“I believe everything happens for a reason. Whether it is decided by the Mother, or the Cauldron, or some sort of tapestry of Fate, I don't know. I don't really care. But I am grateful for it, whatever it is. Grateful that it brought you all into my life. If it hadn't... I might have become as awful as that prick we're going to face today. If I had not met an Illyrian warrior-in-training," he said to Cassian, "I would not have known the true depths of strength, of resilience, of honor and loyalty." Cassian's eyes gleamed bright. Rhys said to Azriel, "If I had not met a shadowsinger, I would not have known that it is the family you make, not the one you are born into, that matters. I would not have known what it is to truly hope, even when the world tells you to despair." Azriel bowed his head in thanks.
Mor was already crying when Rhys spoke to her. "If I had not met my cousin, I would neer have learned that light can be found in even the darkest of hells. That kidness can thrive even amongst cruelty." She wiped away her teas as she nodded.
I waited for Amren to offer a retort. But she was only waiting.
Rhys bowed his head to her. "If I had not met a tiny monster who hoards jewels more fiercely than a firedrake..." A quite laugh from all of us at that. Rhys smiled softly. "My own power would have consumed me long ago."
Rhys squeezed my hand as he looked to me at last. "And if I had not met my mate..." His words failed him as silver lined his eyes.
He said down the bond, I would have waited five hundred more years for you. A thousand years. And if this was all the time we were allowed to have... The wait was worth it.
He wiped away the tears sliding down my face. "I believe that everything happened, exactly the way it had to... so I could find you." He kissed another tear away.”

“This could be . . . a very bad idea," I admitted, my grip tightening on his hand.
"Oh, it most certainly is," Cassian said with a faint smile as we continued down and down into the heavy black and thrumming silence. "But this is war. We don't have the luxury of good ideas鈥搊nly picking between the bad ones.”

“The wind whipped away the tears rolling down Nesta鈥檚 face at the sight of our father鈥檚 ships. At the sight of the ship he鈥檇 chosen to sail into battle, for the daughter who hated him for not fighting for us, who had hated him for our mother dying, for the poverty and the despair and the years lost.”

“Not only for our sakes, but鈥� she needs to get out of the House. She needs to鈥︹€� Cassian鈥檚 wings kept up a steady booming beat, the new sections only detectable by their lack of scarring. 鈥淪he鈥檒l destroy herself if she stays cooped up in there.”

“Rhys brushed a hand down my arm. 鈥淵ou are, as always, free to go wherever and whenever you wish. But what I think Mor is saying is ... try to leave a note the next time.鈥�
The words were casual, but that was panic in his eyes. Not鈥攏ot the controlling fear Tamlin had once succumbed to, but ... genuine terror of not knowing where I was, if I needed help. Just as I would want to know where he was, if he needed help, if he vanished when our enemies surrounded us. 鈥淚鈥檓 sorry,鈥� I said. To him, to the others.”

“S艂u偶膮cy plotkuj膮. A pod G贸r膮 nigdy nie s艂ysza艂am ani nie widzia艂am, 偶eby Rhysand podni贸s艂 r臋k臋 na kogo艣 ze s艂u偶by. Na stra偶nik贸w, na zbir贸w Amaranthy, na fae, kt贸rych kaza艂a mu zabi膰 - owszem. Ale nigdy na s艂abych. Nigdy na bezbronnych.”

“- Przedstawi艂a艣 si臋 jako ksi臋偶na - mrukn膮艂.
- Mia艂am tego nie robi膰?
Pu艣ci艂 moj膮 r臋k臋, by pog艂adzi膰 mi policzek wierzchem palc贸w.
- Chcia艂em to wykrzycze膰 z dach贸w Velaris, od kiedy tylko kap艂anka ci臋 nama艣ci艂a. Jak偶e to dla ciebie typowe, niweczy膰 moje wspania艂e plany.”

“Po t艂umie przetoczy艂 si臋 szmer, gdy usiad艂am, czuj膮c przenikliwe zimno kamienia na nagich udach.
Gdy Rhys zwyczajnie przysiad艂 na oparciu i u艣miechn膮艂 si臋 do mnie zawadiacko, z sali dobieg艂y zg艂uszone okrzyki.
- Pok艂o艅cie si臋 - zwr贸ci艂am si臋 do Dworu Koszmar贸w.”

“- P贸ki nie musimy zaprasza膰 jej na uczt臋 z okazji przesilenia, jako艣 to prze偶yj臋.
- Ty jako艣 to prze偶yjesz? - zapyta艂am, unosz膮c brwi.
Pomimo wszystkiego, co si臋 wydarzy艂o, przemkn膮艂 pomi臋dzy nami cie艅 u艣miechu.
- Przynajmniej teraz mam idealn膮 kar臋, je艣li kt贸rekolwiek z was co艣 przeskrobie. I艣膰 tam na d贸艂 i pogaw臋dzi膰 z ni膮 przez godzink臋.”

“Rhys turned his head, looking me over from head to toe. Then back to Tamlin. A storm about to be unleashed.
But it was Azriel who said, his voice like cold death, "Be careful how you speak about my High Lady.”

“I rose on surprisingly steady knees.
Felt all of them tense, Tamlin鈥檚 gaze like a brand as I walked toward the
shadowsinger, my sparkling gown hissing along the floor behind me. As I put
a tattooed hand on the hard, near-invisible curve of the shield and said,
鈥淐ome, Azriel.鈥�
Azriel stopped.
Eris gasped for air as those scarred hands loosened. As Azriel turned his
face toward me鈥�
The frozen rage there rooted me to the spot.
But beneath it, I could almost see the images that haunted him: the hand
Mor had yanked away, her weeping, distraught face as she had screamed at
Rhys.
And now, behind us, Mor was shaking in her chair. Pale and shaking.
I only offered my hand to Azriel. 鈥淐ome sit beside me.鈥�
Nesta had already moved her seat, and an extra chair appeared beside
mine.
I didn鈥檛 let my hand tremble as I kept it extended. And waited.
Azriel鈥檚 eyes slid to Eris, the High Lord鈥檚 son panting beneath him. And
the shadowsinger leaned down to whisper something in his ear that made Eris
blanch further.
But the shield dropped. The shadows lightened into sunshine.
Beron struck鈥攐nly for his fire to bounce off a hard barrier of my own. I
lifted my gaze to the High Lord of Autumn. 鈥淭hat鈥檚 twice now we鈥檝e handed
you your asses. I鈥檇 think you鈥檇 be sick of the humiliation.鈥�
Helion laughed. But my attention returned to Azriel, who took my stilloffered hand and rose. The scars were rough against my fingers, but his skin
was like ice. Pure ice.
Mor opened her mouth to say something to Azriel, but Cassian put a hand
on her bare knee and shook his head. I led the shadowsinger to the empty
chair beside mine鈥攖hen walked to the table myself to pour him a glass of
wine.
No one spoke until I offered it to him and sat down.
鈥淭hey are my family,鈥� I said at the raised brows I received for my waiting
on him. Tamlin just shook his head in disgust and finally slid that claw back
into his hand. But I met Eris鈥檚 fuming gaze, my voice as cold as Azriel鈥檚 face
as I said, 鈥淚 don鈥檛 care if we are allies in this war. If you insult my friend
again, I won鈥檛 stop him the next time.”
