YOU ARE AN ENABLER AND I LOVE IT

Jean is thirteen when the Scourge in his blood makes its first appearance. Jean is thirteen and his faeder has ordered him to run from the small army coming after them but Jean can’t let Cor, can’t let the man who bore him, who provides for Jean despite the fact that Jean knows there are nights Cor goes hungry, face this menace alone.

Jean stays.

Jean fights with Cor, they slice through those who would do them harm with the ease of a knife through butter and for a moment Jean thinks that he hasn’t pushed past his limits.

Then he twists out of the way of an attack and his knee slides out of place.

Jean goes down and a sword is shoved through his back.

(Later Cor will tell Jean what happened, will tell Jean that Jean’s brown skin went ghastly grey. That his veins seem to strain against his skin and that the whites of Jean’s eyes went black.

Cor will tell Jean how the Scourge ate the remaining soldiers.

Then Cor will tell Jean the story of a Healer King and Storm Prince and call them family.)

(That night Jean dreams.

He dreams of the Draconian, he dreams of swords and curses and Jean remembers.

He tells Cor what happened of course, he could never keep anything from his faeder.)
