[Cressida 1]
Every day that went by without securing her sister’s title saw a little more of Cressida’s sanity slipping away. The very idea that such an insignificant, worthless mare would dare call herself Empress was appalling! Only fools would ever follow her, and it was fools that kept Asterie’s retinue full. For years Cressida had worked tirelessly to build her numbers. Gathering a following wasn’t difficult; her parents had done well by building the rift between their daughters to such a fever pitch that the ‘kingdom’ was already divided. Still, she needed to retain them, and that was…difficult. She was much less charismatic than a kinder mare and without that love she needed it’s equal; fear.
And for that reason alone Cressida had sought communion with devils. Great warlocks whose magic could create horrors, living shadows, and nightmares. Even the shifters themselves had been offered bargains to keep Cressida in power and once such shifter had even become her nightly partner before he’d been charmed. It was a weakness, allowing such a thing, but she’d gotten what she needed; offspring.
A secret, known only to a select few, but a spectacular weapon never the less.
[194]
