An Ember In The Ashes[]
Zak is always with Marcus, closer to him than his own shadow. At the graduation ceremony, Zak, Marcus, Helene Aquilla, and Elias are chosen by the Augurs to compete in the Trials to determine the next emperor. During the First Trial, Marcus and Zak found each other because they were led to each other by someone other than the Augurs and the Commandant. Zak and Marcus have been trained to shield their minds from the Augurs. As Zak and Elias leave the infirmary at Cain’s insistence, Zak tells Elias that “all that Tribal rubbish about jinn and efrits, ghuls and wraiths, it’s not rubbish.[1] He then tells Elias that they’re coming for them. He asks Elias to protect Helene and that it’s the only thing he’s good for. Elias asks why he cares about Helene because Marcus has tormented her for years and he did nothing. Zak replies that the worst thing about the Trials is that he was so close to leaving Marcus behind forever and being free of him. Elias asks why he goes along with everything Marcus does if he doesn’t like him. Zak replies, “We’ve been together for so long. I don’t know who I am without him.”[1]
