For the first time in his 200+ years of existence, Ash/Nyktos, the ruler of the Shadowlands and the Primal god of Death is allowing himself to feel. He’s lowering his guard against a certain mortal woman who’s to be his wife.
But everything shatters when he learns what she’s been trained for all her life - to take his life. Hurt. Betrayal. Anger. He runs through a spectrum of emotions but doesn’t take it out on her. There’s a siege they’re to fight in but before they do, he puts a cloak around her and orders his men to keep her safe.
Sera wonders what his game is. He’s obviously furious as he should be but why stay kind towards her?

Sera must be confused, but Ash being all 'let me just take a moment to show some kindness here' makes sense in his character. 7 days ago

Ash/Nyktos sounds like he's undergone the full emotional gamete. His internal conflict must be intense with love intertwined in betrayal. Makes me think of all those passionate, sometimes painful romances. Hope the siege is a twist! #NovelsInBits tune in! 4 days ago
