My excitement to share my news with Shavarra had me practically skipping down the ruined hallways. It was a shame that a castle such as this one had to be destroyed, but I understood why it had to happen. Sometimes you had to take something that had caused you so much distress and make it into something of your very own. That’s what I intended to do with the power I would have back in the Twinity Court. This time I would do it right.

I skittered into the infirmary, rushing right in the door and to Shavarra’s bed. A curtain had been pulled around it but I flung it open. A fluffed pillow and neatly tucked sheet met my elation, my mouth already opening to share the news.

No Shavarra.

Twisting, my leather pants creaked. I slowed myself to take in my surroundings, only to realize many of the Nymphs had been released. Suzetta, the healer, poked her head out from the bunk at the back of the room where she helped a patient. Her mousey brown hair framed her face and her cheeks where spots similar to a cat’s curved around her temples “You just missed her. I released her maybe five minutes ago. Healthy as a horse. Kinda. Don’t let her start messing around in those training rings they have out there just yet.”

“Yes, ma’am,” I said as I started out the door. Taking a few steps back into the doorway, I leaned back and tried, “Would you happen to know where she might have run off to?”

“She said something about being curious how the kitchen was being operated at this time. She wanted to thank the chefs for the meals they brought in for her and the others.”

Classic Shavarra. Always going out of her way to make others feel appreciated. I didn’t deserve her as a friend. I couldn’t hide my smile as I weaved through the halls. Earning myself a few questioning looks from the Nymphs whose conversations fell quiet as I passed with a wave.

The doors to the kitchen were propped open. I noticed the windows were opened as well, letting in a nice morning breeze. Knives sliced through vegetables and bounced off the cutting board in the hands of the skilled Nymphs who had been forced to do it for far too long. It seemed now that they had some control it was something they didn't entirely loathe.

I spotted Shavarra with her back to me, talking enthusiastically to a few Nymphs while they worked whisks through whatever it was they were baking today. As quietly as I could manage, with my heart trying to rattle right out of my rib cage, I snaked between a large table and snuck behind her, wrapping my arms over her shoulders. Pulling her into me, I swayed back and forth as she gasped.

“Trying to sneak away without letting me know they finally set you free?” I whispered in her ear.

She vibrated with a light laugh as she untangled herself from my hug.
