THE WELL OF ALL SOULS
Caemorn drew in a deep breath. Ghosts had a smell. Or rather, the
energy they emitted did. Ozone. That sharp scent given off during a
rainstorm after a crack of lightning hit the ground. He breathed in the scent
deeply, relishing it. For it was the smell of power.
“How many are there?” Balthazar asked. “They’re like a–a sea of
ghosts. I can’t tell one from another!”
Caemorn glanced over at the Eyros Vampire and felt a faint stab of
amusement. Balthazar was unnerved. To a Kaly Vampire the Well of All
Souls was a gold mine. No, more than that. The possibilities with so many
ghosts here were limitless. All these souls could power his spells forever
even if he spent them with abandon. To all other Vampires, the well and the
spirits it drew were just a reminder of what they wanted to avoid: a Second
Death.
“Countless,” Caemorn answered with a shrug. “It is said that every
being comes through here at least once.”
“Why? What purpose does this place have?” It was Christian who asked
that.
Christian’s silver eyes reflected the blue-white glow of the spirits. He
was fascinated, not afraid. That was good. While it was clear that Christian
was cautious, he did not have the atavistic fear most others did being this
close to true death. He wondered how an Eyros could have the soul of a
Kaly.
“None can say,” Caemorn answered. “There are theories, of course. But
theories are not true. The Well of All Souls is beyond comprehension.”
Fiona made a sound like a cat sneezing. “You don’t believe that! You
believe you can know everything! So what is your theory, Caemorn? Or do
you want to hoard it to yourself like dragon treasure?”
Her gaze was on the well, too, but she showed none of Christian’s
fascination for it, but she didn’t look as unnerved as Balthazar either.
Strangely, she appeared as if she recognized this place and didn’t like it.
Both she and Balthazar supposedly had been reincarnated. They must have
come here. Did she faintly remember it?
“If you’re going to be Christian’s teacher, lying isn’t a good start.”
Balthazar’s keen gaze was back on him. “And, you should remember, that
there are no secrets from me. I can just pluck them out of your head.”
Caemorn grimaced. “That is why no one likes Eyros Vampires.”
“My heart bleeds,” Balthazar sneered. “Now, start being honest.”
Another grimace. Kaly Vampires liked their secrets. It was what gave
them an advantage over one another. But not here. At least. He would have
to see how much he could hide from Balthazar.
“Nothing, Caemorn. You can hide nothing,” the Eyros Vampire said
with a significantly lifted eyebrow.
Caemorn grimaced again. But then he shook off this detriment. He was
never one to wallow in what he could not change. He went with whatever
obstacle presented itself. He tented his fingers. Perhaps telling someone his
theory would be useful. Pressure-checking his own ideas. Though Balthazar
was a fool–this earned him a sharp glance–Fiona and Christian might have
some insight.
