obvious as they looked at her, and then made eye contact to one another again. It was apparent
they communicated purely on a psychic level.
What is it? Akaisha demanded, sensing the silent conversation.
There is just one more thing, Akaisha, Kale added, looking at his brother, who nodded in
approval.
You are a reincarnation of Biele, Hysteon informed her. I m sure you have suspected, so has
Daegan. There are so many similarities. I know from reading your aura, you have had certain
instances of déjà vu within those castle walls. The feelings you experience with Daegan, the
giddiness you experience when he is near. You bring him fulfillment and peace of mind,
Akaisha. Something the man hasn t experienced since your death, Hysteon said.
After her-your murder, a darkness claimed Daegan, so strong that all who used to enjoy being
around him fled from him in fear of their lives. He would have embraced sunlight if it weren t
for Valaris, the one good deed he has accomplished in his entire blackened existence, Kale spat.
By Anubis! Akaisha exclaimed before passing out.
Chapter 17
Is she all right? Kale asked, mortified.
She ll be fine; she comes from a strong Egyptian vampire Pharaoh and a stubborn human
mother. There is nothing this daywalker can t handle, Hysteon assured. It isn t every day a
person discovers they have been reincarnated. It was bad enough we abducted her from all that
she knew, only to discover she was once a werewolf bride of Daegan. The visions and dreams
are tough enough on a person s psyche, continuously seeing things they do not wish to see.
What of Daegan? Kale asked. Will he make it through this? He has much to atone for.
And he will be fine! Hysteon exclaimed, anger in his eyes. He is paying the price for his past
sins. The only use Valaris had was convincing Daegan not to embrace the dawn. If it weren t for
Valaris killing Biele, Daegan wouldn t have embraced the darkness. It is a struggle for a vampire
to exist many years, watching those around him dying. It is a cold, bleak existence that I would
not wish upon my worst enemy.
Akaisha will be the one who can enlighten his soul once more. She will also protect Daegan
Castle from werewolves who wish us all harm. We must show everyone what Elizabeth and
Valaris have been up to all this time, Kale added. She s coming to.
Akaisha slowly sat up, with the help of Hysteon and Kale.
Easy now, daywalker. You can afford to rest now. Much has occurred in your life these past
few weeks, Hysteon coaxed.
Take me back to the castle, please, Akaisha said wearily. We need to bring this to everyone s
attention.
But first, we must come up with a plan. You know deep within your heart Valaris will not go
down without fighting, Hysteon admitted. He is a natural born warrior. Elizabeth will weave
her usual web of lies, so don t trust her.
Daegan is as well, Akaisha insisted, anger gripping her body.
Save your anger, Daywalker, Hysteon insisted. Do you know where the black crystal is
kept? he asked.
Yes, Elizabeth showed it to me a few weeks ago. She is quite confident that it is safe, Akaisha
told them. I have allies, people that trust me, and I them. Michael and his family are loyal to
Daegan. Adelaide and the cooks, even a few of the servants who knew Daegan before his dark
years, they will become our allies.
You must reach Komin, Hysteon insisted. He is on the council and has the ability to calm
Daegan. He will not have difficulty swaying other members of the council. You must not
approach Daegan until the last minute, as he is hot-tempered and will immediately seek
vengeance on Valaris, Hysteon warned.
Go, Akaisha. Tell Michael and his warriors our whereabouts. In the meantime, you must
retrieve the crystal from Elizabeth. She also has obtained a few spells and charms, so beware.
In addition, take this. Hysteon retrieved a pure white crystal from a pouch, and handed it to the
daywalker. This will give you the power to immobilize your enemies if they should happen to
gain the upper hand over you. In addition, you have the ability to cloak yourself from another s
sight.
What? Akaisha asked.
This crystal possesses the ability to slow your attacker down, if necessary. Simply wave the
crystal at them, and they will lack the power to move freely. The crystal will make you invisible
as well. You may very well need this if Valaris catches you alone. Although a daywalker, you
lack the strength of a full vampire. In addition, a few of the servants will not see things the way
we do. They may side with Valaris as well because he promised immortality.
