“Take your hands off her, Sinclair told the guy behind me, Or they'll write books about what I'll do to you.”
“Take your hands off him.'
She did.
'Unshackle him.'
Lucien's skin drained of colour as Ianthe obeyed me, her face queerly vacant, pliant. The blue stone shackles thumped to the mossy ground.
Lucien's shirt was askew, the top button on his pants already undone.
The roaring that filled my mind was so loud I could barely hear myself as I said, 'Pick up that rock.'
Lucien remained pressed against that tree. And he watched in silence as Ianthe stopped to pick up a grey, rough rock about the size of an apple.
'Put your right hand on that boulder.'
She obeyed, though a tremor went down her spine.
Her mind thrashed and struggled against me, like a fish snared on a line. I dug my mental talons in deeper, and some inner voice of hers began screaming.
'Smash your hand with the rock as hard as you can until I tell you to stop.'
The hand she'd put on him, on so many others.
Ianthe brought the stone up. The first impact was a muffled, wet thud.
The second was an actual crack.
The third drew blood.
Her arm rose and fell, her body shuddering with the agony.
And I said to her very clearly, 'You will never touch another person against their will. You will never convince yourself that they truly want your advances; that they're playing games. You will never know another's touch unless they initiate, unless it's desired by both sides.'
Thwack; crack; thud.
'You will not remember what happened here. You will tell the others that you fell.'
Her ring finger had shifted in the wrong direction.
'You are allowed to see a healer to set the bones. But not to erase the scarring. And every time you look at that hand, you are going to remember that touching people against their will has consequences, and if you do it again, everything you are will cease to exist. You will live with that terror every day, and never know where it originates. Only the fear of something chasing you, hunting you, waiting for you the instant you let your guard down.'
Silent tears of pain flowed down her face.
'You can stop now.'
The bloodied rock tumbled onto the grass. Her hand was little more than cracked bones wrapped in shredded skin.
'Kneel here until someone finds you.'
Ianthe fell to her knees, her ruined hand leaking blood onto her pale robes.
'I debated slitting your throat this morning,' I told her. 'I debated it all last night while you slept beside me. I've debated it every single day since I learned you sold out my sisters to Hybern.' I smiled a bit. 'But I think this is a better punishment. And I hope you live a long, long life, Ianthe, and never know a moment's peace.'
I stared down at her for a moment longer, tying off the tapestry of words and commands I'd woven into her mind, and turned to Lucien. He'd fixed his pants, his shirt.
His wide eyes slid from her to me, then to the bloodied stone.
'The word you're looking for, Lucien,' crooned a deceptively light female voice, 'is daemati.”

“Take your rainbows
Oh! high monsoon instead cloak me and her with rain
so that we can hide from that tragic fate
Wrap us in one of those grey clouds
lets us sail through that gush and storm
hide us in these thunder and black clouds
until the end of time
or
until we melt too and drip through these very own skies
sell my soul to feisty east winds for more time in her arms
because
I know no separation
only death
oh! melancholy rain
oh! melancholy rain
do I have to cry louder than the thunder itself
and lose my ability to utter 'love you'
and be labelled as betrayer in front of her confessions
I better be unborn and with no existence
If there is no being; how can there be separation.”
