Chapter Seventeen

The smell of maple syrup permeated Lyra’s dreams and she sat up slowly, rubbing the sleep from her eyes. Her stomach flipped for a moment as she got that strange feeling of being out of place and not quite knowing where she was. She looked around the room. It was small and circular, the walls like the bumpy underside of tree bark. She sat in a small cottage-sized bed. To her right was a wooden night table with a plate of piled cakes. The cakes she’d made. She bit into one, relishing the sweet taste from the maple syrup and dense, buttery texture. The door opened, and in walked Terrin. He wore his rumpled clothes from the day before, his slightly dirty hair tied back again.

“Good morning. Are you ready to head back?” he asked. He stood with his hands clasped behind his back. Lyra tugged her blanket up on her chest.

“Do you know how to knock or did you never learn that particular manner in royalty school?” she asked him, head quirked to the side.

Terrin grunted. “I don’t have time to knock. Besides, I’ve seen all there is to see. Don’t pretend as if you’re shy now.” He gestured to her form with a sweep of his hand.

She glared at him and took another bite of cake. Terrin walked over and plucked one from the plate, promptly biting into it. He gave a hum of pleasure as he chewed and put the entire thing in his mouth on the next bite. Lyra watched him.

“For all the trouble they are, the Fae do know how to bake,” Terrin said through the mouthful of food.

Lyra smiled. “I made those.”

Terrin swallowed and reached for another. “So there is something you’re good at,” he said, surprise in his voice.

“I suppose you forgot about the time I opened a portal to an otherworldly realm to rescue your sister and the world?”

Terrin shoved another cake into his mouth. He swallowed before speaking again. “We need to find Frey so she can show us where Vale and Zuri reside. We need to discuss details for the plan of attack.”

Lyra shoved her covers aside and stood. She found her tunic on the floor and tugged it over her head and scanned the floor for her skirt. Terrin swiped it up from under the bed and held it behind his back. Lyra huffed, reaching for it. “I don’t think we should take all the Fae in just yet. Half will do for now until we figure out the rest,” she said as she reached for her skirt again.

Terrin held it out of her reach. “No, we need to take them all in now and they need to attack right away. We can’t know when Edwin will attack next and we need the Fae to fight with us. We need to transport into Ursa immediately, let them overthrow Ursa as soon as possible so they can join our army against your ex fiance. ”

Terrin threw the dirty skirt to the side and grabbed a parcel from a table behind him.
