Chapter 144: Hard Truths(Part Four)

"You already agreed to wait until next year's trials, Skye! Are you seriously going to go back on your word to me AND Maevis?!" Tidas practically hollered at his wife.

"I know what I said, but it depends on you! If yer tryin' to do the raid this year, then I have to participate this year!" Skye yelled back.

"I don't control When it'll happen, Skye! It's just when the opportunity will present itself! If I get concrete evidence that my uncle is somewhere specific, I have to move then. It's not about anything other than that!" Tidas was gripping the sides of the bathtub in anger; denting the metal and leaving hand markings as he spoke.

Skye stood up from the bath water and turned to face her husband. She was furious he hadn't even let her explain her plan. He'd instantly snapped at her declaration to enter the Mage Trials. She knew that he wouldn't be happy about it, but she felt she had no choice.
