The thief imprisoned him at the bottom of the portal right here in Idaea.” She pointed a finger at the floor. “I feel him, even now.”

“He did,” she said now, sipping on her tea slowly. “He saw. And once we get to him down there, we’ll know exactly who’s behind all of this. I’ll know exactly whom to hunt down.”

“Godlight,” she told me. “The godlight you produced last night was blinding. If you weren’t in the Vault, the entire city would have seen it. I felt it all the way to my bones—outside. It’s not enough to get us through the portal tunnel and to the Underworld, not right now, but I believe that once you consume my Ichor, you will be able to harness enough power to do it.”

But the voice in the back of my head, this time that of a man’s, was there to warn me just like in all the other dreams—no magic, not for any reason, ever. No magic. Squeezing my fists around the railing once more, I continued to watch the sky in silence, until the ache in my gut faded away together with the light of the sun.
Shanley Roach
Very curious to know what these dreams are…

Mortals and their godlight. As impossible as it sounded, when he said it, I understood—we saved them. We saved ourselves, too, but we saved Elyseans as well, just as much as they saved us.

“Yes, that Hob,” said Shade, keeping his lips pressed to mine, and his hand on my neck and cheek. I loved the feel of it. “She has more godlight in her than most mortals in the past two centuries. You can see it when she uses it from very far away.”

“Regret staying here for you?” he said, shaking his head, kissing me harder. “Never, not for a second. I’d follow you beyond worlds, Snowflake.” I about melted right there in his arms.

Shade leaned back to look into my eyes. “I was wrong to be so afraid of you coming here, Snowflake. You’re so much stronger than I realized at first. But strength means nothing if you don’t use it, if you don’t mean to use it, no matter who you’re up against.”

“And his actions are his responsibility. He makes his choices for himself. It’s his job to realize that he’s like you, too, but it’s your job to protect yourself, Snowflake. You can—but you have to want to,” Shade said.

“It is, but you’ll handle it. With that godlight coming out of you, you can handle anything.” “Was it a lot?” I wondered. “Oh, yes.” “Like Beatrix Hob?” Shade chuckled. “About a hundred times more, at least.”

My eyes closed again, and I focused on breathing. “I was there,” I whispered, and he never stopped touching me. Never stopped kissing me. “In the last trial, when I disappeared, I went to this place that could have been the Underworld and I was made to drink from the Mnemosyne to pay for the memories I took from the Sphinx with one of mine. The goddess chose the night my parents died, Shade. I saw all of it from the outside. All of it, in detail.”

Shade was right behind her. Holding a leather jacket in his hands. “Thought you might need this,” he said with a grin, then came and put the jacket over my shoulders. It was heavy. It was warm. It was big—and it smelled like raindrops and his skin. Definitely Shade’s.

“Looks good on you,” Shade said, raising a thick brow. I rolled my eyes. “You’re only saying that because it’s yours,” I teased. But he came closer and closer until his mouth was right next to my ear. “So are you,” he whispered, leaving me more breathless than the view did.

“His dad is…” Mave’s voice trailed off as Max reached the fence gate of his house, then turned to wave at us before going in. We both waved and smiled, too. “His dad is not there. It’s just him and his mom, and sometimes her sister,”
