Lost Creek Hollow It was in Vienna

Amadeus did not answer right away. It was no mans place to decide when a child should die; they held too much value for that. But in truth, he didn't know what he had truly intended. He would tell himself that he planned to flee with the child, raise him the right way, but he knew that he just as easily could have crushed it in his jaws.

The children live, but I worry for them. He decides to tell her. To be raised around such beasts, the universe will surely punish them all. It wasn't fair, they all knew that, but it was the way of the world. Parents who refused to live the right way damned their own offspring.

But what is there to do? Amadeus is only one man.

Ambra, tell me. When do you think your husband will come?
