Zys knew she would call him even before she did. He could not tell the entire future, but he knew enough on instinct, and added to the vision he’d seen when he first looked at Lena through the shadows of that mirror…he knew it was time. Time for her to start believing in what they could do together, time for her to turn to him.

Zys sent the others away; even Bastian. The men would need their sleep. Zys would stand watch over her room after their talk was over; he needed no sleep for he was not mortal, just as he needed no nourishment. It wasn’t to say he did not eat and did not sleep, for he could. His body did not need to, however, like mortals needed to replenish and refuel their bodies.

He stood tall, perhaps somewhat proud, holding his hands clasped behind his back as he walked into her room. Her bedchambers. Zys knew this was not her decorating—it was all so frilly and ridiculous and blue.

Lena had blue hair and blue eyes in his vision, so it was clear to him whatever the future held, it held more with Cailan.

Cailan was something Zys wanted to speak with her about, anyway. After she spoke of whatever it was she wanted, he would bring the prince up. During the coronation, Zys had watched him closely, waiting for something to slip, something to give. And slip it did.

He saw the shadow, saw the tiny wisps curled and rooted inside Cailan’s mind. Cailan was not alone in his body; he shared it with something old and ancient, a being powerful in its own. A spirit. It was most unfortunate Cailan had spotted him staring, and unless Zys wanted to upset the entire royal castle, he had to stop being so obvious.

Lena sat near the archway to her balcony, her legs draped over the round chair. Her thin, small body wore a flimsy nightgown of some sheen fabric, of course a light blue color. She did her best to look uninterested in him, though she was the reason he was here.

However, if push came to shove, Zys would admit he wanted to be here regardless of whether she’d asked for him.

Zys noted the blush that crept up her cheeks, some of it undoubtedly leftover from her excursions with her men…but some of it was for him. He’d believe so, anyway.

“Sit,” she said, coughing, trying to mask the hoarseness of her voice. Lena motioned to the stool sitting opposite hers.

A rounded seat with no armrests and no back, it was a most uncomfortable spot, but Zys tried to smile as he did as she told him. “You look lovely,” he said, solemn and serious in every way.

“I have a question for you,” Lena began, toying with the strap that held her nightgown closed. She had to look away as he stared at her. It shouldn’t surprise him; most mortals were unable to look into his eyes, for they usually saw nothing but emptiness and hopeless death.
