Helena wasn’t sure where the others had gone off to but she should have known better than to worry. It would have been impossible to miss the crowd of people and creatures milling about near the docks. Starshine’s white fur would have been enough of a beacon on its own. Feeling her mistress, Starshine let out a roar of greeting. Those nearest to the Talyrian jumped, not yet seeing Helena in the distance.

Seeing Starshine made Helena yearn to feel the wind in her hair. Unable to fly, Helena took the only option available to her and set off at a run.

“I think we’ve caused enough chaos here for the time being.”

Darrin turned toward her as she closed the distance between them. “These days you seem to bring chaos with you wherever you go.”

Helena frowned. “Not true.”

He raised a brow. “It is most definitely true.”

“You seem to have forgotten that I’m not a six-year-old girl any longer. I’m strong enough that I can kick your ass, with my fists or with my magic. Do you require a demonstration?”

Titters of laughter met Ronan’s murmured, “I can vouch for that.”

Darrin tutted. “My my my, aren’t you quick to threaten violence these days. How quickly a minor victory goes to your head.”

Helena sputtered, ready to defend her honor but Von wrapped an arm around her waist, whispering, “Ignore him.”

The urge to stick her tongue out at Darrin was strong. She turned from him instead. “Gladly.”

Darrin laughed at her, and Helena was just about to zap him with a little lightning when Timmins drawled, “If you two are quite done…”

“He started it,” she muttered defensively, feeling chastised even though she hadn’t actually done anything.

“Of course he did,” Timmins agreed, making the others laugh.

Joquil stepped forward, and Miranda handed him one of the unused Kaelpas stones. His warm amber eyes met hers. “Are you ready to go, Kiri?”

“Are you?”

It was a loaded question. This would be the first time he’d return to his childhood home in almost thirty years. Who knew what, or who, would be waiting for him.

Joquil nodded, “As much as I can be.”

The Circle moved in close, getting into position. Helena looked around, partially to ensure that everyone was accounted for, but also to get one final look at her cyclone which was spinning just off the horizon. She was leaving the Ebon Isle in capable hands, but a part of her would remain behind to stand guard.

“Then let’s—”

Before she could finish, the familiar feeling of being turned inside out was upon her. When she was able to open her eyes again they were surrounded by a new kind of sea.

“Welcome to the Forest of Whispers, Kiri.”
