What if Aelin never met Rowan, what if when she was on her way to Wendlyn her ship crashed and she was sent to a foreign world where she met a mysterious court. But who will pull her out of the dark?
None of the characters in this fanfic belongs to...
The preparations for the dinner party were done. They wouldn't have had an actual dinner party for Nyx if it wasn't for the fact that Eris was also visiting. If he wasn't they would have just had a tiny dinner party with their family without much fuss about the decorations, it would have been a lot more relaxed. And a lot less stressful.
Celaena POV
Rhysand and Feyre's son was coming home. Celaena didn't know much about him because she had only been told that he was 33 years old, of course having stopped aging when he was around 25 and that his name was Nyx. But based on the people that raised him she assumed he was a good person.
She was currently looking through her closet for a dress to wear. It took some time but far back in the closet she found a dress fitting for the occasion. Mor had said that the dress code was formal which is why she had found a dress that was only in one color but still looked amazing.

The dress was completely white and it went down to the middle of her thighs. But at the same time it stood out by having an extravagant neckline, she absolutely loved it, it kind of reflected the part of her personality that was dramatic. She sat down on the stool in front of the desk in her room. Someone had laid cosmetics all over the top of the desk with some beautiful jewelry to add to it. Celaena chose a necklace with a polished sapphire on it and some earrings that matched. On her lips she had used a blood red lipstick and she had also highlighted some places on her face with powder. Her hair was curled and hanging down her back with some pieces done into a braid on the back of her head.

She was ready to go.
Nyx POV
Nyx was flying over Velaris, he was looking forward to seeing his family again. It had been a long time since he had seen them and he missed all of them a lot. His father had told him that a mortal girl named Celaena Sardothien had arrived in the Night Court through a portal from another world. Nyx wasn't really sure what to think of that but based on what his dad had told him she wasn't much to worry about.
Eris was going to winnow into Velaris and there Cassian would fly him in, he had apparently lost a competition against Azriel. In the last weeks that he was gone him and Eris had been planning the assassination of Beron, it was about time that Beron died anyway, Eris had been planning it since before Nyx was born so it was about time the plan was set into action. He could see the balcony of the house and as he lowered himself down on it his mother was already there and she brought him into a hug. "Hello sweetheart." she said, "Hello mom."
His dad was in the sitting room along with Cassian, Nesta, Eris, Elain and Mor. The only one missing was Azriel and of course the girl he hadn't met yet, Celaena.
Azriel POV
Azriel knocked on Celaena's door, he was supposed to follow her to the dining room. He could hear footsteps and then she opened the door, she looked absolutely gorgeous. "Hi" she said to him and he offered her his arm, and as they walked down the hallway they were accompanied by comfortable silence.
All of the others were in the dining room and when him and Celaena entered all heads turned to them. Azriel had never really liked when that happened, it made him a little uncomfortable. Nyx went up to them and shook Celaena's hand while introducing himself. They sat down, Celaena was to the right of him and Nyx was right in front of him. Feyre and Rhysand were sitting at the head of the table like they normally did. They sat and ate the food that was on the table and Eris was the first one to speak. "I'm Eris, the heir to the autumn court. Who are you?" his question was directed towards Celaena, "I'm Celaena Sardothien, the King's Champion and Adarlan's Assassin." she answered him. Azriel had a feeling that this wasn't going to end well.
Celaena POV
Celaena liked the inner circle even Nyx whom she had just met, but she wasn't completely sure if she liked Eris, he seemed a little bit too arrogant. She knew she was arrogant herself, but Eris was on a whole other level, she didn't know if she had ever met anyone more arrogant than Eris, maybe Arobynn was, but in some moments during the dinner she even doubted that.
The inner circle and Eris were talking about their plans on how to kill Beron, and even if it was the type of topic she normally would have been interested in, she didn't really pay attention, all her attention was on the dessert they were now eating. It was so good. She could hear that what the others were talking about had drifted to another topic, something about reckless decisions. And then Eris's voice started rising on top of the others. "I know you guys are very reckless sometimes, but that still doesn't explain why you've brought a Firebringer into your home. And a powerful one at that."
It was official, she definitely did not like Eris.
Author's Note
So, I decided to bring Nyx into this story, even if I started writing it before reading acosf. He is most likely the only character from the book that I will be writing into the story. Maybe Gwyn and Emerie will be written in because I absolutely love them both. But if I do decide to do that they will only be introduced as being Nesta's friends.
