    Summary

    “Are you ready?” Jester says, her face more somber than Essek has ever seen it. She holds her hands over his head, prepared to cast.

    “I…” He takes a breath. Then another. “Yes. Yes, I am ready.”

    [In which Caleb and Essek choose to forget, but somehow find their way back to each other all the same.]

    Summary

    To the naked eye they look no different from ordinary trinkets, lucky charms perhaps, simple objects the dead often keep on them in the grave.

    Maybe they are. Maybe it’s Zagreus that makes them hold power.

    (concept: god's keepsakes and blessings change zagreus' appearance and behavior during an escape. thanatos takes notice.)

    Summary

    Essek swallows hard, struggling against the conflicting signals that his mind and body are giving him. “And you would have me kneel and grovel at the feet of your king instead,” he says, managing to keep his voice level and tone acidic through sheer force of will.

    Caleb smiles, a flash of sharp white teeth, and a low, warm chuckle leaves his throat. “King Dwendel has enough sycophants,” he dismisses easily. “But, if you ask very nicely, perhaps you can kneel at my feet instead.”
