Chapter 19 It hasn’t even been twenty-four hours and I’m already lost in the woods of Tir Na Nog. I’m stupid for chasing my dumb heart to someone who doesn’t deserve it. This place is more ominous than I gave it credit for and I see it all too clearly now that my rose-colored glasses have been ripped off. I lost my trail at least an hour ago. The gift of flight would be fantastic right about now. My throat tightens, and tears are in the waiting, but I’m too scared to let them loose. And too angry. Here on this day, I vow to be stronger. I’ll do my darndest never to depend on someone else for my safety. I sunk the freakin’ island of Atlantis. I was a strong queen. Correction. I am a strong queen. I can certainly survive these woods. It’s time I learn to stand on my own two feet. Four hoo
