“What’s going on?” I demanded when I got to Nylah’s door and a guard was stationed there. “Leif, what are you doing here?”

“I’m sorry, sir,” Leif said, looking as apologetic as he sounded. “The Queen stationed me here. No one is to go in or out.”

“Don’t be ridiculous. Get out of my way.”

Leif didn’t move.

“I’m your general!” I cried out.

“It’s the Queen’s orders,” he replied.

He looked terrified of me. Good. I wanted to knock him for disobeying me, but Ellie was above me, and no matter how scared the guards were of me, the Queen’s orders overrode mine.

Damn!

“Why are you stationed here?” I demanded. What was going on?

“I…don’t know.”

I narrowed my eyes at him. “You don’t know, or you’re not allowed to tell me?”

Leif looked like he was about to wet himself. I was in a bad mood already. I’d come here to talk to Nylah, to blow off some steam. This only made it worse.

The door opened, and Ellie appeared.

“What’s going on?” I questioned.

Ellie shut the door behind her and glanced at Leif, who stood at attention despite looking nervous.

“Dex, I need you to calm down,” she said. She wore a black dress, and it made her look somber, like she was in mourning. The Queen never wore black.

“Where’s Nylah?” I asked.

“Vanya is with her. She’s resting.”

“Vanya?” My frustration gave way to concern. “Why is she here?” She must have traveled all the way from Palgia to see Nylah.

“Will you walk with me?” Ellie turned away from the door, assuming that I would oblige.

I fell into step beside her. I couldn’t very well ignore her. She was my queen, and I wanted answers. Something was wrong.

“Nyla lost her memory,” Ellie said simply while we walked. She kept her eyes straight away, not looking at me as she talked.

“What?” I asked. “What does that mean?” I studied her profile. Her jaw was set, her eyes serious when she glanced at me.

“It means that she doesn’t know anyone. She doesn’t remember anything at all. I asked Vanya to come see what she could do to help her. I needed someone who could help her the way Nylah always helps everyone else, but so far…”

I shook my head, struggling to understand. “How is that possible? Does she not know anything at all?”

“Nothing,” Ellie confirmed. “Aside from her own name, she has no idea who she is, who any of us are. She doesn’t know that she is supposed to be a high priestess, either.”

“But how?” I still couldn’t wrap my mind around it.

“I don’t know,” Ellie said softly, and her face crumpled a little bit, like she wanted to cry. “I was hoping we could get some answers with Vanya here. Terra won’t talk to her; she won’t tell Vanya anything. We have no idea what happened to Nylah or why she can’t remember who she is.”

This wasn’t possible. How could it be? If Nylah didn’t know anything or remember anyone, did she know what we were? Did she remember what we’d become?

“What about me?” I asked, exasperated.
