Chapter Twelve

“Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.”

As we lay staring into each other’s eyes, sleep escaped us. I rolled onto my back, so I could look through the skylight, at the night sky. I could see the moon. It seemed to be growing fuller by the moment. I reached my hand to my chest and let my fingers dance across the details of my medallion. Landen rolled to his side and stared down at the sun and crescent moon. I sensed his confusion.

“Do you think we lived before?” I asked him.

He looked from the medallion into my eyes. “I’ve never given credit to the myth of living past lives before,” he whispered, “but I know I’ve seen you wear this before.” He looked back to the sun and the moon.

“Are there any other myths about travelers?” I asked in a light-hearted tone, reaching for his face to trace his perfect profile.

Landen smiled and looked back into my eyes. “Some believe that the gifted travelers are the oldest souls bound by past lives,” he answered, tilting his head and smiling at me as his eyes searched my face.

“I guess that means our families have always been with us,” I whispered.

I heard him laugh under his breath. “Right now, I don’t know if I’d see that as a positive,” he said, trying to hold the sarcasm out of his tone.

I playfully glared at him.

“I didn’t mean it,” he said, wrapping his arm around my waist. “I just want to know what we’re up against so I can protect you. It bothers me that my father doesn’t think I’ll be able to handle it.”

“You’re wrong. I can almost guarantee you that your dad thinks you can handle anything. He has an intense pride that comes from him every time he looks at you.” Seeing his doubt, I went on, “Maybe he’s the one that can’t handle it. I don’t think my father or Livingston can either.”

“August will tell us,” Landen murmured.

“Does your father realize that?”

“My grandfather has always played peacemaker between my dad and me. He has a way of making my dad let go, and me slow down both at the same time.”

“Maybe that’s what our parents are waiting on, the peacemaker.”

“He should be home soon...”

“Do you think they lost the star when Justus and Livingston went to bring back Adonia?” I asked, rolling to my side so I could get closer to him.

Landen arched a brow “Livingston is the only one, besides Justus, that’s been inside of the Blakeshire Palace.”

“Why did Beth go with them? Why didn’t they take more travelers?”

“August told me that just before I was born, that the storms were so bad that travelers were gone for months at a time. Justus and Livingston were the only ones close enough. Beth was from Esterious, so she went to help them find a new way in the palace.”
