Lion and his mate

Mother....

Nemesis POV.

We marched right into ruins. Aelin walked slowly toward stone chest peerked inside of it and then she froze.

She called for Manon. For there was no Lock. That is not where Mala's lock has been hiding.

But it was something. Nature wouldn't hide from nothing. It was a mirror. Huge,very beautifully made and old and possibly very very powerful,for such power held this place for a long time and many avoided as much as they could.

We decided it was no place or time to figure put what was the meaning of the mirror.

But I got that feeling,feeling that usually means it will happend very,very strange things. And voice. It would not leave me.

I hissed and everyone else turned around and I said "Nothing. Mala's lock maybe weren't there but mirror was and I feel like some presence,some magic is also here. "

Aelin looked at me and asked "Is it possible to be...",I cutted her off " No,no. In Aurelia there were such things,but in Erilea I never heard something like that happend. And the voice. Aelin. I...",I stopped,not being able to speak anymore and she nodded,understanding how I felt.

"But there is not time,we must go. ",I said and turned around on my feet and marched out of the ruins to get some fresh air.

But while others were coming out,I got that feeling again and I heard voice. But that time,by the expression of others,they heard it too.

"What is this?!",Lorcan hissed and I paled,knowing and recognizing voice once more and I turned around and returned to the ruins.

I sprinted toward chamber with stone chest and others were follow,but when we did,strange things were began to happend.

As I always had feeling it would.

From now empty stone chest,silver smoke were rising and light suddenly rushed into chamber and around chest appeared ring of fire,beautiful but terrible.

I was in awe. I was enchanted.

But when smoke began to shape,to shape into figure,female to be precise,my whole world stopped and I did something that I never did,even for Aelin.

I fell on my knees,bowing to the figure.

Third POV.

Nemesis fell on her knees. Others tried not to look so shocked about it,as some kind of pride was always around Nemesis.

But they were concerned. About me and that figure,not knowing who would it be.

Fenrys jumped to help me and Gavriel looked worried and opened his mouth but Aelin stopped them with one single look.

Ground trembled,but Nemesis didn't mind,possible,didn't even noticed,as light grew stronger,until in bliss of it,from silver smoke,appeared one female.

And the light was gone but ring of fire was still there.

This female,as they were worried about was not Maeve not any other female they knew.

This female was tall and proud,not taller than Nemesis,but it was grace in her movements with shapes of well trained warrior. Her hair was shining white with traces of purple and black in and her eyes,her eyes were green. Somehow they reminded Aelin on Rowan's eyes but while he had colour of pine trees,this female had even deeper shade,like whole forest was in her eyes,and some force was in them.

Nemesis opened her mouth to speak but close them as they trembled with force not to cry.

Aelin walked toward her slowly in support to her friend.
