They didn\u2019t realize it was blood, of course, nor did their nursery maid realize they had slipped from their rooms to find their way into the dungeons hidden under the palace. How would she? This part of the Thief Kingdom was chained and watched by so many doors and spells and beastly stone guardians that the Thief King himself would be tried to enter unannounced. But such obstacles, when it came to curious children, were as easy to escape as maneuvering through a spider\u2019s web\u2014one only needed to be small enough to fly straight through.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So the three girls found their way into the bowels of nightmares, none the wiser of the threats lurking in the walls, peeking through cracks with salivating, toothy grins. Or if they were aware, none felt threatened enough to turn and retreat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cHere.\u201d Niya ran a bloody finger across her younger sister\u2019s pale face, setting loose a spiral design around the baby\u2019s plump cheeks. \u201cNow you can speak.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Larkyra, recently turned three, giggled.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">S<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">peeeeak<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,\u201d encouraged Niya. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can you say that? <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Speeeeaaak<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIf she could have, she would have,\u201d said Arabessa, pressing her rouge palms across her ivory nightgown. She smiled at the new pattern along the bottom of her skirts. At seven, Arabessa was the oldest of the trio, her skin white porcelain against her hair that spilled ink down her back.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cOh, how pretty!\u201d Niya held Larkyra\u2019s pudgy little hand as they walked closer to Arabessa.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cDo me next.\u201d<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finding another ruby pool that seeped from under a locked steel door, Arabessa slapped her hands into the still liquid. The shadow of her reflection rippled away as she coated each finger. \u201cThis color matches your hair,\u201d Arabessa said as she drew red flowers into Niya\u2019s gown.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cLet\u2019s paint Lark with it so she can match me too.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So enthralled in their game, none of the girls noticed a particular creature who stood watching, unchained in the shadows of the corridor. They were a soul with more deadly consequences at their fingertips than any of the beasts locked inside the cursed cells around them, yet the Thief King allowed them to roam free. Perhaps for moments such as these: to watch over those who could not yet watch out for themselves. Because though the creature might have been created in darkness, their lives had always bridged one of light.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The little one is rather round<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, said the brother wordlessly to his sister. It was an easily accomplished feat, given they were twins who shared one body, volleying back and forth for space in one mind.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is a baby. All babies are<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, replied the sister.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We were not.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That is because we were never a baby.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well, if we had the chance to be, I can guarantee we would not have been round.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The twins had many names in many different places. But in Aadilor, they were known simply as Achak\u2014ancient ones, the oldest beings this side of the Fade. Here they took on a single human form that shifted from brother to sister faster than crashing waves. Achak was taller than a normal mortal, with skin as black as the deepest part of the sea and violet eyes that spun galaxies. Their body was beautiful, but like most pretty things in Aadilor, it often masked a fatal touch.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A delighted shriek brought Achak\u2019s attention back to the sisters.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The girls stood in the center of a hall in the dungeon, where the path split four ways, leading to endless more complicated corridors. It was a dark, damp, place with barely a torch to light the passageways. Which was why a young, joyous laugh in such surroundings might have been more disconcerting than if it were filled with torturous screams.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cHow clever, Ara.\u201d Niya bounced on her feet. \u201cLark looks much better painted in spots. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What do you think?\u201d She spoke to her younger sister, who sat by their heels, playing with an ash <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">white stick. \u201cDo you like looking as fierce as a <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cheethuh<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bang. Bang. Bang. <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Larkyra hit the device on the stone floor, her white-blond locks twinkling in the torchlight as she cooed in pleasure at the sound.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThat\u2019s pretty,\u201d said Arabessa, finishing up the last circle beside Larkyra\u2019s ear. \u201cKeep going, Lark. You can make the song of our painting ceremony.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As if in response to her sister\u2019s request, Larkyra continued smacking the stick, the rhythm echoing down the snaking corridors. Only Achak seemed to realize the instrument Larkyra held was in fact a rib bone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These girls are most peculiar<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, thought the brother to his sister.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They are Johanna<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2019<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">s daughters<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Peculiar is only the beginning of what they are.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A wave of sadness entered Achak\u2019s chest, thinking of the girls\u2019 mother, their dearest friend.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But when you grew to be as old as they, such emotions held space and time less and less, and soon the melancholy was dashed away, a slip of a grain through a sand-fall glass.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I like them<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, thought the brother.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As do I<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, agreed the sister.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Should we stop their ruckus before they wake the rest of the dungeon and a guardian comes?<\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I fear it is too late for that.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A putrid stench rushed through the hall, adding a thicker layer to the prison\u2019s already decaying aroma.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThat\u2019s disgusting.\u201d Arabessa waved her hand in front of her nose. \u201cWhat dessert did you sneak after dinner, Niya?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThat wasn\u2019t me.\u201d Niya jutted her chin back. \u201cI think Larkyra messed her diaper.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The two girls looked down at their smiling little sister, still smacking the rib on the floor, before glancing back at one another.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe last canary to sing gets the broken wing!\u201d they shouted in unison. \u201cI said it first,\u201d Niya was quick to announce. \u201cYou change her.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe said it at the same time.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIf by \u2018at the same time\u2019 you mean I said it slightly quicker than\u2014\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A roar vibrated down the cavern, knocking both sisters unsteady.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhat was that?\u201d Niya turned in a circle, searching the multiple darkened halls.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhatever it was, it didn\u2019t sound happy.\u201d Arabessa crouched down to Larkyra, stilling her youngest sister\u2019s hand. \u201cQuiet, Lark. I think playtime is over.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Larkyra turned wide blue eyes up to her sisters. Most children her age were already talking, but not since her scream at birth\u2014which had changed all their lives\u2014did she utter more than a sound on a rare occasion. The girls had grown used to their younger sister\u2019s silence, knowing that though she might not yet talk, she understood a great deal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another growl followed by the slopping thud of a dozen heavy footfalls echoed toward them; a beast broke through the shadows of a passageway to their left.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As one, the sisters gasped.<\/span><\/p>\n<h6>Excerpted from\u00a0<i>Song of the Forever Rains<\/i>\u00a0by E.J.
