Selene

Fay, Pari, go for a walk, ordered Selene to the shadows after watching them play with the twins and Frihet.

We were having fun, they complained in chorus.

I don’t think everyone here is as open-minded as they are in Calatrava, okay?

The two did not answer but disappeared, which she realized from the crying of the twins, who sadly returned to the house. Frihet laid down to rest on the tall grass.

“Are you all right?” Killian asked, sitting next to her.

She nodded.

“Sellie, I’d like you to meet my father Demaine and my younger brother Tamas,” Calder said as he entered the door, followed by two men almost identical to him. The helmet of pigtails was the fae’s trademark, yet the two men’s hair was completely shaved.

His father smiled kindly, while Calder’s brother gave her a look that Selene knew too well: he did not trust her.

She maintained the contact without any problems. After spending a lifetime surrounded by people who looked at her that way, she would survive another one.

“Selene!” one of the twins called her, “why do you have ears like that?”

An amused snort came out of her nose. She didn’t realize that her round ears could be a source of interest, given that she had been curious about the pointy ears of fae.

“Because I’m human,” Selene smiled.

The twins blinked, confused.

“It means that Selene is special,” intervened Mahi, the mother. “She is the one who heals the High Lady from her terrible illness.”

Selene thanked her for stepping in.

“Can you do magic?” asked one.

Selene nodded, amused, “What do you want to see?”

“What magic do you have?”

She decided the shadows were best left where they were. The other side of her power was much more accepted, and she willed the water resting quietly in the glasses to rise and turn into a crystallized snowflake. The girls’ eyes were full of light.

“I want to do it too,” the girls grumbled.

“Don’t tell me you prefer a little bit of water to my magic,” Killian joked, moving the fork with a piece of fried vegetable away from Calder’s mouth yet without moving a finger.

The twin’s laughter filled the room, accompanied by the adults. All except for Tamas.

“Could you give me my food back?” Calder asked, bored.

Killian handed his fork back, but not before eating a bite.

The dinner continued with jokes, chats, inappropriate questions from the girls, and bored looks from Calder’s brother. The immortal’s parents were fantastic, and the food was delicious, as Killian had predicted.

“We’d better make our way to Calatrava,” Killian said after helping clean up.

Selene nodded and took her coat.

“With someone who controls the darkness, you shouldn’t be afraid of night falling.” It was Tamas’ provocative voice that addressed Killian then.

“Rather than the dark, I’m afraid to meet idiots like you who think that Druterra is still a mentally backward region,” the look Killian turned on Tamas was anything but friendly.

“Opening the doors to darkness will take us back to dark times,” he hissed.

“What do you know about dark times? You’re only thirty,” Calder intervened.
