Feeling Lost

Sky sat at the fire on the shore of the Island of Legends with Aaron, Fifer, Ibrahim, and Clementi. Lhasa lounged behind them silently, inches above the ground, wanting to be supportive and respectful of their problems. Soon Talon flew down from his lookout on the top of the tallest tree in the middle of the forest, near Vido the golden rooster, to give them an update.

“The Revinir has turned back,” Talon said.

Aaron, who’d told everyone by now what Thisbe and Drock had done, looked up with a mixture of fear and relief on his face. “Really? Are you sure? The plan succeeded?”

“Yes. Thisbe and Drock met them. They stayed still for a while. Then the entire group turned around and began heading back toward the gorge.”

“Amazing.” Aaron dropped his head heavily into his hands. “I hope Thisbe’s okay. I fear . . .” He still wasn’t convinced that this was the best thing to do. They’d lost Thisbe once—had they just lost her again? Time would tell if the sacrifice had been worth it. “At least Artimé is safe for now.”

Fifer was glad the Revinir had turned back, but she was also hurt. Thisbe had gone off without her while she’d been sleeping—she hadn’t mentioned one word about it, or even woken her up to say good-bye. It seemed typical of late, but that didn’t make it sting any less. The twins used to go everywhere together, and Fifer couldn’t help but think about that. Obviously, Fifer, like everyone else, hoped Thisbe would be okay. But she couldn’t push the hurt feelings away, especially when she found out that Aaron had learned about Thisbe’s plan. Did Thisbe trust him over her now? Had he become her number one ally? Was Fifer’s importance in the family dwindling too?

“I don’t think the Revinir will hurt Thisbe,” said Clementi. “That wouldn’t make sense. Thisbe wasn’t being a threat to her, and why would she come all the way out here just to put an end to someone who wasn’t bothering her? I think Thisbe’s plan is genius. I wish I’d thought of it.”

Fifer wrinkled her nose.

“It was definitely smart,” Ibrahim said to Clementi. “But dangerous. The Revinir wants to use her to further her purposes in Grimere. I just hope Thisbe doesn’t have to do anything too horrible before she sees a way for us to come and help.”

“I also hope Drock is okay,” Aaron said. “Let’s not forget he made a big sacrifice too.”

Everyone nodded. It was easier to think Drock could hold his own against a dragon-woman than Thisbe could, so they weren’t quite as worried about him.

“Thisbe is very powerful,” Sky reminded everyone, including herself. “Especially now that she has Artimé’s magic components and has been trained—it’ll be an entirely different situation for her than before. She’ll fight back if and when she needs to. I was shocked to hear what she did, but after thinking about it, I believe it was the smartest and most generous thing any of us could have done.
