PRESENT Day
“What is this place?” Niamh’s voice echoed through the cavernous
room as we took in the unexpected sight before us. A space had
been hollowed in the side of the mountain, and towering
shelves lined each wall. Weapons, chains, gemstones, and books were
clustered in neat little piles with symbols etched below them. There were
also some canteens of water and some dried meats. Someone had spent a
long time on this place.
In our efforts to chase down Tessa and Oberon, we’d skirted around the
base of the mountain toward the light fae army camping in our way. But just
before their camp had risen through the mist, Alastair had spotted a hole in
the rock face. A shortcut through the mountain, we’d hoped. Instead, it had
brought us to this room.
Alastair frowned and spun one of his earrings absentmindedly, as he
was wont to do. “It’s clearly some kind of hidden hoard. Must have taken
years to get all this shit in here.”
“Yes, but whose hoard?” With gleaming silver eyes, Fenella approached
a shelf stuffed with little covered trays of dried herbs. She pulled one from
the shelf and held it up, squinting. The darkness and mist had followed us
into this place. Without torchlight, there was only so far we could see, even
with our fae sight. Fenella wrinkled her nose and put the tray back on the
shelf. “This is valerian. Looks like there’s piles of it.”
“Oberon.” Toryn swore beneath his breath and pointed at a pile of
chains near the door. “This is how he trapped you. He came here to get his
hidden chains and valerian, and then he took you out so he could steal Tessa
away without having to fight you. He knew he wouldn’t win.”
I shook my head and turned back toward the hewn archway leading out
of the cave. “We’re wasting time. This is a dead end, and we need to turn
back. If we don’t catch up to them…”
My stomach clenched. I couldn’t even bear to speak the words out loud,
and my Mist Guard already knew the ending of that sentence without me
sharing my thoughts. If we didn’t reach them in time, Oberon would kill
Tessa, all to keep my mother alive for a little longer. I could never let that
happen.
No one objected when I pushed back out into the mists, although
Fenella hung back just long enough to stuff some valerian into her pockets,
along with a handful of tiger-eye gemstones. Curious that this place would
have them, I had to admit. I hadn’t seen a tiger-eye in several hundred
years. They weren’t found in Aesirian mines. Had a mortal from across the
Bantam Sea built this place?
