Page 28 of Eternal Ruin
“You think you’re special because he took you along,” Samson said.
“I am special. More special than you,” Taj muttered.
Samson hissed, fisting Taj’s shirt and pulling him close. “He will abandon you soon.”
With one last glower thrown at Susenyos, Samson left the room, retrieving his metal glove and sliding it on as he went. Taj whistled, shaking his locs. “He’s still obsessed with you.”
Susenyos worked his jaw and went to his closet, fetching his silver weapon, the wavelike edge sharp against his touch.
“I’m meeting Arin. Then I’m taking my people back from Samson.”
Taj nodded slowly, taking in Susenyos’s dangerous tone.
“Tell us what to do.”
Susenyos slid the weapon into the hidden stitch inside his Delarus-made coat. The blade settled next to his copy ofEbid Fikerby Chimand Alizo.The Mad Lovers. He traced the edge of the cleaved grapefruit on its hard cover, anchoring himself. Every battle, he carried this book and his dragon blades with him.
If he died, though Susenyos had no plans on it, he wanted to be buried with this book. That way, he would see her again—the Sage that saved his life. The one he’d painted a portrait of and hung in the artifact room. Truly know if she was real or not.
