that you killed the evil that infected the land. It was an act that no other could accomplish. Do not regret your actions.” Serina spoke in a soothing tone that spoke of power she was not supposed to have.
Euan looked to Serina. “There is still much evil in this land. What she killed was only a portion.”
Serina nodded.
Ramsey McKenzie carries evil within him. He must be stopped as well.”
“Yes Euan and he will be stopped, but that is not your battle. There is another that must rid the land of that taint. There are many who carry the dark blood inside of them though. You will know them now. Your spirit will speak to you of the character of the people surrounding you. It will be a useful gift. You will retain the ability to sense illness and the ability to know how to heal it. This will serve as a gift once the darkness is conquered. It will serve you instead of try to rule you.”
Euan shook his head. “Nay! I do not want to rule the darkness! I want it gone.” His eyes were huge with horror when he spoke.
Serina only smiled. “You will have a strength unsurpassed by any other man. No evil will threaten you or those of your blood. Through you God will create an army that will be unaffected by the dark stain that is spreading across the land. Through you we have hope.”
Euan sat stunned on the hard floor as he tried to understand and accept the revelations Serina was sharing with him. Why would God entrust him with the fate of the world?
Because you are good. He created you for this purpose and He knows you are strong enough to withstand the trials.
Serina’s words floated through Euan’s mind and warmed it. He felt her faith in him and the absolute belief that God had sent him to cleanse the world of evil. He met her bright blue eyes and tightened his hold on Krisi.
His mind swam with possibilities, but it settled on one thing, through him there would be made and army.
“How many children are we expected to have?” He said in a strangled tone.
Serina laughed. The musical sound made his heart swell with love and made him feel a peace that had eluded him for so many years. He felt the darkness weaken further and shrink from the lilting notes of her laughter. He felt the darkness shiver in his mind and he knew, with a certainty he thought to never achieve, that he could conquer this evil that had invaded his mind.
Euan allowed his eyes to fall to the silvery head of his mate who he held in his arms. He would do nothing differently. He would walk through Hell if it meant sparing Krisi the pain and torment. He dropped a kiss to the top of her head.
“Krisi, my love, do not cry. This is the will of God. Nothing can change that and we would not want to if we could. You are worth it to me. I would choose it again, fully knowing the consequences. I do not regret this.”
Her moist eyes probed his own as she searched for the truth in his words. Her smile told him she had found what she sought.
“I love you Euan, with all that I am I love you.”
“Aye lass.” Euan dropped his face to Krisi’s neck and inhaled deeply. He caught the faintest hint of a new life and wanted to roar with joy. Neither of them noticed when Serina slipped from the room and neither of them saw the secret smile she wore.
“I love ye too lass, both of ye.”
“What do ye mean both…”
Euan silenced her with a finger to her lips.
“Ye carry my child Krisi. Our first little warrior is on the way.”
Krisi gasped. “How do you know this?”
“It is part of my gift. I can smell the new life. Most can smell their own though. I can smell the life of any new creature.”
“Can you tell me if it will be a boy of a girl?”
“Aye I can. Do ye want to know?”
Krisi pushed to her knees so she could look into his eyes.
“Yes! I want to know!”
“’Tis a boy. Ye’ll give me a son Krisi.”
Krisi threw her arms
