The princess narrowed her eyes as Asteria's heart dropped to her knees. There is no Fiori. It seemed that with her words, time ground to a halt in the space that surrounded her. Everything existed in a vacuum, and there were too many feelings. Too many feelings all at once. There's never been a Fiori for the year and a half I've been alive, Kitsune's words drove the breath from her lungs. All at once Asteria felt like she was drowning and on fire. She'd come all this way. She'd come all this way for nothing. But that wasn't true. The places still existed. The Sunset Falls. The Lovers' Mangrove. They were real places, but they were empty. The possibility of a home had slipped through her fingers once more. It was more than disappointment. There's no alpha called Lionel Adravendi, the words came. There was no alpha by that name... had he passed his legacy onto someone else? Asteria perked up at the news that there were Adravendis here. Hope lived on, a fragile dove within her chest. "Can you tell me where this Valhalla is, and in what direction?" Hope. Fragile, fragile hope. Hope would keep Asteria's course chartered. The princess offered to take the star-soaked woman to the lands she sought. It gave her pause. One beat of her heart. Another. Did she want to see it, even though disappointment hung heavily over her heart. Selene had always said it was among the most beautiful places she'd ever seen. "If it wouldn't be too much trouble," though her voice cracked when she spoke. Today was not a day for crying in front of strangers, Asteria was sure of that much. |
