She looked at him, her hand still cradled in his palm where he’d drawn the dagger across it. He smiled softly, but she could feel the same trepidation radiating off of him.

Scarlett

She was among the stars.

It was the only explanation.

So much darkness and light swirling about.

So many worlds.

So much power.

So much Chaos.

Her mother thought she did not understand the cost of this.

She knew what taking the power of a World Walker would cost her.

She knew it was no longer solely Fae Courts she was responsible for now.

No longer just her world.

But all worlds.

The only High Queen of the World Walkers.

The only World Walker left outside those bound to an animal form.

A World Walker with the gifts of the gods and the Fae.

A threat to not only Achaz, but Arius. Serafina. Anala, Falein, and Celeste. All the Firsts. All the gods.

A Goddess Queen to stand between them and her world.
