CHAPTER FOURTEEN

Leaving Ashley at Allan's for the night, Jordan said goodbye and took to the air, headed for home. Her mind swirled, and her gut roiled on the edge of nausea as a rat of worry had its way with her insides.

The sun was kissing the horizon, and the colors of Rodania had turned into a palette of pastels. As Jordan landed on the terrace of her apartment with Sol, she closed her eyes and sucked in a long, steadying breath.

"Jordan? Is that you?" Sol's voice called from the bedroom, his tone incredulous.

"It's me," she answered. Just the sound of his voice was enough to steady her.

"That has to be some kind of record," he said with a laugh as he emerged, his hands full of boiled leather armor. The moment he saw Jordan's face, his own melted into a mask of concern. "What's wrong?"

Jordan gazed at him, her vision growing blurry. Sol knew nothing of what had transpired over the last day. She was loath to complicate his life further—–he needed to focus on Golpa, on doing the job and getting back safely.

Jordan began to speak but her throat closed up. Sol's loving face was enough to bring all of her emotion rushing to the forefront, and she finally felt allowed to fall apart a little.

"What is it?" He put the leather and the knives on the nearest stool and came over to where Jordan stood on the terrace. He put his hands on her shoulders. "Jordan, what's happened? Is it something to do with Sohne?" His voice hardened. "What has that wretched Elf done now?"

At his touch, a sob broke from Jordan's throat, and she sagged against him, willing herself not to bawl like a baby. Tears came anyway. Sol wrapped his arms around her and squeezed, his warmth soaking into her, and she closed her eyes and drank it through every pore. Sol didn't pressure her to talk, he just held her as the remaining day's light leaked from the sky.

When she was ready, Jordan wiped her face. The kitchen was full of supplies, so she pulled Sol into the bedroom where they could sit on the bed. Sol listened quietly while the story spilled out of her; she told him everything that had happened and everything she had learned. When she revealed to him who her biological father was, he didn't seem as surprised as she expected him to be.

"You're not shocked?" she asked, watching his face.

"I am," he said, shaking his head. "It's just that I actually had the thought once before, that you might be related to the king. I didn't suspect you were his daughter, but… something in his family tree."

"You did?" Jordan was startled by this admission. It was the first Sol had ever mentioned it. "When? Why?"

"Way back, when we spent that first night on Oriceran together. Remember?"

Jordan smiled. "When we had giant crab for dinner and took turns staying awake? How could I forget?"

Sol nodded. "When you started to talk about how your mom had to be on Oriceran and I had to help you find her.
