Snowy peaks and many houses surround her. The houses are built on steep rolling hills and flanked by a sapphire river. The river sparkles in the night.The River has ships with sails of varying shapes placed along it permanently, making it navigable.
Amaya blinked surveying her surroundings. She found herself in an unknown place, a city stood before her.
The city's buildings are crafted out of white marble, warm sandstone, and the same red stone of the flat-topped mountains that can be found on the northern edge of the city.
She remembered sleeping in her room,now she had no idea where she is. Did she sleepwalk here. She walked towards the city passing through many shops,cafes,theatres. The night market was vibrant with people bustling on streets, enjoying with their family and loved ones.
Her heart ached watching them, she wanted this too. She had never felt a parent's love,hers were gone before they had a chance to hold her. Her only friend was gone,whoever loved her were gone. Her fate was cruel. She has accepted her fate but it's still hard to cope with it. She wished she had someone to lean on, someone who would lend her a shoulder when things became tough, someone to talk about things she never said aloud.
She felt lonely, standing in this crowd she felt lost. Someone called her name. She looked aside to see cassian running upto her,his face full of worry.
"What are you doing here" Cassian asks
Two more people joined them, rhysand and a lady. She held his arms standing close to him perhaps a lover she thought.She was tall and slim with blue-gray eyes and golden-brown hair.
"How did you come here" rhys asks her his face full of tension,worry.
"I don't know i found myself here" amaya says.
"What do you mean you don't know, tell me how you know about this place" rhys asks her taking a threatening step towards her.
Amaya frowned not understanding anything. Was she not allowed here. Did she break some unknown rules or something. Maybe outsiders weren't allowed in this territory.
"I am sorry did i cross some forbidden entry. I can go back its just am lost, i don't know where to go from here" she says.
"Who is she" the lady asks.
"The woman we told you about" rhys says
Rhys moves towards her and gets stopped by the lady.
"Not here let's go somewhere else" the lady says.
"Feyre's right let's go somewhere else, people are staring" cassian points.
Rhys winnows them in the town house.
Amaya found herself in a place.
"What's going on" she asks looking at cassian.
"Now you will tell me how did you break in here" rhys sternly asks her.
"I don't know how i ended up here, all i remember was falling asleep on my bed and suddenly i was standing in this new place" amaya says.
They share a look between them.
How the hell did she enter into velaris rhys says in their minds.
Did someone break the spell placed on velaris cassian says.
Is that possible feyre asks.
Not that i know of rhys says
Only those who have my permission can enter here and i never gave her my permission. She must have a source rhys says.
"Hey guys can anyone tell me what's going on or you could just join me in your silent conversations" Amaya says earning a glare from rhys.
"Lies won't get you anywhere,tell me truthfully how did you come here" rhys asks amaya.
"Again i really have no idea. Can't you just let me go back" she says.
"Let's call mor here to verify what she said was truth or not" Cassian says.
Next minute a woman entered the room. She was incredibly beautiful, with a curvy body, rich brown eyes, and bright, golden hair. She had tan skin and full lips.
Azriel enters behind her.
"I am here" the woman named mor says.
"Good now tell us if she is telling us the truth" cassian says.
"How did you enter in velaris" mor asks amaya.
"Velaris? Is it the name of this place.I already said i dont know how i got here. When i came back to my senses i was already here" amaya huffs
"She is telling the truth" mor says.
"How could this be,no one can enter velaris without my permission" rhys says.
"Is there another loophole that we don't know" feyre says.
"There is" a voice says entering the room.
Amaya looks at the new figure.She is thin, has smooth, tan skin, chin-length, silky, straight, black hair, and a pretty face bordering on plain. She has angular silver eyes that seem to swirl like smoke under glass.
"Amren what are you talking about do you know something" mor says.
Amren stares at amaya her gaze assessing,calculative. Her eyes meet amaya's,she doesn't flinch away from her and returns the gesture. Amren observes her a minute before giving her a smirk.
"Will you say something now" rhys asks impatiently.
"Long ago an ancient high lord sealed the borders and staged a coup, eliminating the worst of the courtiers and predators, and then building Velaris for the dreamers, establishing trade and peace.
To preserve it, he kept Velaris a secret, and so did his descendants. There are many spells on the city itself—laid by him, and his heirs, that make those who trade here unable to say anything about the city and possess the skill to convincingly lie in order to keep the origin of their goods and ships, hidden from the rest of the world. Rumor has it that the ancient High Lord doused his blood upon the stones and river to keep that spell eternal.
Only the high lord of night can freely enter in velaris and those he grant permission to" amren says.
"Yeah we know that much" cassian says.
Amren rolls her eyes at him before continuing.
"The spells are still intact and Rhys never granted you permission to enter here which leaves only one conclusion"
"You are an heir to night court"
Everyone in the room was shocked not believing what they heard.
"What.."
"What are you saying"
"How could that be"
Voices fills up the room.
"The high lord of the night court and its heirs are the only ones who can enter velaris without any restrictions.
Others like us need the high lord's consent. Rhys before he became a high lord could still enter without his father's permission because of his status of heir. So you must be an heir to the night court. Your blood called you out to this place"
Silence filled the room,everyone remain stood still in their places. No one released a breath.
"I remember now! I knew you looked familiar" feyre screeches.
"What" rhys says still shocked from the revelation.
"You...you came out of the Cauldron. After amren jumped in it a sudden light came out of it and i could see a figure behind it. You are the person who came out of it aren't you" feyre hurriedly says.
If the revelation before wasn't enough now this news had everyone's feet slipping from the ground. Even amren's face held shock.
Amaya looked at everyone, their faces full of shock. She understood now what's happening.
She turns towards feyre "You are right that was me" she gives her a smirk.
