No, I’m kidding. Logan showed me this show one time where they do
funny recaps, and yeah . . . anyway.
You know those times when you’re relaxing after a long day? You put
your feet up, thinking life can’t get any better? No? Yeah, well, me either. I
thought I’d experienced the worst thing that could happen the day
Rashearim fell. The world I knew crumbled, and my family was torn apart.
I thought, it can’t get worse, right? Xavier would have slapped me if I’d
said that aloud, but man, did I think it.
Samkiel, our king and loyal . . . You know what? I can’t even say loyal
because that bastard left us for . . . I’m getting ahead of myself. Anyway.
You think you know a guy, right? We’d partied together, fought side by
side, and even fucked in the same room. Don’t make that face. It is
necessary to blow off some steam after battle, and we had fought together in
several fucking wars. When you get so desperate for a release that you no
longer care your friend is across the tent, then we’ll talk.
Anyway, we’d spent hundreds of years with Samkiel before Rashearim
fell. After that, he changed, but I’d be a liar if I said it hadn’t started long
before. It had all begun with the change in Unir. Honestly, I should have
paid closer attention. To everyone.
Samkiel deserted us after the destruction of Rashearim. He left us
instructions on maintaining the rest of the worlds and then disappeared for
centuries. Then the fucker shows back up with a super hot—and I mean
quite literally will-burn-your-face-off—girlfriend.
Everything changed with Dianna, and I mean everything. She didn’t just
scorch a path of destruction across the world to avenge her fallen sister, but
she burned so damn bright she revealed secrets buried within our family
and ourselves.
Xavier, Imogen, and I were stationed on the remains of Rashearim,
completely unaware that Samkiel had not only come back but was working
with our archnemesis, the Ig’Morruthen—see hot girlfriend above.
Apparently, they were searching for a relic. But all of it went to shit, and
Dianna lost the one person she loved. Then, she tried to kill us all in her
devastation and grief. It was no joke. I quite literally held my own guts in
my hands.
