Story: Refusing the Call
Year: 990 FY
Characters: Deva
Warnings: References to parental death and potential assassination
Andrell has always been like my son. Mera is older--indeed, I am twenty-two years his elder, and only eighteen our parents' junior. And after Mother died, I cared for him.
I considered it. But I've played politics long enough to understand--he is Kellom's legal heir. I am not. That might make drastic change palatable. Besides, I do better following orders than giving them. And I know Andrell. If he survives, he will be great.
He is like my son. It breaks me, knowing his danger. But I believe in him, in our future.
We need him as our head.
