But the other half of me says I don't want to share it with the enemy, and then I have to work out who the enemy is. I mean, look at what we have,\" he said, pointing outside at the lushness of their mountain, even in the winter haze. \"And look how little they have down there. And why don't I care?\" Yata laughed. \"Well, from where I'm sitting, it looks as if you do care, Lucian,\" she said. \"Too much in one place, not enough in another, and wouldn't it be simpler if we all shared? Yes, it would be so simple to share. But there's no place for being simple when blood has been shed and the people we love have been torn from us. But forgiveness has to start somewhere. It started with Phaedra. The Monts learned not to hate all Charynites because of her. I learned. Because you may not have seen it, my darling boy, but I hated with a fierceness I can't describe. And do you want to hear something that was breaking my heart, day after day? I forgot the faces of my granddaughters in all that hatred. Hatred smothers all beauty. Beloved Isaboe has little resemblance to her older sisters, but your Phaedra - she made me remember those precious, precious girls, and I wasn't angry anymore. I just missed them, and it's the beauty in here,\" she said, pointing to her chest, \"that made me remember them. Her beauty.”",
