It was a hard choice to make, and Lachlan knew it upset not just himself but Winter as well. The information they were given was shocking. If he had thought the matters with Salicia and her family had been enough of an issue, he knew this was going to be worse. Hearing about the history of the stones, what they were created for and who created them was somewhat a surprise. Lachlan knew of the other ways some beings lived, knew theirs was different, but he had never realised in the end how it was still all connected, and that it would seem it all lead back to Winter once again. Salicia had been power hungry, to create an army that would wipe many out. This was worse, this was a God, wanting to rid the world of mystical beings, to destroy everything.
That night, at the family home, Lachlan
