I’m ensnared in Amelia’s stare. My whole body vibrates from her energy, and for not the first time, I question my plan.

If she is this potent in my realm, she will have full reign of any reality she can conjure in the Dreamscape. I recoil from the thought, but not from her. She is not Rhea and I will not treat her as such.

She steps into my personal space, making my pulse jump with excitement. Does she feel the same pull I do? Do I make her heart sing?

She is everything I could have hoped for, and everything I’ve ever feared. If this woman ever became my enemy, I would be completely lost to her will.

The same thing could happen if she ever became my mate. She has not accepted me as such yet, but I wonder if I should continue to pursue that course so hastily.

I should allow her the chance to train, to prepare for the experience of the Dreamscape in bits and pieces. I’m not being fair to her, but what other option do I have?

If I delay until she is ready, the Erobos will likely have completely infiltrated the Dreamscape, no longer relegated to the icy lands of the Metaspace. The numbers Daegan had at his command startled me. They were physically present, not mere transmissions through dreams. They have found a leak in the Metaspace, but how? Who is helping them cross over?

With so much at risk, I must consider more than my growing feelings for Amelia.

I give her a small smile. “There are a few things I’d like to share with you.” She nods, so I continue, “As I’ve told you, the whole of Earth is in danger. If the Erobos can connect with enough mortals, they could obtain enough energy to create a portal to the Earth and then to the Netherworld, once again. Before our numbers fell, we managed to erect a barrier that prevents access to the Earth through the Netherworld, but it is weakening as we speak. Only Oneiroi life force can pass through. You must become Oneiroi before you can free us. You must accept this life and me for my plan to work. The Oneirio were created to protect the souls of men. Even if you try to traverse the Metaspace as mortal and you manage to bypass the barrier, in the Netherworld, it is easy to lose track of how many times you might splinter. Without a complete soul, humans are relegated to the Netherworld forever, which wouldn’t be so bad if the place wasn’t infested with the most unsavory creatures from every world that has ever existed. Thanks to Volos, the Netherworld is more nightmare than paradise now.”

When Amelia takes another step toward me, I head for the door. I have no desire to stay in this place. I’d rather go skinny dipping in a piranha-infested swamp.

“Hey,” she huffs. “Where’re you going?”

“I have work to do,” I tell her, not bothering to glance over my shoulder.

Her voice deflates to a harsh whisper.
