Capítulo 64: Always, Together or Apart  

~ HARTH ~

Harth gaped at Tarkyn's back—why had he told them? 'I shared that with you so we could understand each other,' she hissed through the bond, 'so you wouldn't come to our bond in ignorance. Why would you—'

But Elreth's face suddenly got very tight. "Is that… is that what's happening for you, Tarkyn? Is that why you can feel her this way?"

Tarkyn sucked in a breath. He glanced back at Harth who was trying hard not to show her anger. His eyes pleaded with her to understand before he looked back to his Queen. "I don't know," he said simply. "But it's possible. So I'm asking you to keep this in mind for both of us."

Everyone shifted on their feet and glanced at each other. Harth's heart sank, even in her anger, she wanted Tarkyn to succeed. Wanted him to convince these people. But it seemed like for every step forward they took, there was just another back.
