I could stay in town and try to find my feet again but how would I do that, knowing that I would bump into Jason or Lila one day? I couldn't bear to see them together, not now—not anytime soon.

When we went back to our hometown for the New Year, my parents once again forgot about me and left me behind in an unmanned rest stop in the freezing weather… When I got out of the rest stop washroom, I saw Mandy and Matthew enter the car. I was about to follow them when I saw the car start to drive away. I immediately ran behind the car and yelled, “Dad! Mom!

My lips trembled as I kept mumbling, “Dad, mom, I’m not in the car yet…”

I stood before the heavy ancient walls and felt my long-stilled heart beat with joy again. I wandered into Sunreach, gazed at murals painted a thousand years ago, crossed into the Vale of Legends I’d only ever read about, and finally stood at Crystalmere, staring at that hidden jewel of green.

"I'm leaving" I heard his faint voice, and I smiled "You just want to leave me like they all did, everybody leaves me that's what you all are good at," I said turning away and facing the other side, a slow tear fell from my eyes

“I’m here to help you.” Aria clenched her fists. “Help me? You kidnapped me!” Vaelin only smiled, lifting his hand. Instantly, the surrounding mist vanished, revealing a vast chamber lined with towering pillars inscribed with ancient symbols. Aria glanced around, searching for an exit. But there was no door.
