    Summary

    Occtis freezes halfway through the final somatic step. The windowglass is thin - poor quality, but clearer than the mirror behind him. Light from the tavern across the street provides a backdrop, casting a gentle golden glow over the sill. It must be a hallucination, though, or some impossible trick of the light, because the face hovering outside the window is - 

    - his own?

    His own. His own, but not his own. It's wrong, by which Occtis means it's right. The cheekbones aren't sunken; the flesh has blood beneath it; the eyes are just a normal shade of green. The brow - his brow? - is furrowed in frustration. The - his - eyes are red and welling with tears, which isn't right, because he definitely can't even cry anymore - 

    "Oh, fuck!" the other-Occtis says, making eye contact with him. "Oh fucking Hells, wait, it's actually you -" 

    ***

    Occtis receives an unexpected visitor.

    Summary

    Later, after the medics have checked him and the courtiers have fussed over him and Aranessa has been coaxed away at long last from his side, Julien's father will take him by the arm and lead him to the Davinos sitting room in the depths of the Golden Castle. He will pour his son a glass of brandy, and sit him down in an ornate leather chair, and he will talk to him, deep into the night.

    We have a blessing upon us, Raimond Davinos will say. He has pictured this conversation several times before, scripted it out painstakingly in his head, but this is not the way he planned for it to go. When we swore an oath to House Royce, we were...changed, magically. Permanently, and forever. This is the way of the fae. This is the magnitude of their gifts. And this is the depth of our loyalty. It lasts through life and lasts through death, all the way to the edge of the Golden Shore.

    ***

    Immortality can be a curse and blessing both. Julien Davinos learns this lesson the hard way.

    Summary

    If he were a better wizard, a smarter one, he'd know how to dispel it. He'd know - he'd know how to fight, or flee, or turn back time and tell Aranessa not to open the door. He'd know what to do right now, but he doesn't, he doesn't know what to do, he's just so scared. So Occtis thrashes in place, struggles wildly beneath the immaterial grip of a dozen shadow-soaked hands.

    It doesn't work. He isn't going to get away. But at least he won't have made it easy for them.
