A Court of Darkness and an Heir of Fire

Chapter 10

Marion

I woke up before dawn. And I twisted and turned till the sun rose above the horizon. At last I gave up and sat on my bed. My eyes first went to the table beside my bed which has my knife that I immediately clutch in my hands. Self-Defense

I didn't have the opportunity to think about my chamber yesterday because I was so tired that I think I slept on that attendant, who I think was named Cerridwen only. I think about last night. It was fun. The theatres , Sevenda's restaurant food was delicious . God's Above it was so good. The river side by The Sidra and flying with Dwayne.  A small smile appears on my lips but I am not sure why it did. Mom and dad must be so worried. Aunt Elide, Manon, Aunt Lys, Aedion. I sigh. Thinking about home is making me sad. I miss fleetfoot and most importantly Terassen grounds and my parents. No matter how much these places are beautiful , my Terassen is the best. I make a mental note to ask whoever this Amren is whether she could find anything important from The Library. I get down from the bed and realize that I am still in that pale-green gown. I make my way over to the cup-board and see that in it, is a cloth which is like these Night Cout people. It is black or very dark purple that it appears black and it almost looks like a gown or maybe a long frock. Within the dress, neatly kept is a bra and pairs of panties. I can't help the sudden heat and redness that flows to my cheeks and eventually my whole face.

The dress is soft with silks and cotton. It is fairly light and it doesn't have much frills (which I hate. I once cut out all the frills from one of my gowns had and walked down to the Court. Aelin and Rowan did laugh out loud, and Aunt Lys was almost rolling on the floor). I smile sadly again thinking about my family. I take off the crown and comb my hair into two braids which makes me look so younger. There's a soft knock on the door, but before I open it , I secure my crown on my forehead, look at myself in the mirror and repeat "I am Marion Galathynius Whitethorn and I will not be afraid. I promise I will come back to you mom and dad. I do". A smiling Feyre greets me on opening the door. "Did you sleep well Marion?", she asks me kindly. "Yes, thank you. Did Amren find out anything ?"She sighs. "Come down for breakfast. We will talk there, okay?""Yes I guess..."She gets up and closes the door behind her. I sit for some-time thinking if I have anything to do but having decided that I have nothing to do I make my way downstairs. On the hallway there are some beautiful painting about various scenery There is even a picture on stars falling from the sky. The picture is so beautiful that I was taken off-guard when Dwayne came and spoke into my ears, "That's Nightfall". I flinched and got away from him, he was just a hair-breath away from me. ~~Bastard!~~ He just scared the hell out of me and now look at him! He is laughing! I roll my eyes. "Don't disturb our guest Dwayne!", the person who was named Mor said from behind. She is wearing an exquisite blood-red gown and wine-red lipstick. Her blonde hair is open along her shoulders. "I am doing nothing Aunt Mor!", he exclaims. I chuckle and Mor pushes us both to the tables where breakfast was already served. Feyre and Rhysand are sitting on the head of the table. I guided to a place right to them just beside Mor and Dwayne. Opposite to me is the two persons who were Azriel and Cassian. On the other side was sitting Amren. On my plate there were various foods, some which I couldn't name. They all were equally delicious. My attention snapped back from foods when Rhysand asked me, "So how did you like Velaris?""Oh it was delicious, no-umm...erm....I mean beautiful...", I reply with a mouthful of turkey and toast. i gulp them all down in one go and reply in a more princess-like manner, "It was really very beautiful. The Sidra, The rainbow of Velaris , the theaters and Sevenda's restaurant." Rhysand and most of the people chuckle sitting at the table chuckle. I look at Amren and ask her, "Did you find anything out?""I am not sure girl. But in The Library there was a book that said , some years before the Cauldron was formed , there were three gods who were considered the head for all the fae. When the Cauldron was created, on the underside of the cauldron there were some weird symbols in it that caused a gap between realms. These gaps could be controlled by will. The cauldron fell through the gap and as far as I think, the Cauldron and landed in a place which is now known to be Prythian. And so the other world might be your realm"."Are-re you sure Amren?", Rhysand asks. He looks at Feyre. "Then it can mean that there are other fae out there?", Cas asks. Amren nods. Mor's eyes go wide with surprise and Azriel immediately excuses himself from the table telling that he needs to tell this to his most-trusted spies. ~~All the worlds are connected . There is a chance I might be able to return. I can again see my parents but it's a small string hope and I guess that's all I need to make it possible.~~ "And which world are you from?", I ask Amren. Everyone at the table snap their head to me . "I am fae as everyone else.", she states without looking into my eyes. "Yes...probably", I say and Amren narrows her eyes but I am already gulping down my food. No matter how much she says that she is fae, something is definitely off and eerie about her. Something that I think I can figure out.But not now. Now is not the time

Sorry for the too big chapter. Couldn't help it..lol
