|---|
I knew it all from the first time I saw Daemon. I might have been born knowing that he was out there for me somewhere. I knew from the first time I saw him that he belonged to me in a way he had never belonged to anyone before. I knew that and I knew that I loved him and would never ask anything of him. Even when I was twelve, I knew that he had scars on his soul and he had scars on his heart. It was hard not to see all of that. I was Witch and I was a Queen. I was his Queen, but there were some things he didn't want me to see. He felt shame over the things he had done in his life even when I held no condemnation for those acts. Everything has a price and those bitches he killed had owed that price that they paid. He couldn't hide all of those things about himself. Not from me.
His eyes told the story of a man who had been so twisted around and tormented that he had honed himself into a weapon that was as brutal as the man was beautiful. Daemon is a very beautiful man and I have always felt that way. His Eyes told Witch the story of the creation of The Sadist and how he had been used and tortured from the time he was very young. In spite of all of those things that those twisted bitches had done to him all of his life, he shattered his crystal chalice in order to save me. He shattered himself to chase me deeper into the Abyss than was safe for him. He was my friend and he loved me that much.
I lost him that night. I lost him for several years because my mind locked him away when in locked away the memories of the brutal attack on me that night by one of Dorothea's pets. He saved me and I forgot him. Because of that, he believed a lie when told I was dead and he became trapped in the Twisted Kingdom for eight years. HIs love for me cost him thirteen years of his life and eight years of his sanity.
But there are other things that I see in the stories located in Daemon's eyes.
In his eyes, I see the man who waited for a dream for 1700 years. In his eyes I see the man who pledged himself to a Queen that he didn't know but would always serve -- even before she was born. In his eyes, I see a love that is stronger and hotter than any I have even read about. In his eyes, I see the man, the Warlord Prince, the Sadist, the Queens Weapon.
In his eyes, I see the story of the man who risked his place among his family, friends and Court... all for love of me.
Whenever I start to have second thoughts about who I am and why I'm fighting this battle or dealing with this crisis, I read the stories in his eyes. Those stories remind me that I would reshape the Realms if I had to in order to make sure this man continues to be safer than he has ever been. For the love of Daemon, I would risk myself all over again to purge the realms of those like Dorothea and Hekatah.
