Carnelian listened intently to Felindra's story.
For a moment he was quite, but he didn't look away from her. After a moment, Carnelian gathered Felinda in his arms, pulled her across his lap, and held her closely. One hand caressed her hair.
“My shadow,” he said softly. “The gods made us so that we don't remember our former lives for a reason. Reincarnation tells us that we need to build a better future, not only for our children, but for our future selves. We're not meant too live in the past.
“I remember little of our viziers, but I know they had power too. I don't think Kalissa was to blame for those things. I think Aliel manipulated Kalissa with her essence. She used Kalissa because she lacked the strength to destroy Erebus herself. I don't understand what Erebus said to you, but it was important. I think it was so important that you sacrificed your clean slate in order to remember it.”
