“What…?” Ashleigh whispered in shock. “But… how?”
Lian gave her a gentle smile.
“What I am going to tell you will shock you. But it is all true, and I am only telling you because we need your help.”
“What do you mean?” Ashleigh asked and then furrowed her brows. “Wait… you called me the Luna of Summer… but… I hadn’t accepted Caleb yet when I met you… so how–”
“Time works differently here.”
The voice came from behind her. Ashleigh turned and gasped when she recognized Solana, the first Luna of Summer, standing before her.
“This conversation is happening now, in the past, in the future. Here, time folds in on itself with twists and turns,” she continued. “Best not to think too hard about it.”
Ashleigh swallowed.
“So… are you… alive?” she asked.
Solana nodded.
“We all are,” another voice called from behind Ashleigh.
She turned to see the dark woman with the golden curls from the tapestry.
