Chapter Fifteen

I ran until I was out of breath. I knew I needed to keep going, but my side was cramping and my body was half frozen. The light I’d been running towards seemed like a mirage. No matter how far I ran, I was not any closer. I reached for the crystal around my neck and played with it for a few minutes. I had no idea how it worked and apparently talking to it, kissing it and/or praying to it had no real affect. It still remained dark. Had I fallen out of favor with the twin queens when the Lunatishee killed the elven village? I wouldn’t blame them if that was the case. Since I’d been here in Sacrife, all I’d done was cause trouble. I guess my bad luck from home followed me to this place too. Lucky them.

The moon finally became visible as it shifted in the sky, and I saw the snow all around me. It went on forever. When I turned slightly to get my bearings, I fell backwards into the snow. There, to my right was a stream. How I had managed to miss it was beyond me. I couldn’t believe I’d been running beside it this entire time and never once fell into it. I shivered at the thought of the freezing water. I’d always loved to look at water and appreciated its soothing effect, but as I looked at this stream, it appeared black and there was nothing soothing about that. I cautiously continued to walk along the water’s edge, using it only as a guideline to stay on track.

I was still headed in the direction of the light in the distance, hoping it was leading me to a place where I could get warm. Have faith, Novi. The clouds shifted and moonlight once again lit my way. I looked up and smiled as I remembered the walking song from The Lord of The Rings my nanna used to sing to me. J.R.R. Tolkien was one of her favorite authors. I started to hum, careful to keep my voice low.
