Game of Prythian

Chapter Thirty-Three

They nodded and Clotho pushed me toward the door, her notepad showing her thoughts, "Go to your brothers, I know that you all had plans to spar."

"Thank you all," I claimed, setting my hand on the doorknob. They all nodded again. All promising they'd keep in contact. Helion spoke, "Meallan wished you well," I snorted, but he continued. "And I plan to have words with Rhysand."

Ah, well good luck to you then old friend. They winnowed out, back to their own homes.

I stood in the room silently for a while before Dione reappeared. With a hot face and puffy eyes, I glanced toward her. "Why were they here?"

She wiped my hot steaming tears, "Your father thought that they'd want to see you." Sniffing, I brought my hands to my face trying to rub the tears away. Dione ran her hands up and down my shaking shoulders.

"What's wrong? I thought you'd be happy to see your friends again." Dione eased me down to a sofa, sniffing again the tears seemed to lose again. I gripped my elbows, "For some reason, I thought we'd all get to stick together. Even though we'd all live in different courts, with me in the human lands, I thought it'd all be okay."

Dione's cold fingers were a balm against my hot cheeks, "You can still go back to see them." I shook my head, "My sister's are still pissed at me still, no matter what Court i stay in they will always find a way to get me to leave. Because I can't handle their comments again, They'd always find me."

Dione nodded and tucked me into her shoulders, "I think her name was Hava? The super tall one with dark skin and these harsh but kind eyes. Yes she told me she was afraid to come and see you."

"Why?" I wheezed, shoulders shaking as Dione tried to soothe the rooted sadness. Dione murmured, "Hava explained that she believed, if she came and saw you, then you would come back to Prythian and jump head first into danger again. That you'd get hurt."

That was like Hava, I had broken the female in some way, forcing her to let me die those months ago. Dione released my hair from the intricate braid and let it flow around as a curtain. She continued, "I know that's not what your sisters were doing, but my guess is that you feel guilty being here why they are over in Prythian giving their lives."

Nodding slowly Dione sighed and declared, "Your father offered to send a few legions over, but they declined. However, I'm sure if you go and talk to them and attempt to help yourself then they would understand."

Feyre, Nesta, and Elain want nothing to do with me, yet I can still help fix the mess of Hybern. I nodded and Dione spoke. "Do you need spies?"

"I have some." I glanced in the corner of the room, and there were those just visible friendly shadows. "I just need a certain friend to find them."

They waited, and I continued. "The spies will sneak into the ball tomorrow, they're capable enough to, once they're in the spies will go to..."

Glazing to Dione she set a small finger on her lips and said, "Your spies can go to the northern tower at the top. Then you all can meet up around midnight with them, Kana."

Nodding slowly, I watched the shadow's disappear slowly. Dione offered, "I can help you send some letters?"

I shook my head calmly, "It's okay, the message has already been sent." Dione didn't understand, yet she nodded, trusting me. Trust was a strange thing, yet somehow she gave it to me.

She pulled us both from the sofa declaring, "Now, et's go get you cleaned up and you can go spar with your brothers."

She pulled us from the room and as we passed the guests I held my head up, strength emanating from deep inside me. The noticed the hair that represented starlight, and illuminated just ever so slightly. Yet that was all they saw, the strong beautiful Princess.
