Mom, it’s time.
“Are you sure? Do you have a plan?”
Yes. Trust me. Do what you said you would do.
“Of course.”

She went then, to Desreal, because she knew she could do this. She knew she had to. She bent the Earth to her will along the way, letting the Lightning seize and strengthen it. For the first time, she used them in unison and embraced what she’d always labeled as cursed. Purple and white sparks flashed against her skin, against her feet, against the flowers and the rocks that formed at her touch.
Nyota thought of her sons along the way, and how this was as important for them as it was for her. It was mostly for Anatole because he’d been planning this for so long, but it was also for Renfield and Holden who were as different as night and day. It was for Choke, too, because she still loved him (oh, how she still loved him!) Somehow, even, it was for Requiem.
Her steps were light and silent, and were it not for the crackle of the Lightning coursing across her, he might have not noticed her. She knew the shard was active again – that a Wolf, even, had given her blood to make it whole. But she did not care about any of that now because someday, it would not be important.
“Betrayal,” she said, brushing past him without touching him. Already, the shard’s pull lured her in and she was hungry for it. But her Earth and her Lightning surged through her, planting gardens at her feet and through her mane and she thought of the twins. With a smile (not a wicked one, even, just a typical smile) she said, “I need you to do something for me.”
She tested the boundaries then, flexing her influence over him. Caught unaware, his defenses were thinner than usual. While she wasn’t sure exactly what she could do, she swayed her desires, her wishes for him, into her stronger Element and hoped that it would work.
