S2E24 - If I Am the Pyre That Burns

Episode Notes

We come, at last, to the first step in the emancipation of the Delta. So much has changed since we first entered months ago. The Anglers are poised against us and Dragomir, the erstwhile father I never anticipated to find here, fights on our side. Not an ally, per se, but the enemy of my enemy…

Old allies are a welcome sight. I didn't mean for my letter to be a summons, but I won't lie and say that I do not wish to have them here. Sorren, especially, after everything—

There's so much we still have to survive. We have to survive the assault against the Delta. We have to survive Sophia. We have to survive each other.

I plan to use the favor won from Dragomir to see him leave the Delta in peace, but if he and Ksana are determined to come to blows, I will use that favor to get him to stand down.

I do not doubt that he will do anything I ask, even if he puts up a fuss now. I just don’t yet know how far I can push him. He may claim to know me by sight, but he is a stranger to me. And we have miles to go before he can earn the right to call me ‘daughter’.
