Her mother would never\u2026Oh, my Goddess. Did she have a brother? Did her mother have a son that Fel\u00edne didn\u2019t know about? Or her father? He spent so much time away from the palace\u2026 \u201cRailah?\u201d Impossible. It was not possible. Fel\u00edne flipped through memories furiously, trying to identify some clue. Some fragment to help her make sense of what was going on. It was like trying to find a single sentence in a thousand paged tome.<\/p>\n

There was no way. She would have known. She would have\u2014 \u201cRailah.\u201d Kal\u2019s deep voice penetrated. Her gaze snapped to his, the name he spoke forcing her off her path of thought. She almost looked behind her, but she was captured by his attention. Railah? She said the name in her head. Slowly. Again. A piece snapped into place.<\/p>\n

She felt bloodless. Lightheaded. \u201cMy\u2026my mother sent for\u2026my brother?\u201d Kal must have mistaken her horrified shock for relieved surprise. \u201cYes,\u201d he said slow, quiet, as though speaking to a frightened horse. \u201cYour mother wrote to Rask. She knew of your conscription. She did not want that life for you. Your brother did not want that life for you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd you\u2026\u201d \u201cI am a friend. Your brother\u2019s friend.\u201d Did he\u2026did he think she was someone else? The sister of his friend? Her eyes went wide. Dear gods\u2026he thought he had saved her. His friend\u2019s sister was selected to become a Fate, and he\u2019d staged a kidnapping to rescue her. But he got the wrong woman. Fel\u00edne gripped the coin around her neck so hard it bit into her palm. How did this happen? How could this have happened?<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re free now,\u201d Kal said in what was supposed to be a reassuring voice. \u201cNo Stronghold. No forced servitude. No more cloak of stars. You\u2019re free.\u201d Fel\u00edne gasped. A shaking hand raised to cover her mouth. Dear Goddess above. The cloak. Imogen\u2019s cloak. She was a fool. A damnable fool. And now she was here. The Prima of Asteros mistaken for a rescued Fate.<\/p>\n

And if she was here, what happened to\u2014 \u201cRailah?\u201d Tears pricked her eyes. Railah. The real Fate. She looked into Kal\u2019s face and saw a flicker of concern in his granite features. Oh gods, he truly didn\u2019t know. He thought she was her. Kal thought she was his friend\u2019s sister, Railah.<\/p>\n

He thought he\u2019d saved her from a terrible future as a Fated Mother. Her lip quivered. Kal regarded her a moment before he rose slowly to his feet. He didn\u2019t take his eyes off her as he stood. \u201cI am sorry I frightened you. We thought it best for you to remain unaware, in case something went wrong. There is a strong opposition to the crown in Meress.<\/p>\n

You will be safe there. You have my word.\u201d The Cozened.<\/p>\n

Cloaking Fate began as a tentative whisp in the depths of my unconscious imagination. I dreamt of a young woman in a dark dungeon bearing the impossible burden of fate. I did not know her name, her story, why she trembled in the shadows, nor even who thrust that responsibility upon her.<\/p>\n

I only knew that she carried it with grim resignation, accepting the sacrifice it demanded, wanting more than anything to cloak herself in the illusion of freedom. This is that story.
