Summary
“Your boy will be strong and fast. Steadfast in both mind and heart. He will grow to be something of pride.”
“And…” the man’s eyes passed over the youth. It stared keenly, watching as the man flinched away when he set eyes upon it, “the other one…?”
“Shall be left to the fates design. I will do no more.”Before it returned the cherub to them, it touched the child gently on the forehead, marking it with the Wild of the Water.
The child, too small to understand the gift he had been given, looked back at it without a hint of fear or disdain. He was too young yet to feel otherness, too pure of heart. Perhaps with the Water’s help, he never would.
It watched the man and the woman return to their mortal land with the boy, and it wondered what they would make of its trickery.
After all, it hadn’t lied. It had promised one of their sons would grow to be strong and sure, and that another would be left to chance.
It simply hadn’t told them which son.
