Alys
this night is alive with the smell of insane —
Protection against the Void would be most helpful if it could be spread, but from Sunjata’s words - and the discomfort rolling off him in waves - it was clear that things wouldn’t be that easy. Even protecting one area was likely to be hazardous. If they succeeded once, would the Family allow them a second chance?
Biting her lip and shrinking next to her partner, she considered his words. Of course she wanted to protect her home and her loved ones - and she could see the benefit of protecting the Refuge, certainly. But New Haven deserved protection, too, and it had the skyport, besides. If they couldn’t easily get in and out, then that meant that others couldn’t, either, and if King’s End were ever in need of aid…
But if the Family was still a threat regardless of where they protected…
”I agree with Tal,” she said finally, her voice small but firm. ”If we’re only able to protect against the Void, but not the Family, then it seems like there’s still a threat no matter what we do. Do we know if protecting against the Void protects against infected people? Or are they still able to come and go? With all due respect, if the two of you were able to be infected, then it seems likely that there may be others.” After all, they weren’t all demigods, and if even the gods’ chosen weren’t safe, then what chance did the rest of them have?
