CHAPTER 33

Meghan had awakened early and found herself unable to fall back to sleep. After tossing around for another hour she gave up, got dressed, and made her way outside. The air was cool and moist. Fog hovered at the edge of the trees and across the river. Considering the sun was hours from rising, the Tunkapog village was bustling—lately it never seemed to stop. Albeit, tonight's action was a reserved and dampened sort of busy as they prepared to burn the dead from the previous night's battle on the Svoda island. It was a bittersweet somberness that painted the landscape almost as thick as the slowly lifting fog.

She caught herself smirking when she happened across Billie and Maura carrying wood to someone who was building a pyre, and overheard Maura's snide remark about hoping she'd never find herself so close to another pyre again. Understandable, considering she'd almost been burned at the stake by the Stripers.

Meghan wrapped her sweater around herself a little tighter and ambled along a path into the woods that ended when she reached the river that wound its way around the Tunkapog's homeland. It was their means of transportation. Not only here, locally, but also granted them instant access to hundreds of other places across the world. It was an intricate system of waterways, with archways that served like magical highways. A genius way to travel, and only the Tunkapog knew which arches went to where.

So much had happened over the last few years, heck, the last day alone, that it was hard to process it all and figure out where to go from here. Her job was clear—destroy the Immortality Stone and in the process, remove her father from power. But exactly how she was going to accomplish that task was still a mystery. It wasn't as easy as step inside his estate, seek, and destroy. Or was it? Perhaps she was making the task harder than it had to be.

When she'd first heard about the prophecy, it had been believed that she, along with Colin and Colby, would have to find some way to come together, and work together, to one end or another. But then the reality was that the prophecy wasn't real. Meghan had been the one to go back in time and create the prophecy. Which had been interpreted over many years by people who had no idea this was the case. And in some ways, had put all their faith in it being true.

Which in many ways was hard to wrap one's brain around because in the end, the prophecy was true—to
