AMARYLLIS HAD BELIEVED she knew what it was to be hated.

She was wrong.

It was blatantly evident that Vid hated the entire fae race. With auburn hair cut straight around her head to the jawline and bangs covering her forehead, her small and light stature gave the illusion of a little girl—an illusion that broke every time the young woman spoke.

Amaryllis could hear her argue with Malakai and Sanar in the next room. It had been nearly two days, and that was all they had been doing. She looked at the other occupant of her room; Una had been gloomy since the morning, absentmindedly twirling a strand of her hair between her fingers.

“What’s wrong?” Amaryllis asked.

Una looked up; her brown eyes slightly dazed in thoughts. “Can insane people be healed?”

“You are not insane! Who said that?”

Despite herself, Una chuckled. “Not me. Well, not yet at least.” She tugged her left ear and bit her lower lip as if calculating how much to say. “The Reapers who kept you captive, remember? D’you think they could’ve been completely healed somehow?”

Amaryllis was confused by Una’s query. “Not sure. Why do you ask?”

Una looked lost. “I...saw us fighting ‘em again, outside this town, at the entrance of Siremann’s.” She continued, “We were all there. Ciaran was there.” Then she swallowed hard. “Amy, you were not.”

Amaryllis stared at her, unable to speak.

“If this was one of those premonitions Sanar talked about, I like it,” Vid declared as she stomped into the room.

“Vid!” Malakai admonished in a quiet voice.

Una ignored her. Instead, she turned to the Healer behind the woman and asked, “Could their madness be healed?”

Sanar raised his eyebrows. “How mad, exactly?”

He glanced at Malakai, who replied gravely, “Raving mad.”

Sanar considered for a few seconds and said, “No Healer that I know of can heal a mind. Our prana interacts with a body's physical energy, whether people, plants, or even inanimate objects. Since Amon has no Mesmer, we have no Healer with affinity to treat minds, either.”

“In that case, these cannot be visions of the future! They can’t be from the past, considering we never crossed paths with Una before. What are they?” Malakai asked somewhat irritably.

“Who cares?” Vid looked annoyed. “It’s been over four months that Ciaran has been missing, and now we are stuck with a fae!”

“Why d’you hate the fae so much?” Una asked, equally irked. “I had the excuse of not knowin’ the real story. You must already know—”

Sanar interrupted the Mover. “Una, don’t—” But he was not fast enough.

Dark storms gathered in Vid’s gray eyes. “You mean the story where a fae dangled the forbidden fruit before a human? What did they expect?” the Bender yelled at her, "did they think that the human would’ve politely refused the offer of magic??" Vid panted in an effort to control herself.

Amaryllis knew it was best to stay quiet.

Vid’s trembling voice cut off Una’s attempt to interject as she looked straight at Amaryllis. “I know it was our own greed. But did your kind
