ADEENA

Defender of the forgotten, keeper of divine ability, yielder to none.

The words play on repeat as a deep male voice echoes through my head.

My mouth is dry, and I feel a shift in my power. It’s like my power reserves are recharging but on a much more exponential level. A sweat breaks out across my forehead as his voice continues.

Defender of the forgotten, keeper of divine ability, yielder to none.

Chills wash over me as sweat begins to roll down my back. I’m having trouble staying focused on the conversation. The second the words left Edlynne’s mouth ‘defender of the forgotten’ I felt the change, a sudden click somewhere deep within me.

Defender of the forgotten, keeper of divine ability, yielder to none.

“Protected from what?” Dreyden asks Edlynne, and the voice in my head comes to a stop.

I look up, watching Dreyden and Edlynne, wondering if they’d just experienced the same thing I did, or if they’re about to think I’m crazy when I tell them what just occurred in my mind. Edlynne already sounds like she’s lost her mind, so maybe she won’t bat an eye, but Dreyden will be ready to take me down to the healer’s clinic.

Shaking her head side to side, Edlynne says, “I don’t know. It’s like my memories have been wiped clean. I feel like I know so much, but when I search for the information there’s nothing there. It’s empty.”

“Do you remember anything before the dream?” I ask.

Her face drops as her visible frustration grows. “No,” she sighs. “I was dreaming of Zeus, then he left the dream and I woke up on the forest floor, surrounded by crimson red foliage and fireflies. It was dark, but the fireflies led me here. I followed them through the forest and by the time the sun rose I could see the castle in the distance. I ran into all these other people in the forest on my way here. None of us know what’s going on, and to tell you the truth, we’re all frightened.” Tears well in her bottom eyelids. “Who would do this to us?”

I take her hand, clenching it tightly for reassurance. “I don’t know, but we’re going to figure it out. Until then, you’ll stay in the legion camp just outside the castle. We’ll take care of you.”

Edlynne’s face relaxes just enough to clear the tears from her eyes. “How can I help?”

Rising to my feet, I look at Dreyden across the table. He’s quietly watching us, mulling over the answers Edlynne provided us with. He looks skeptical, but he isn’t saying anything. My eyes return to Edlynne. “You’ll be of use in the legion camp. I’m sure they need help getting more tents set up. There will be quite a few of you in each tent, and I’m hoping we have enough. If not, we’ll figure it out.”

One of the castle staff waits by the dining hall entrance, patiently waiting to take Edlynne back outside with the rest of the lost fae.
