Sisa felt Iluku’s
arms loosening around her and she lifted her head.
Amarun laid on the
ground, in his human form again, but unmoving, without life.
The queen was
kneeled next to him, weeping.
Her husband’s arms
wrapped around her, consoling her.
It was too late, was all she could think, too late to
save his life, too late for everything.
On top of Amarun was a little heap of colorful
feathers.
Sisa could feel some remains of the Queen’s magic in
them.
It must have been her magic that had changed Amarun
back to man.
But it was not enough to save his life.
She folded her arms on her heart and walked next to
him, it scared her how still he was.
Her magic hovered around her weeping form.
- Do you love him, Iluku asked her.
- Yes, with all my heart, Sisa sobbed.
- As her godfather, Killa cut in, I would like to
propose a union.
- Who made you her godfather, Iluku asked annoyed.
- I did it all myself, Killa preened, and if you want
to be her godmother you better agree. Because I’m going to negotiate this
marriage now!
- A marriage, Sisa’s lips trembled, how can there be a
marriage when he is dead?
- That depends on you all, Killa answered, and on how
much you are willing to sacrifice, girl.
The Queen and the King turned around to watch her.
She could feel their eyes taking her in and calculating
her value.
- Does she have permission from her parents, the King
asked.
- As her godparents,
we will take care of that, Iluku answered.
- What does she need to do to save my son, the Queen
cling on to her husband’s hand.
- The same thing you did, Killa answered, sacrifice
her magic for her love.
- I will do any sacrifice for him, Sisa searched
around to find her magic.
- Not before the marriage deal is settled, Killa cut
in, I want you well provided for. My goddaughter will not need for anything.
And luckily we have a whole lot of witnesses here.
He smiled to the warriors that had gathered around
them.
- So, what do you say, he looked at the King and the
Queen, do we have a deal.
- I know she loves her, the Queen answered, and she is
a crafty and intelligent girl, hardworking too. I agree.
- So do I, the King nodded, may they find happiness
together.
- What you are waiting for girl, Iluku encouraged
Sisa, you know what to do!
Sisa kneeled next to Amarun’s silent body and touched
his cheek.
It was so cold and still, like everything in him.
She let go of her heart and magic, loosing herself in
them.
- Come back to me, my love, she whispered, come back
to me!
