She passed through a world of snowcapped mountains under shining stars. Passed over one of those mountains, where a winged male stood beside a heavily pregnant female, gazing out at those very stars. Fae.
They were , but this was not her world.
She flung out a hand, as if she might signal them, as if they might somehow help her when she was nothing but an invisible speck of power-
The winged male, beautiful beyond reason, snapped his head toward her as she arced across his starry sky.
He lifted a hand, as in greeting.
A blast of dark power, like a gentle summer night, slammed into her.
Not to attack-but to slow her down.
A wall, a shield, that she tore and plunged through.
But it slowed her. That winged male's power slowed her, just enough.
Aelin vanished from his world without a whisper.
