Those eyes, I wouldn't mistake it for another. It was definitely Eros I saw in my vision.

Was there truly a way for Eros to still be alive? I wasn't sure myself.

Adonis, Lord Shevek, and everyone else have confirmed that Eros was killed. They told me they saw Pison rip his heart out of his chest.

A chill ran through me.

I don't know what to believe, but my visions have always turned out to be true, and if I were to go by that, then Eros was alive somewhere, buried under ice.

That would mean that he needed me.

That would lead to another difficult question. Where exactly would I go to look for him? I only saw a glimpse of him under ice, but I had no idea where exactly that was.

It was almost a hopeless cause.

Tiara stayed down on the ground, her eyes in a daze as she thought about what she had seen.

No longer interested in the fight, I shifted into human form, still sitting in the same position Tiara sat unmoving.

""Eden?" My father called out.

I ignored him, lost in my thoughts.

I barely noticed when he closed the distance between us and touched me on the shoulder. I jumped up, startled.

"Eden." He said softly.

""Yes?" I answered looking up at him from my position.

"Are you okay? What's on your mind?" He asked.

At first I hesitated. I felt a strong urge to tell him exactly what I saw and that Eros might be alive. But I shook my head and looked away.

Not because Lord Shevek couldn't be trusted, but more because it sounded ridiculous to tell him that Eros, who we all thought was dead, was possibly alive somewhere, buried under ice.

I couldn't tell him what I just saw. He wouldn't believe me, no one would, not when they claimed they saw Eros get killed.

Besides, I could hardly believe it myself. It would be terrible to give the people hope only for it to turn into a lie.

I would hate to do that.

"I'm fine." I finally answered him. "Nothing is wrong."

Lord Shevek raised his brow in disbelief. "Your face says otherwise." He said.

I sighed, trying to rack my brain for any answer I could find to keep him from asking.

"I just feel a little light-headed, and my stomach hurts." I replied.

Lord Shevek's expression softened quickly. "Let's get you checked." He stretched out his hand to me, and I accepted.

He helped me to my feet as I adjusted my appearance and tried hard to look presentable.

"We don't have a healer. " I said.

"Your mother might be able to detect what is wrong. Or better still, you can rest up." He said.

I highly doubted that, but I didn't argue because it was just a charade in the first place.

I followed my father away from the spot we trained as he led me by the hand to my tent.

My mother was already waiting for us in the tent. She had Zion in her arms while Lily was asleep beside her.

She looked up when she heard us enter the room, and her smile fell into a small frown as she noticed my somber mood. "What is going on?" She asked.

I shook my head before my father could answer. "Nothing. I just need to get a proper rest." I said.

My mother nodded in understanding. "You need one," she said. "Let's leave you to get some rest. Shevek and I will be with the children."

She stood up, Zion in her arms while her father picked up Lily, and together, they left the tent.

I sighed and sat on the makeshift bed, my mind preoccupied by the vision I saw.

I would give anything to know where Eros was.

"Help me." I prayed softly, my heart earnestly hoping that I would be able to get the help I need. "Please moon goddess, show me exactly where Eros is."

Suddenly I felt a strong wind blow over me. It was hot and uncomfortable, however, my eyes began to close as I fell asleep, lying across against the soft makeshift bed...

I saw myself in a quiet forest surrounded by mountains and trees. A few feet away from where I stood, a cave was opened.

Curious, I moved forward. There was a strange pull that called to me. This cave had a very unusual feeling to it, like some kind of power was attached to it.

The ancient inscriptions etched into

the walls of the cave drew my

attention and I stretched my hands to touch it. It felt slippery to my. touch and immediately I recoiled, a

feeling of disgust crept through me.

Where was this place?

I turned and looked around. Nothing was familiar.

I followed the narrow path I was on deeper into the cave and in no time, I came to a more open space.

I wasn't expecting this place to have a better view than where I walked through.

Fire torches were also attached to the walls, and the inscriptions on the wall were clearer, along with diagrams of Alpha wolves.

In the middle of the space, a pool of blue waters glowed from within.

I stood in awe of what I was seeing.

This looked like some kind of royal ritual room.

The same feeling I had before I entered the cave gripped me again, and I walked closer to the pool. When I was close enough, I knelt beside it and stared into the water.

I frowned when I noticed something odd. In the middle of the pool, a huge, iced ball sat unmoving.

The image I had of Eros flashed through me.

Ice. Could it be this?

Without hesitation, I jumped into the water, grateful for my good swimming skills.

I swam to the bottom of the pool and grabbed the ice ball with both of my hands trying to move it. It was useless. I placed my face closer and squinted as I saw a figure inat, but it

had its back turned to me.

I hit my fist against the ball, trying to break it and that must have alerted the figure as it suddenly turned to me.

I backed away quickly in surprise. For a moment, I wrapped my arms around my body in shock as I looked at him. Eros was alive.

But how would I get him out of here?

I was already staying too long under water as I had begun to lose air. I swam to the top quickly and gasped.

I took my time to look around again, and suddenly things fell into place.

Eros once told me that he had done a fortification ritual in a cave with a blue stream and inscriptions on the wall. The firetruck, the raised platform for the elders. This was the place.

I felt a butterfly feeling in the pit of my stomach as I realised I had identified the place Eros was.

But still, I needed someone who knew the way here. Not anyone can locate such a sacred place. I need someone with a connection to the elders.

Maybe she isn't the best choice,

considering her father's betrayal by

taking sides with Pison; however,

Sussie loved Eros and would do anything to win favor with him. could use that to my advantage.
