Mother and Me

“Seize him, before he uses evil magic to bring her back to life. Or worse,” Eoghan said.

“All my life you were afraid of letting me near fire and nothing more,” Ciaran said. “Now you think my power extends to raising the dead?” He met his father’s gaze evenly.

“I don’t know what you are,” Eoghan spat.

Ciaran raised his eyebrows. “Did you know what my mother was before you married her? D’you think she was a monster?”


Fury crossed Eoghan’s face. “How dare you speak of –”

“My mother was a goddess. Would you treat her as you’ve treated me?”
