The camp is buzzing with activity long before the sun comes up. I should be exhausted, having stayed up so late with Ezra the night before, but I'm not. Instead, I'm fully energized, ready for what's coming. Today, I will have my daughter in my arms again. Everyone else has looks of anxiousness and apprehension on their face, unsure of how today will unfold. But not me.

I know exactly how it's going to end.

With Olivia, safe and sound again.

Valetta and the others are up early as well. By the time Ezra and I slip from his tent to find food, they're already there, talking with the Fae as they eat. Valetta waves me over, so while Ezra joins the other dragons, I sit with the witches. Everyone seems on edge, but Valetta ignores them, quizzing me on the magic I've learned over the last couple of days.

I wish I had more time to study and practice, but there's nothing I can do about that. Ezra mentioned the Fae's magic, and I long to sit and talk with them and compare notes. I bet they could teach me as much, if not more, than Valetta. I'm so far behind everyone else. Maybe if the coven hadn't bound my powers, I'd have a better chance.

But going back in time isn't one of my newfound powers, I must absorb as much as I can over breakfast and hope two days of cramming will be enough. It has to be. I'm willing to die trying to get my daughter back. This is my one chance.

By the time everyone moves out, I'm not feeling any more confident. Part of me really wishes I had something to soothe my nerves. Deep down, I know that would just dull my senses and reactions, so I just suck it up.

Another part of me wishes I had Ezra by my side, but he's with the other dragons, leading the main charge against the compound.

After everyone eats, we trek to the compound, arriving outside the perimeter just before the sun comes up. My heart pounds in my chest, knowing, just how close we are to Olivia. I want to rush in and get her back, but for some reason, we stop. I can see Ezra with the other dragons at the front of our group, standing around talking, but I can't make out what they're saying.

"There's a barrier around the compound," Valetta says in a low voice. She's watching the dragons, as I am. Her eyes are squinted, and I wonder if she's reading their lips or if she can really hear them. "They're discussing how to penetrate it. They can break it with sheer force, but the one named Lex is worried it'll use up too much of their strength. The Fae woman, Katia, doesn't think they have enough of her people to break through it either."

Merida, Nellie, and Ethyl look over at Valetta and frown. I wonder what they're thinking, but before I can ask, Valetta lets out a sigh.
