I found Mirela in the library with Draven and Calina. That was good, because I wouldn’t have to tell the story more than once. It was better to convey what I’d learned to all of them together. But it appeared that I’d stepped into the middle of an intense conversation.

It looked like Draven was just leaving, so I said, “Don’t go yet. I have to tell you something that you’ll want to hear.”

Draven stepped back into the room. “I have matters to attend to.”

“It will be worth your while, I promise you.” I walked across the room then took a seat.

“We’ve just been discussing a vision I had,” Calina said. “It was about Alban and was quite unsettling.”

“That doesn’t surprise me,” I said. “I’ve had my own discord with the king.”

Calina’s eyes widened. “Recently?”

“Yes, but I daresay that I won’t see him again soon,” I said. “I’m afraid that he’s likely revoked my visitation privileges.”

Draven sat next to Mirela. “May I ask why?”

“I was about to tell you.” I paused. “Alban had the gall to demand that I lead Mirela away from safety, then deliver her into his care.”

The others stared at me.

“It could hardly be called care, though…because he intends to kill her.” I shuddered as the words left my lips. There was no need to detail Alban’s reference to making Mirela suffer. My point had been made.

“You are a good friend to come and tell us,” Mirela said. “And not to acquiesce to such demands.”

“I’m not sure that friendship was what swayed my decision,” I said. “Alban cannot order me about like he does to everyone else.”

“In any case, it is a relief that you didn’t do his bidding,” Draven said.

“I must tell you that his interest in Mirela is…obsessive.” I waited for that to sink in.

“The king wants to take her from Draven to break his spirit,” Calina said.

I smiled. “Oh, that would be too simple. I don’t deny that would be to Alban’s advantage, and that he would like nothing better. But…that is not the sole reason.”

“I know the king pretty well,” Draven said. “And I can assure you that he will rip Mirela away from me, knowing that it would break my heart. That alone would be enough to motivate him.”

“But the stakes are much higher,” I said, then looked at Mirela. “Do you recall our conversation about your role in this kingdom?”

Mirela furrowed her brow. “Very clearly. What about it?”

“Before I answer that,” I said, “let me ask you another question. Haven’t you wondered where your unique abilities came from?”

Mirela hesitated. “Sure, I have. Some of my talents didn’t begin to surface until I met Draven. I assumed it had something to do with him. My abilities are magnified around the supernatural, and I am stronger when I’m with Draven.”

“And there are reasons for all of that.”

Draven glared at me. “Are you going to tell us or just string us along with this bedtime tale?”

I let his sarcasm roll off me. “It’s not made up.
