By Ignas, it was from the dream Alaris had shown her.
Eli's brother had been the one to say it in that dream, after killing their father's Black stallion and holding the creature's heart in his tiny hands.
She could still remember the little white humanoid creature Alaris had created in the child's place because he had been invisible too in that dream. She could remember him jumping around excitedly and talking about a heart Collection.
They had both been invisible in that dream. Was it really because of the connection he claimed they shared or something else?
Something stronger.
A shiver ran down her spine, goosebumps laced her arms and this wasn't from the cold.
Maybe Alaris was Eli's dead brother and he had just been lying to her to hide his real identity because he didn't trust her not to tell Eli or Lady Kestra about it.
