brilliant aura would’ve never survived the greywastes anyways. Killian will become stronger, and in time he will be strong enough to complete the tasks laid out for him.”
“You really think that kid is strong?” I had my doubts.
“Yes,” Elish replied back simply. “He is stronger than you would imagine. I did not send him to Aras just because he was pretty.”
I looked at him. “Why did you send him to Aras?” My brow furrowed, I actually had thought he had only sent him to Aras because he was cute and innocent. Good flesh for the Darkness to consume, that and to get him away from Garrett.
“Because he and Reaver belong together.”
“Like Silas and Sky?” Reaver was Silas’s clone, and Sky was his boyfriend before he had killed himself. The other born immortal, a man who Elish had told me had been... a bit of a jerk.
“Yes.”
I remembered back to when I had first heard Sky’s name. I was half-conscious during the conversation I had overheard between Elish and Silas. Silas was saying how much he missed him, how much he had loved Sky. He even got Elish to promise they would find out a way to clone him.
“Was Silas normal back then? When he had Sky?”
I pulled away a bit so I could look at him. Elish was on his side tracing a hand along my body. I was happy we got more time together, even though it was only because I had tried to smother Killian.
“I was not born yet, this was a long time ago.”
“He never had anyone else?”
My blonde chimera shook his head slightly. “No, we are his bishops, his pawns, his knights, and rooks... we are not his kings. He said if he was going to replace Sky, the man would have to be like no other.”
And he got this man, only to have Lycos and Elish both steal him before Silas knew he existed.
“Yeah,” I replied, “that’s why he’s pissed off about how things are turning out. His manufactured boyfriend loves someone else, hates him, and has the ability to kill him. I can see why he would be so upset.”
“Mm, you’re smarter than you look.”
I gave him a smile, and kissed his chest before he drew me close to him. “Remember I will be leaving in several hours. Reno is healed enough that I can deliver him to his new master. Though I will not be long, expect me back this evening.”
There was no stifling the yawn, but I managed a nod while I did. Skyfall was about a four hour plane ride from here on the Falconer, and Elish was still technically king while Silas recovered.
I got comfortable and closed my eyes, falling asleep to the feeling of him playing with the strands of my bangs.
And I stayed asleep.

Reno
The crutches I was getting used to, it was the slippers that weirded me out. I had never owned anything but boots, army boots if I could help it. Miller once wore sandals in the summer time and we beat him up for it. Slippers? They were like fluffy shoes that couldn’t grip anything and when you ran they went flop flop flop .
I couldn’t wrap my mind around Skyfaller logic.
I flip-flopped my sorry self into the sitting area of the apartment and sat down with a grimace of pain. The couches were fluffy and comfortable but the bullet hole in my gut wasn’t letting me enjoy the fringe benefits of being Elish Dekker’s prisoner. Walking was alright but once I had to scrunch my stomach to sit down it felt like someone was skewering me with a flaming sword.
“Do you need help, Master Nevada?”
I jumped in my seat, my teeth biting through another wave of dull pain. Luca pursed his lips apologetically though that wouldn’t stop him from doing it again.
Elish’s servant maid, or sengil as we were supposed to call them, was like a little mouse, quiet and small. A mouse that sneaked unnoticed from room to room to see if someone needed him.
The kid had been glued to me since I had been dropped off, half-dead and leaving a trail of blood behind me. He had a patient and docile nature to him
