The one in my closet wasn't as shocking as the one under my bed. And the one under my bed wasn't as terrifying as the one in my head.
It was a hazy day, one of those days where you can't really see where the clouds begin and end, that she told me she was leaving. At long last, after five years, she would be gone.
I had a mixture of anxiety and relief as she told me where she would be.
"We will discuss it," my mother said firmly.
"But why can't we just do it now?" I pleaded. "I mean, it's not every day you get a pet dragon..."
I was overjoyed to see her; I hadn't in so long! Finally, the Fae have let her come to me, without anything bad happening.
The mist was thick; I could barely see a figure through it. The figure approached me, and as it did, I felt a wave of warmth. I was no longer cold.
I heard a rustling in the bushes behind me.
Sure, it might have just been a bird, but something told me otherwise...I crept toward it, in case I would have scared it off. What was it...? I hoped it wasn't dangerous.
Under the earth is where you need to go. Under the trees, the roots, the soil...you will find your destiny, Alanni. Your destiny lies beneath the roots.
I stood there as if I'd forgotten how to walk. "You--you gave it away?" That stone wasn't ordinary. Yet she had thought it was.
"Yeah..." She frowned. "Is that...bad?"
"Bad? That's an understatement. Now that it could be anywhere, it could fall into the wrong hands..." My mouth went dry. The stone's magic was only for those who understood it. If the wrong person got hold of it, chaos would ensue.
I had to get it back.
The Fallen had come to us. An ancient civilization, now here to tell us the truth, what had happened, why they no longer exist. Such a sadness came from them that I had a difficult time standing in their presence.
The Fallen were here.
It was time to listen.
"I will be eternally yours."
That was what the bird said. It would be mine forever. It was my guardian, to be here with me forever. The bird and I would never part.
I still have to name it...
