The Legacy of House Auron

She's consumed by panic the moment she wakes.

It has her scrambling out of bed and practically crawling to the spot where her necklace lay discarded.

She snatches it up with something akin to reverence.

Still she doesn't fasten it around her neck.

No, she just strokes it lovingly, drawing comfort from the familiar feeling.

Lord Auron definitely wouldn't approve of how dependant on it she's become.

But then it's just another thing in the long list of things she's done since his death that he wouldn't approve of.

Her strategy for the rebellion is another item in that list.

That's fine though.

She may not be able to make him proud with a masterful strategy but she can protect his children.

She can continue what he started when he chose to take on that telepath himself.

They still don't know the true story behind the ever-cautious Lord Auron throwing aside all pretense and his life.

Everyone assumes he was just that determined to protect the kingdom.

The truth is Lord Auron would have had no issues watching the kingdom razed to the ground.

He had no love for it or the King.

No his only concern was protecting those he loved even if he hid that love even from them.

If the telepath had never uncovered that, they could both still be alive.

His love for his children put them directly in the crosshairs.

The telepath knew just where to push to get Lord Auron to back down.

But then he overplayed his hand.

Lord Auron refused to live with the constant threat to his children if he so much as stepped out of line.

He knew going into the battle that he wouldn't make it out.

He took risks he never would have.

For them.

She clenches the necklace tight enough that it bites into her skin.

She can't afford to have Kent do the same.

Things need to go according to plan.

She forces herself to unclench her hand.

It wouldn't do to break the pendant.
