she allow them to make.
Maeve smiled. “What a very long way
you’ve traveled, Aelin.”
Aelin only angled Goldryn. Met Erawan’s
golden stare.
His eyes flared as he took in the sword.
Remembered it.
Aelin bared her teeth. Let the flame she fed
into the sword glow brighter.
Maeve turned to the Valg king. “Shall we,
then?”
But Erawan looked at Aelin. And hesitated.
She would not have long. Not long at all
until they realized that the power that made
him hesitate was no more.
But she had not remained outside the
southern gate to defeat them.
Only to buy time.
For those in the city she loved so greatly to
get away. To run, and live to fight tomorrow.
