After a while I fell asleep.
One moment I was lying there staring at the ceiling of the most beautiful room I had ever slept in, listening to the Dawnridge river moving quietly outside my window, and the next moment I was gone.
But it wasn't the kind of sleep that rests you.
It was the kind that takes you somewhere.
Selene pulled me in before I even realised what was happening. I felt her the way I always did when she was doing something intentional a gentle pressure behind my eyes, a warmth that spread through my chest, and then the room disappeared entirely.
I knew it was her because of the way everything felt too sharp to be a dream.The moonlight falling in long pale shafts through a clearing I had never been to in my life.
And two people standing in the middle of it.
My mother.
