“Come with me,” Tay says just before landing right in front of me on the edge of the balcony as I was enjoying some peace and quiet after another long day of training and helping making up baskets of food to store in the basement of the academy. Most of the children and people unable to fight have been moved in now, and we are so close to the war that I can almost feel it in the air. Yesterday, I spent the entire day trying to call the fates to me, like Casella and Cirro suggested, but in the end, nothing happened, and I felt stupid for wasting an entire day. I’m pretty sure Tay was laughing at me the few times she came into the bedroom with one of the guys.

“So you’re speaking to me again?” I ask her, raising an eyebrow.

“You are stupid,” she tells me, being annoying once more.

“That’s so nice of you, Tay,” I sarcastically reply.

“But you came to the fates in the end. I want to take you somewhere,” she tells me.

“How are you connected to the fates, Tay?” I ask her. “I’ve never understood you, and I would like it if we could get to know each other better, because like it or not, you are part of my pack.”

“We were one of the first creatures in Frayan when the fates came here thousands of years ago. It was our land, and we were happy with the other creatures that are all but extinct now. We lived happily by the fates’ and their descendants’ side until Queen Lilyanne. I escaped, by chance, when no other of my kind did. I hear the fates call, because like you, our blood is connected,” she explains to me. “Many of the creatures of Frayan are dead or close to it, and I do not want to be alone.”

“I’d like us to be friends, you know that?” I ask her. “I want you around for a long time more.”

“In the future, we may be friends, yes,” she replies, lifting her head up in a snotty way.

“Would it help if I say you are my family, Tay? You are more than welcome to live with our pack for the rest of your life. I know Rick, Josh, Mich and Nath feel the same way I do. We are all connected,” I tell her, being nice, and she seems somewhat surprised by it. “I’m not taking them from you, but if you throw anything at me again, I will throw it right back.”

“I’d like that. Family,” she replies with a little smile. It’s good to see her smile.

“Family,” I say, holding my hand out for her. She steps onto my hand, and I feel like we have finally come to some kind of truce. “What did you wish to show me?”

“You must fly up to the stars,” she tells me, and I frown; that is a long way up. “Trust me?” she asks, and I know I need to in order to prove that she is family to me.
