Story: The Vampire King's War
Well, turning back time is not something that even Daemon can do,Caemorn mused.
No… I mean, I don’t think so.Balthazar shook himself mentally. Besides, he wouldn’t change things even if he could!
But he regrets what happened in his absence,Caemorn pointed out. And he knows that Julian will be born. He could wait for him and--
No,Balthazar stated emphatically, certain of this though he couldn’t say why. My memories are not back, but I just know that Daemon couldn’t keep on as he was.
There was a pause and then Caemorn stated, In any event, the past is the past. It cannot be changed.
I just do not see any way to get Kaly to believe that this present is a good thing,Balthazar said.
Artemis never saw someone else’s idea as good. Always, he suspected it was not as good as it could have been unless he suggested it. It could not be possible unless he thought of it,Caemorn commiserated.
But in those words, a kernel of an idea was born. And suddenly, it was a whole ear of corn.
Why are you so excited? What is wrong?Caemorn’s alert voice calmed him.
I know how to do this. I know how to turn Kaly!Balthazar crowed.
What? How?Caemorn asked.
It is all thanks to you. Well, mostly--
Balthazar! Tell me. Calmly,Caemorn ordered.
I’m going to make Kaly think that everything Daemon did was THEIR idea,Balthazar laughed.
That they told Daemon to go into the sleep--
Yes! Yes! All of it! And what happened afterwards was simply their fear of Daemon seeing how things had gone all wrong,Balthazar explained, So he was trying all along to simply not let Daemon find out the truth.
That Kaly was wrong,Caemorn chuckled. Oh, my.
Yeah, and then--NO!
Balthazar let out yell as Moira’s teeth were at his throat. He understood at that moment what a fool he’d been with his Master issues. Kaly hadn’t missed his momentary inattention. Kaly had done what he would have done. Which was something small. Moving inches at a time closer and closer to him, but not letting him notice.
Not until it was too late.
