Plans to Go to Basgiath 

Xaden came out of his room as Violet wakes up and he lets her have a shower. He sighed when he found Zara wrapped in Bodhi's arms and Garrick wrapped around her from behind as they kiss.

"Can you three do it in your room?" The three pull apart and Zara turns red. "And aren't you still healing?" Xaden glares at his cousin.

"I can't have sex with her. Doesn't mean I can't kiss her." Bodhi said with a smirk.

"I don't need to know that." Xaden muttered as he closes the door behind him.

"How's Violet?" Zara asked, pushing hair out of her face and glares at Bodhi.

"She's awake." Xaden said. Zara sags in relief.

"Thank Amari." Bodhi whispered. Xaden looks at Garrick, who had put a hand on Zara's shoulder.

"She's going to have to choose." Zara looked at Xaden. "She'll either keep our secret or she won't."

"That's something you'll have to figure out. And then teach her how to hide it from Aetos if she chooses. If Zara can, she can as well." Garrick said.

"Any word from the fliers?" Xaden asked.

"Syrena is alive, if that's what you're asking. So is her sister, but the rest..." Bodhi shakes his head. Zara moved closer to Garrick.

"You figure out what that box was that Chradh was drawn to back at Resson. The one Zara got out of the clocktower." Xaden said. Zara had given the box over to Garrick as soon as they got to the Riorson house.

"They're working on it right now. Hopefully we'll have an answer in the next couple of hours. I'm glad she's alright, Xaden. I'll tell the others." Garrick said.

"I'll come with." Zara said, not wanting to be around Xaden.

"I'll find you in a bit." Bodhi said. Garrick takes Zara's hand and pulls her down the hall. Everyone was in the dining room.

"How is she?" Imogen stands up.

"She's awake." Zara said. They all sigh in relief. Garrick had introduced the Cadets that Zara didn't know. Eya, Ciaran, and Masen. Bodhi come into the room. Zara went to the counter and poured a mug of coffee.

"What now?" Masen asked.

"We need to wait till Andarna wakes up." Garrick said. Zara couldn't believe that Andarna got big and is now black like Tairn. Adish had showed her what Andarna is. "Plus we have to wait to see what the Assembly says. They aren't happy Violet and Zara are here, but we will be going back."

"Why aren't they happy I'm here?" Zara asked, taking a sip of the coffee.

"Because who your father is." Eya said. Zara frowned. "You fought with us, Princess. You aren't going to sit around. You don't like this secret like we do."

"I don't. And I will not tell anyone I know the truth. I am trusting Cam with this. He's joining the Rider Quadrant." Zara said.

"Whose going to be Halden's heir if he dies?" Imogen asked.

"I'm still in line for the throne even as a rider. But he's marrying my best friend shortly after graduation. So maybe they will have kids and we won't have to worry. I don't want it honestly." Zara said.

"Why's that?" Mason said.

"You be a fine Queen and make sure everyone knows the truth." Imogen said.

"Because she won't rule if me and Garrick aren't at her side." Bodhi said. The others nod.
