Once Garith had gone to make the arrangements and send the rider, Torian smiled wearily at Emariya. Would they ever have time to just be together? They’d had small snatches of time alone here and there, but it seemed there was always the shadow of the next catastrophe hanging over their heads, not letting them stop to enjoy it. He knew he’d come closer than he would have ever thought possible to losing her, and still she had managed to come back to him. Somehow, soon, they would make time to just get to know each other better without the taint of trouble knocking.

“You should get some rest. You’ll need your strength,” he said. It worried him that she hadn’t been able to recover fully before they’d left her grandparents’ mountain shack.

Her brilliant smile returned, giving him renewed energy. “I’m fine,” she said, without a hint of annoyance at his hovering. She was quiet for a minute, staring off into the distance. “I don’t think I could sleep anyway. I’m still afraid of not waking.”

He’d been such an idiot. How had he not realized she would still be afraid of that? Crossing the tent, he put his arms around her. “You’ve got to sleep eventually. And you’ve the mindroot, right?”

Emariya nodded.

“All right, then, it will be fine,” he said.

“I think I’ll just stay here with you a little while longer if that’s all right? My tent is apparently still being cleaned up anyway.”

Torian went back to the table to study the map more. “Of course it’s fine.” Torian could hear the exhaustion in her voice.

“Why do you think you are getting visions all of a sudden?” Emariya lifted her vulnerable, concerned eyes to meet his.

“Well, I’ve only had the one.”

“Still. You said it’s rare in your family for them to manifest so young.”

Torian had been thinking about it, wondering the same thing. He was pretty sure Emariya wasn’t going to like his answer. “I think we are activating the Stones, so to speak. Awakening them. Reeve may be about to bind the lines. We will hopefully wed and bind them once we know it’s safe. We’re congregating. Changing. I think our Gifts are drawn together and influenced by each other. Perhaps your Gifts call to mine.”

Emariya was quiet, processing what he’d said. “Do you think they could be sell-fulfilling?”

“What, the prophecies?” Torian cocked his head to the side, watching her while he waited for her to explain.

“No. Well, maybe. But I meant your visions. Like how you saw the battle at a specific location, and that we could win. So we are drawing the Separatists there. It’s almost like you saw it, so we are making it happen.” Her brow furrowed.

“I see your point.” It was worth heavy consideration. They could go around the Separatists and avoid the battle. The question was if he hadn’t seen the vision, would they have taken a different path?

“You are right, though,” Emariya said, realization heavy in her voice. “If your visions could be self-fulfilling, the prophecies could be, too.
