The Final Redemption by Michael Manning (little red riding hood ebook free .txt) 📕

had been swallowing alarge mouthful of roast beef, and I almost choked.I have no idea in hell how to answer thatone, I thought to myself. “I’m notentirely sure,” I admitted. “In the physical sense, I think no, butbecause of our shared origins, and your presence here now, I thinkit would be safe to call you family.”

“How does my location relate to thequestion?” she asked.

Penny gave me an amused look butdidn’t attempt to help, so I continued slowly, “I meant that sinceyour parents chose to send you to us to care for, you are family.Family is about more than blood. Family is more about people caringand supporting one another.”

“She’Har do not have‘parents’,” said Lynarralla solemnly. “That is why I amhere.”

It took me a moment tofigure out how to continue. “Exactly, so we’re sort of like fosterparents. Caring for you will bring us all closer together. Ibelieve that’s why Tennick sent you here, so that you could learnto understand humans, and perhaps vice-versa.”

“I am not sure about yourreasoning. I don’t think I have any emotional attachment to yourfamily, but I do not have enough experience to judge these thingsyet,” she answered.

She’s honest to afault, I noted, but I had no idea how torespond. Fortunately she didn’t wait for me to continue theconversation.

“You bear the loshti. Can you tell mehow Tennick became one of the She’Har?”

Everyone at the tablestared at me with new interest. I rarely spoke of memories that theloshti gave me. Penny kept her eyes on her food, but I could tellshe was listening intently. Matthew and Moira leaned forward withundisguised curiosity, while Conall watched them, unsure what thesudden change of mood meant. Irene continued to rearrange her foodin the hope that we would think she had eaten more than shehad.

“That’s a long story,” Isaid, considering how to answer her question. “To answer it fully,I will need to tell you about his early days, when he was stillhuman.”

“I am patient,” saidLynarralla.

“Very well,” I replied, pushing myselfback from the table a bit to make room for my full stomach. “I’llstart by telling you about Tyrion…”
