Aelin was herself yet she was not, her heart kept breaking into a thousand pieces as it kept yearning for love. Deprived of love she was, and screams broke out of her as her body kept breaking at the impact of falling down and down into a dark abyss she never ought to see again. Aelin Galathynius sobbed again and again, she was saddder then ever, somehow Conalls words hit home. She was simply sad. Her wildfire spread and she heard someone, she heard a prince of ice and wind scream for her, she heard her prince and his screams made her panic even more, so she lost control and singed him, she regretted it even if she couldn't control herself, she yearned for him. And then the fire broke and in ran her mate, determined to get her, he ran and lost his path and then found it, then ground parted and he almost fell but froze the ground and ran to her but her unstableness pushed him away. So Aelin laid down on the ground and hugged herself as tears once again leaked out of her eyes.

Rowan was exhausted but somewhere in his old bones he knew he had to get Aelin out no matter what
To whatever end
He had promised, he ran and ran, she kept getting further away. And then he, with a single thought cut of the air to her fire and the fire stopped spreading. Minute by minute the ash fell and Aelin was no more surrounded in fire and due to lack of warmth she looked up and saw him, Rowan ran to her and hugged her. She let out her tears on his shoulder, she then hugged him back and they sat there hugging for a long time. Aelin's body was shaking and shivering and she felt cold. But she would be fine, after all Rowan was here, she was home.
And Rowan pulled her up and guided her back to the half burned war camp. She hugged him on the way, he noticed how a few witches gave her wary looks and he just glared at them, he met manon near a sleeping bag and helped Aelin sit down on it and placed his cloak around her, she placed her head on his shoulder. Thankfully her body temperature began to normalise. She looked weary and exhausted, after a few minutes Rowan heard soft snoring by his ear and smiled softly, he also just to make sure her safety fell asleep.

Aedion Ashryver was terrified of the upcoming battle, Oh he wasn't showing it but he was, Elide and lysandra got Dorian to contact chaol and yrene. They were on their way. Aedion on his horse was rushing towards orynth, he had no idea how to tell Darrow but he tried, as soon as he reached the palace where once he played as a kid, he ran in straight to the library where Darrow was usually found, as soon as Aedion entered the room. Darrow's eyes shot straight up from the book he was reading.
"I didn't know you were in terrasen." Darrow said
"And I didn't know you could read." Aedion replied with a glint or mischief in his eyes. The lord rolled his eyes
"You must have a reason of arriving without notice." Darrow asked as he got up and walked to a book shelf and placed the book in
"Pretty much yes." Aedion replied as he followed the lord
"So where's your cousin." He asked
"She's your queen as well." Aedion growled
"She's no queen, that latter can't return to fight for her homeland herself., so why am I supposed to call her my queen." Darrow replied coolly
"Aelin is busy, she is." Aedion snarled
"Busy? Busy in wooing fae men." Darrow said with a scoff
"Excuse me, I don't particularly give a damn, but she, according to a letter I received from her, has destroyed Maeve and is on her way to terrasen." Aedion said
"She enveloped a whole city of innocent civilians in fire, just because they were supposedly torturing her male." Darrow retorted
"Her mate." Aedion corrected
"Whatever boy, she is foolish, that girl will be the end of terrasen." Darrow said and left the library.
Aedion grabbed a vase from the table and threw it against the wall in anger and left the library and the castle and ventured a bit away from orynth into perranth the to gather the bane.

Dorian was roaming around the forest of Oakwald alone and unbothered as he heard the beating of wings and a huge gush of wind pushed him away, a huge shadow landed or rather a wyvern. A smirk played on his lips as he approached it. But the person on the wyvern ruined his mood.
Duke perrington or rather erawan got off the wyvern and came eye to eye with Dorian havilliard who stood with his back resting on a tree trunk and his hands on his sword Damaris as he pricked his finger with the edge of the sharp end.
"You again." Erawan scoffed
"Yes, the one and only, and you're favourite of course." Dorian replied with a hard gaze
"Now I reckon you must explain your thoughtful reason of approaching me again thrice in the same month." Dorian said
"My offer still stands." Erawan said
"Offer? you want me to fight beside you, so you have a victorious end." Dorian said
"Well now your powers aren't enough to destroy Aelin Galathynius but they'd be enough to wreck havoc on her mate and she'd prolly give up then for him." Erawan said proud of his scheme
"You think my powers aren't enough to destroy the girl." Dorian said
Erawan made a face and nodded
"Then duel me duke, and I'll show you how powerful I am." Dorian said
Erawan angled his scythe(I know he doesn't have one but I wanted to give him one) and attacked, Dorian pushed out his sword with ice, he froze Erawan in place , then melted the duke and used his phantom hands to play with the duke. He melted the top of the scythe off. Then Dorian swing Damaris at Erawan and cut his arm and kicked Erawan in the face , as Erawan fell Dorian created a pool of flames in which Erawan fell. When the dark king stood up with darkness surrounding him, his arm was leaking black blood. Erawan yelled in anger and ran to Dorian with scythe swinging and whips of darkness. Dorian's phantom hands grabbed the scythe mid attack and his flames burned the whips of darkness. He swung Damaris again and Erawan met the attack with his scythe and the impact of the clash could be heard, the trees near them withered away. Dorian swing Damaris with daggers if ice at Erawan and the sword chopped of some of his hair and six ice daggers struck Erawan and he got impaled. Erawan teleported back to morath surrendering to Dorian. This had occurred twice before but the duke always returned.
Dorian smirked as he sat on the wyvern of Erawan and flew up in the air and prepared to open a portal to a land of ice and rain, a land of stars to get help from a fellow lord.
