Green eyes.
Darkness
Salt mines.
Damp.
Red Lips
Chains.
Whirling blades.
Hungry.
Erawan.
So hungry.
Snowfall.
Dying.
Blood.
I'm dying.
Desert sands.
Soon.
Glowing stars
Soon.
"It'll happen soon. The war. The death. It will all come soon Aelin. You can't stop it. You can't save them. All you can do is play your part. For once in your life Aelin, just do what you're told. End this war."
That voice.
I know that voice.
Do I know that voice?
What's a voice?
Just sounds.
I remember sounds.
Piano music in an empty hall.
Giggling voices.
Whispered promises.
Metal on metal.
Screams.
Who's voice?
So many voices.
"Say you love me"
"A thousand years with Prince Whitethorn"
"My name is Sam Courtland, and I will not be afraid"
"Have you come to save me at last, Aelin Galathynius?"
"I name you Elentiya"
"Find the lock"
"To whatever end"
Not those voices.
Someone else's voice.
Can't ... remember.
Do you remember me?
Doesn't matter
Dead eyes
Dying.
Witch killer
Good.
"You could rattle the stars"
No more remembering.
"You're a monster!"
No more pain
"Traitor"
No more fighting
"Liar"
No more losing
"Whore"
No more dying
Inked tatoos
No more loving
leopard fur
No more laughing
Ashryver eyes
No more building
Broken ankle
No more saving
Books to the ceiling
Moving.
Dancing in the firelight
The door is moving
Stones on a grave
Light
Fire rose
"Shit, Aelin"
A beach of fire and wind and glass
"Let's get you out of here"
Spider silk
I'm moving
Running
halls and corridors and doors
Flying
There's air.
I'm outside.
I'm free.
I'm alive.
"Gods Aelin."
Fenrys's face is pinched.
The sky is blue.
And then everything is black.
Hey all!
