I awoke standing in the throne room, my Father in front of me
weeping. An ethereal breeze lifted strands of my hair as I looked around
the expansive room. No one else was there. Slipping silently to his
side, I laid my hand on his quaking shoulder. “Father, why do you cry
so?”
He shuddered and gaped at me, surprise and fear on his loving face. It nearly broke my heart.
“I do not understand. How are you here before me, when I know you are gone for all time?”
“Gone…”
“I received word today of your death in the human world.”
Gone? His words echoed inside me like a yawning cavern, the torment and pain making me doubt my existence.
“I do not understand. Who would tell such lies to you?”
“Lies?
I pray for lies. Even now, Jack and Aine travel by sea, bringing your
body home. At first, I thought they were mistaken, for you did not fade.
Then, I was reminded of the Fay who had fallen before you in the human
world. They had not faded until they were brought home. The same is for
you.”
Father had never been a fanciful or delusional man. He must believe in my death, yet I knew I dreamed.
“On what day did I die?”
He sobbed. “Your birthday.”
“But, how is it you are weeping for me?”
I got no response. Not being able to reach him to reason, I attempted to reason with myself. My birthday fell a week from now.
“He has been here for the last three days. I am the only one allowed to enter.” Fearghus stood behind me.
“You do not seem surprised at my appearance. Why is that?”
“You are not the first to die in no-Fay’s-land. You shall know unrest until your body is returned.”
“Die!
I am not dead. Father said I died on my birthday. My birthday is not
for another seven days. There is no limbo here, only a dream.”
“So…dream
waking is your true power. Why do you not return home if your quest is
finished? Before you truly die and all hope is lost?”
“Because dream waking is not my true power. I was able to do it before I left home.”
It
was all the detail Fearghus needed to know, but his voice still grew
feral as he stepped near to my ear. “Then you must hurry and find your
true power. This is more than just walking in dreams; it is a glimpse
into your future. A sign from the Gods of what is to come. I wished for
you to learn your heritage while you are gone, not die from it. I give
you five days. If you have not evolved by then, you should return no
matter what.”
For the first time that I knew of, fear edged his
will. “You know I cannot. I will not return to be given to Aidan, nor
will I stand by while his family lays claim to what is rightfully mine.”
“I never wished Aidan on you, only for you to take your place as
all Fay must do. As your Father did before you, and his Father before
him. Rule us, Princess. Rule all the Fay.”
He came around to me. The determination in his eyes shook mountains. Drama for my benefit or his?
“You speak as though more than my taking the throne is at stake.”
“It
is. My future is also at stake. I am fading but cannot or will not rest
until you sit safely on the throne with your chosen King.”
I had
an answer for him. I needed to believe Fearghus was concerned more for
our people than I had given him credit for. “I give you my word as
Princess of Fay, I will return in five days' time, with or without my
power. You must also give your word to help me out of a wedding to
Aidan.”
His forehead furrowed and his eyes pierced into mine, but
he finally nodded. “On your arrival, if Aidan is not for you, then
another suitable husband shall be chosen.”
“I wish I could
believe that, but you know as I do, the other Elders must also say so.
You will need to convince them. Will you? Can you?”
