Milo looked back at where the Ostium had been. It faded the moment he and the Spriggan stepped through the Ostium. A shiver ran down his spine. “That was close.”
The Spriggan hooted and danced around, then grabbed onto him. “We are safe and you are alive.” He hugged Milo tight. “I am so happy. I didn’t think I’d ever see you again.”
Milo hugged him back. “Tell me what’s been going on. Where are the others?”
“Well done, little one. I knew you could do it.”
Milo turned around. The Spriggan peeked out from behind him. A woman stood watching them. She was tall with long dark hair and kind green eyes that matched her long, flowing gown. A warm glow surrounded her. “It is nice to meet you both.”
“Who are you?” asked the Spriggan, stepping out from behind Milo.
“I am Tanit,” she said.
