a tear with reflections of black wings.
