She has the Netherstone, and Fever's so angry she could tear everything down, sear this place to nothing but scorched earth, if she could only move - if she could only speak. Usurper. Traitor. ORIN will drag them all to ruin.
(Father did love a good family squabble. Made him feel important, you writhing in the dirt for a scrap of his attention. Sustained on a new source, being fed on fresh air and clean water, there is distance now from that tainted source. From here, it all seems so contemptible of him. But it doesn't dislodge the ghost of his grip from your heart.)
And though none exists, none could exist, not even Efrain could will such a prop into place, Fever could swear she feels the squirming in her head. Something making its way through the ruined brain matter in her skull, making a home for itself. The tadpole with a source to take and devour, chewing its way through her mind, pulsing in her head, get out get it out get it the fuck out we can't do this again
Her terror is vast, and she cannot open her eyes, cannot even scream. She remembers, and the memory is enough.
