Zayn’s POV:

It shines blue and green under the glow of fire, gives off reflection under bright light. It’s too soft and magnificent in my fingers, too precious as well. Holding it up to my face, I see the sunlight try to escape past the soft bristles of the feather and lighting it up in fire in process.

I had run into the woods with Agni flying over my head after what happened. But Liam knew the woods like the back of his hand. And if he doesn’t want to be found, he doesn’t.

After an hour of shouting for him to come out and looking around, I left. With the feather tucked safely in my pocket.

I still don’t know what actually happened. I didn’t expect Agni to choose again for me. Maybe he realized That Princess isn’t the one for me, and Liam is the one for me?

But why he chose that specific moment is beyond me. He could have chosen Liam when he was still with me. Or after he had forgiven me, if does forgive me, that is. But Agni chose to choose him when he left me.

Upon my own actions, I know. But still.

Nobody but I witnessed it happen. And I’m unsure of what to do with this. I’ll stop the wedding for sure, but how am I going to tell people my second chosen one is a commoner and a boy at that one?

My head buzzes with questions like this. If this news gets out, I know people will start panicking that the end is near.

“Hey”

I look over to see Louis. Of course I told him, I don’t think I can ever keep something from him. And he believed me, even though it was unbelievable.

Because as far as we know, Agni doesn’t do second chances. But he has, for first time. And he doesn’t choose boys. But he has, again. For the first time. Both of this happening out of nowhere is unbelievable.

“Hey” I respond and turn back to the feather in my fingers. It’s so beautiful, so unique. How god took time to create every single bristle with amazing colors amazes me.

“What are we going to do?” he asks, sitting down beside me. He has thankfully shut the door after him, because no one else knows about this.

“I have got few plans in mind” I murmur, still staring at the feather. Agni has went out for a bit, and something tells me he’ll be back shortly.

“Which are?”

“Need to talk to Paul about something” I tell him and pull him close. After the whole argument with Liam, I really need someone to hold me and tell me that they won't leave me. I go on to tell him about everything I have been thinking regarding this and he listens intently, holding my hand in his supportively.

“We can just tell them all” he suggests “There would be no need of wedding”

“Last time this happened, a whole tribe was destroyed” I tell him “What’s the possibility that it won't happen again?”

“Yeah…” he agrees “Zayn, Wilbur said something that day”

I thought about it too. He said something along the lines of ‘Stop buying the lies they are feeding you’ and thought I am innocent. I have no idea who he was talking about, but despite all the murders he had done, I know he meant what he said.

He could have killed me easily. But he let me live for some reason. I need to figure out what it is.

“Whom did he mean?” I ask blankly. “Devine?”
