Chapter 20

~Kamari~

Sleep didn't come easy tonight, although Koa slept like a log. Even though he wasn't fond of me punching him, he still wanted to be close to me. But I couldn't stand to toss and turn anymore, so I got up. The other two were asleep as well, so I guess I couldn't rest.

I couldn't stop thinking about what Calea said. How many miscarriages did my mother have before having me? If that was true, there was no way I'd have a DragonBorn in three months. Father set me up to fail. He knew it.

I sighed heavily. I went to the entrance and sat there, gazing at the stars. I knew this part of me had always been there, but with my mother, it didn't seem bad. It made sense even when others thought it was mad or dark when we spoke. No matter what she did, I still ached for her presence. I wanted things to make sense again. I missed the freedom of having someone that truly understood me.
