Mythic

Lyric couldn't believe it. None of it. It was the kind of thing people told stories about-ancient myths, not moments that actually happened. And yet... here it was. Real. Breathing. Tangled somehow with her own bloodline.
The Tomec's words still echoed in her head, sharp and impossible. Whether they were truth or lies didn't matter anymore; she couldn't ignore them. The paper hidden inside that long-locked locket had been vague, but it had proved one thing-she was part of something much bigger than she'd ever imagined. Something that had taken her parents, and something that now waited for her.
There was only one way to know what really happened-to dive straight into it. Her "destiny," as the Tomec called it. Or, as Zade so helpfully put it, her "imminent demise."
She glanced over at him. He still wore that expression that somehow managed to be both bored and furious, but she saw the worry in his eyes. Not that he'd ever admit it. His version of "I care" was something like, "You're a reckless idiot, and I'm not letting you die alone."
"I'm going in first to make sure it's safe. You follow right after me, got it?" Zade said, voice flat as always. But she caught the tremor beneath it.
Lyric nodded once.
He stepped through the light-careful, controlled. Then she took a breath and jumped, headfirst, into whatever waited on the other side.
