In a particular room within the palace, a portal suddenly opened, causing a body to come hurtling through the wormhole. Elena crashed onto the ground with a loud thud as the portal swiftly closed. For a few moments, she lay still, so motionless that one might assume she was dead, and for valid reasons. Her clothing was dark, making it difficult to see the blood stains, but she was gravely wounded.
However, being a Fae, Elena could not die from the death blow that Islinda had inflicted by cutting her tendon during their brutal fight. She lay there, slowly recovering, and once all her wounds had healed, she finally rose to her feet.
With a soft grunt, Elena ripped the mask from her face, causing the magical trick she had applied to her eyes to revert from blue back to their original golden color. And yes, this Elena from the Raysin family was the assassin who had successfully attempted to murder Islinda.
