RETURNING TO SHUNNAR, LARA immediately turned to Kaliq, who was by her side. "I believe we have begun this campaign well, my lord. We shall again defeat the Twilight Lord, and all his ilk. I will not let the darkness come! I won't!"

The Shadow Prince took her into his arms. "You are a brave faerie woman, my love," he told her. She was brave, he thought. But her efforts this time were for naught. Still Lara was not a woman who would blindly accept a fate she could not live with for she was an optimistic creature of light and of hope.

He stroked the soft gilt-colored hair beneath his big hand. Soon the exodus would start, and the magic would slowly slip away from Hetar, leaving it vulnerable to the darkness. Kaliq wished it were otherwise, but Hetar now must accept the fate it had carved out for itself. Lara would resist until the bitter end, he suspected. But then they would depart into the Cosmos. His beautiful faerie woman would help to create a new world. She would shed tears for Hetar, but she would also be happy again because they would be together.

Lara looked up into his handsome face. "You are thinking," she said with a small smile. "I can almost hear the cogs and wheels within your head."

"You have devised a clever plot, my love," he told her. "If we can get Vaclar wed to the last of Grugyn Ahasferus's granddaughters, the bond between Hetar, Terah and the Dark Lands will be unbreakable at least for the generation to come. Kolgrim will not be pleased. I'm certain he meant to pit Hetar and Terah against one another to their detriment. But now, my love, you must return his bride, Nyura, to him. Our time is short, and he will take his revenge upon Marzina if you do not."

"I know," Lara replied. "I will go now. Do not come. He will not harm me."

And suddenly she was gone from his arms.
