A Court of Fire and Ice

Chapter 8 - Rhysand

Dorian and Chaol were actually quite nice once they relaxed a little, I still couldn't see Feyre and the bond was weak, like she was far away, I hoped for her sake she was still in Velaris, but I had a horrible feeling that she wasn't.

"Rhysand?"

I realised I had been lost in the bond, or what is left of the bond.

"Sorry, and you can call me Rhys, only the people who hate me use my full name."

"Right, Rhys, what are you looking for?" Dorian's gaze was clear when I met his eyes.

"I was flying with my mate when I was dragged here, I don't know where she is."

"She isn't in the palace; I would have heard about it by now."

"That" it was all I got out before a roar sliced through the room

"I swear, if she does that every time, she comes to visit I'll have no citizens left." Dorian looked slightly irritated but also amused.

"Dorian!" quick precise footsteps sounded from down the hall "Dorian if you don't tell me why there was a surge of magic here, I will gut you!"

A female with moon white hair and a blood red cloak appeared through the doors looking beyond pissed.

"Manon, put your nails away, there is a perfectly good reason."

I decided to step in before she used the deadly looking nails on any of us.

"I would be the reason for the power surge."

She stared at me for a long time.

"And who might you be?" the pissed look had left her face and she was now looking at me like I was her next meal, oh well, that's nothing new.

"My name is Rhysand."

She stalked over to me, iron nails glinting.

"well, Rhysand, how did one man manage to rip a hole in the world?"

She was stood right in front of me now, she could gut me with one flick of her wrist.

"I wasn't the one who made the portal, I was the one who fell through it."

"Liar" she snarled at me before attacking.

I winnowed to the other side of the table and she whirled to me.

"I'm not lying to you, I was just flying with my mate then I was here, I would love to know why but I don't."

"You can't fly."

"You have got to be kidding me" I sighed before showing her what I showed the other two.

She was seething when I was done.

"How dare you go into my head"

"Don't call me a liar and I won't have to."

"I'm going to Terresen, this place wasn't the only one with a power surge."

Feyre

"I'm coming with you"
