A second later I stopped worrying about my state of mind. This was amazing! I was going to be happy for thirteen hours straight. Nothing could ruin my good mood. “This is the best news ever!” I laughed. “I’m so happy and thrilled and I love you all so much.”“I love you.” Penn said passionately. “More than anything in this world.”“Oh Penn.” I grabbed his face and kissed him. Kissing him felt like a total dream. Almost unreal. “Wait, I love you too, Zelda!” Hunter whined “Kiss me too!”“Of course darling.” I kissed Hunter. “Oz, I think I’ll die without you.” Zeke said dreamily. “I love you so much.”“I love you back.” Oz laughed. “I want to marry you.”“Ooh, marriage sounds fun!” Posy gasped. “I’ve always wanted to get married.&rdquo

Posy was inconsolable.“No! I can’t be married! I don’t even know Wyatt that well and he’s an Aleni!”“Posy-”“Zelda, what am I supposed to do? How do I face Kurt ever again?”“Just get it annulled.” Zeke suggested.“Well, if they consummated the marriage, an annulment will not be possible.” Szan informed us.“Oh Veone, take me now!” Posy wailed. “We consummated so many times!”“Yeah, we did.” Wyatt smiled.“What about divorce? Can they get a divorce?” Penn questioned.“Not unless one of them does something heinous to each other.” Szan said. “Heinous?” Cedric asked. “What would be considered heinous?”“I’d say biting someone is pretty heinous.” I stated.“Oh you’re just never going to get over that, are yo

Moxdea appeared to us the moment we exited the Harpcola Wilds. “Congratulations on getting the Griffon’s talons.”“Thank you, Moxdea.” I smiled. “You were very correct, the journey there was absolutely horrible and I don’t wish to do that again.”“Beware, Empress Zelda, for it doesn’t get easier from here.” Moxdea warned me.“How could it possibly get any harder?” Cedric questioned. “Don’t ask that!” I hissed. “Now it’s gonna get ten times harder.”“Just kill me now.” “Can I?” Hunter questioned. “Any tips on this journey Moxdea?”  I asked. Her smoky  head bobbed up and down. “This journey will be a stormy one. You will be in your one true form, you will confront the ghosts of your past, you must keep your head above water and re

Since I already knew what my life was like as Queen of the Aleni, I turned away from that reflection. And instead turned to the first one. It intrigued me that this was the form I had physically changed into.Was it supposed to be my one true form? Who I was supposed to turn into eventually? Was this a good or bad person and how would she come to be?I turned again to the wall with the blonde hair and silver eyes. I barely recognized myself in this reflection. But I had to admit blonde hair did look good on me. I reached out to touch the glass. I noticed that my reflection’s hand didn’t reach out. I gasped as I touched the glass and it wasn’t solid. Ripples ran through the image as though it was water. I stepped forward and my hand disappeared into the image. I think I could go through it!Maybe if I did, I’d find out exactly who she was. It was worth a try, right?I took a deep breath and stepped into the glass&hellip

It seemed I entered exactly where I had left off in my nightmare. I was in my room, talking to Posy. “What’s wrong with you Zelda?”“I don’t know.” I whispered. “I don’t know, I’m sorry. I-I let him warp my mind completely and turn me into someone I’m no-”Suddenly it was like I couldn’t say those words anymore. They were being swallowed by something much more powerful. “What I mean to say is Cedric is my husband and I support him in everything he does, like I’m supposed to.” I said in a voice that almost didn’t sound like my own. Posy scoffed. “Whatever Zelda. I hope you’re happy.”I literally was not. “Posy-”“We’re leaving in the morning. I know we said we’d stay longer but-”“Wait, please Posy, stay!” I whispered. “
