A Court of Shift and shadow

LI

Galads POV:

I stood quiet in the back of the room, watching as Azriel walked back and forth.  We had moved room ro the bigger one up in the House of Winds. The one at the River House was still being fixed after my outbreak... Not my proudest moment in life.

"What is the next step?" Dad asked, Azriel still walking.

"We should never had send her in..." Azriel said back, I wanted to agree, but Katie would look at me and tell me to let it go.

"She have given us more information then we ever could have hoped for." I said, "Vanka, how is the search for her going?"

"Feyre has still not found her, Teran has hidden her well, if she is alive." Dad said. "We could just go in and atack, but that will put Katie in danger."

"Can we atack and send in a team to get her out?" I asked. "I can go alone..."

"No." Dad said getting up. "Your powers are too unstable, and we cant risk having more spies captured in that Keep, Katie is good at keeping herself safe. Any thing we do can make it harder for her."

"So, what can we do then?" I asked.

"We can try a diplomatic way, but we have nothing that Hybern wants. And if Katies report is correct, and the goal of the King is to kill us like he did with Tamlin... I am not sure if a Diplomatic meeting is something that will happen." Dad joined Az in walking.

"Her information is right." Even if the bond had gone quiet after. Not quiet, but blocked. Like a glass wall had been placed between ur minds. "So send the King a letter, telling him to meet with us or open war will happen. That is at least something we can do..." And not just walk around, talking.

"It is not so simple Galad." Dad said.

"Is it not? Kaite is risking her life right now, and all we do is to walk and talk." I sighed "I need som air."

"Go." Az said, "We will talk later." He stoped my dad from saying anything else. Letting me leave and go out.

The order to stay inside was still out, War camps had been prepared all along the coast. One word and we could atack. One word and hell would break loose, and in the chaos all I could do was to wait and hope that Kaite could get out, or that once the battle was over, I could find her.

My powers was rumbling inside, the ice cracking. I took of into the sky. Hoping to get away before my Powers would erupt. But the ice froze again, and the danger was over. Not do to me controlling it, it just stoped. I landed on the cliff in the opening to the bay, overviewing Velaris. The same one I so often had returned to with Katie after our flights. The seagulls screamed, and I waited to hear her response. No came. Instead a hissing was heard behind me. I drew my swords, turning and got ready to fight who ever it was that snecked up on me.

The creature that stood there was one that should be dead, one that no one had seen for 200 years. The Suriel smiled with its lipless month, the bony fingers and face looked more dead then living. We had tried to caught one when Mor got sick, but no one was found. Not even mom had found one. The suriel kept on smiling. I had no snare to catch it with, no way to ask a question. But it stood there waiting. Watching.

"You are the Cursebrakers son." It then said.

"Yes I am." I lowered my blades.

"The one gifted with the Powers from Illyrians, High Fae, and a humans heart." It then said. "Mate with the Shifter."

"Yes." I put my blandes back.

"She is running out of time, but she is kind." The suriel moved around. "She is traped and still not. Her powers is free even if she is not. But the bond is blocked. The Seers visions is not complete, one part is missing."
