Ashleigh gasped and turned around.
Galen was gone, and the training room was gone.
She was on a hill, overlooking a territory so large she couldn’t see its end. Yet, above her, the moon, full and bright, looked down with a warmth and presence that calmed her heart.
It was the same as the first time she had met the Valkyrie.
Only this time, she could see the owner of the voice. She sat on the ground, staring up at the moon. She was still wearing her ancient armor, her hair tied back in four large braids.
“Luna Lily?” Ashleigh called out.
“Mostly,” the woman replied.
Ashleigh stepped forward, looking out over the land.
“Where are we?” Ashleigh asked.
“A place between,” Lily replied.
“Between what?” Ashleigh asked.
“Nevermind,” Lily sighed.
Ashleigh looked down at her.
“What do you mean, mostly?” she asked.
Lily took a breath and sat back, lifting her face to the moon.
