Mina was moved to a new room after her initiation into the Shadoweleves.
There were the same stuff in her room as the previous one, and also other things.
Weapons.
Shadowlune weapons in every drawer, every corner.
Throwing stars, daggers, knives, and a place to put her axe.
And a board.
With the Toupins on it.
Mina realized that each and every one of the Toupins were exactly drawn.
A chill ran down her spine.
How did they know?
Annabeth, confident and poised, her pink cheeks making her look sweet too...
Holly, sweet, smiling and as gentle as ever...
Julius, serious and steadfast...
Calla, in Tristan's arms...
Jolie, smacking a smirking Kenric...
Besler, Sesler and Lesler quarrelling...
Clarissa and Leonora, next to each other, so different yet alike...
Reynald, staring at Finella, and next to him, Sammy, looking protectively at his sister, Samirah, who was holding hands with Kyle...
Lavina, Loki, and Leo, talking together...
Xanthous and Elanor, conversing, probably in another language...
Jia En and Chan Lin smiling at each other and laughing...
Don, smiling bashfully in all his dimpled glory...
Dakota, handsome, mature, dark-skinned, unsmiling, his blond hair falling over his forehead...
Mina blushed.
How she missed her family.
And of course Dakota.
Then a thought struck her.
Dakota! She called, her Shadowlune plane activated. She was calling it over a desert in her mind, a desert made out of shadows...
But Dakota's mind was unfamiliar to her.
She fought the rising panic, trying to think of someone, anyone, to push the message across to...
A face popped into her mind.
Dimpled, bashful, he stood in her memories as they flashed, featuring him, always beside her in training with the Toupins, always helpful, always willing.
Don.
Mina hadn't realized until now... No. She couldn't lie to herself.
For in her heart, she knew all along...
That Don had been always there, patiently waiting for her.
Don.
Her heart began to pick up speed as it beated, changing.
Don.
She knew she could call him.
Because she knew him.
Just like he knew her.
She started to gather the Shadowlune, to prepare...
Then the door banged open.
