Arduin frowned disapprovingly, one eye on his transfixed sister, and the other on the dancers circling the campfires. He almost opened his mouth to order Malia to take his sister back to her tent; but he stopped himself, and said nothing, and just let himself fume.

That night, Annwyn dreamt of a beautiful golden-haired youth with strong shoulders and arms, a gentle soul, piercing blue eyes, and a smile that could make any maiden’s heart beat faster but was meant only for her. She had not dared dream of him in years; the pain and heartache it brought had simply become too much, and he had been banished away. And yet that night she dreamt of him, and in her dream they danced, and she danced with him as an Athairi woman might dance with a man. She danced with a freedom and a joy she’d never been able to feel before, letting her body move wildly and with abandon, a long curved sword in her hand. And then suddenly in her dream she wasn’t dancing with him anymore, but instead with a tall dark Athairi man with a gaze of danger and death.

When she awoke she was surprised to find that she was breathing heavily, her pulse racing, a sheen of sweat on her forehead, her hands clawing into the bedroll, her nipples filled to bursting, her knees opened wide, and that a part of her that had long been dry was surprisingly very wet.
