CHAPTER ELEVEN

Bryn

I couldn’t believe he was real!

All this time, the man who regularly appeared in my dreams ever since I was fourteen years old, was actually real! And he went by the name of Dureau Chevalier.

As soon as he walked through the doors to the green room, I recognized him. Of course, it was hard not to recognize him with his dashing good looks. But what surprised me most was that neither one of us could tear our gazes away from the other. As soon as he spotted me and I saw him, it seemed like everyone and everything else in the room just vaporized into nothing. It seemed like we were the only two people in the whole world.

Relief. That’s the first emotion I felt as soon as the shock of seeing him in the flesh wore off. Relief. I finally knew for sure I hadn’t hallucinated him in the forest, and he wasn’t just a figment of my fertile imagination. After the sense of relief faded away, I could only wonder. I absolutely could not understand how this man managed to reach out to me through my dreams for all these years. How could he even know who I was?

I figured there would be plenty of time for questions and answers later. For now, learning the real reason Dureau came here was the next mystery I had to solve, and I sensed it had everything to do with Luce and the impending attack. Of course, that information was high priority and of the utmost urgency and importance. My questions could wait. They had to.

But even now, lying beside my sister, I couldn’t stop thinking about Dureau. Naturally, my focus should have been fastened exclusively on what was going on around me—Mathilda and Mercedes were ready to attempt to recreate my vision for my sister to witness.

Jolie invited everyone into a spare guest room where the spell would be taking place. Once all were assembled there, Mercedes instructed Jolie and me to lie down next to each other on the king-sized bed that was in the center of the room. The rest of the furniture was removed to allow everyone plenty of standing room to observe the incantation. And maybe to help if needed.

Rand sat on Jolie’s side of the bed, holding her hand. He gazed into her eyes, stroking his other thumb up and down the side of her arm as he smiled sweetly at her. I could tell he was nervous, and I didn’t blame him. I was nervous too.

Sinjin stood on my side and he was pacing, which affected my nerves in an adverse way. His restlessness wasn’t doing me a damned bit of good. I refused to look at him and closed my eyes, taking my sister’s hand in a hopeful attempt to calm myself.

Mercedes was busily concocting a mixture. In a deep bowl on the far side of the room, she was stirring it repetitively with a wooden spoon and adding pinches of this and that as she chanted after each ingredient.
