Freya's POV
As I followed Lucian into the trees, I noticed that the moon was high in the night sky, giving the forest a silvery shine. He strolled purposefully as if he had been on this way a thousand times, and he exuded peaceful assurance.
"Where are we heading? My voice was quiet as I asked.
Lucian said, "You'll see," without turning around.
With each stride, the uneasiness in my chest increased, but my curiosity kept me going. He possessed the information I sorely needed regarding my mother, my ancestry, and the weird force that was developing within me.
At last, we arrived at the entrance to a secret cavern, concealed behind a wall of thick vines. Lucian shoved the leaves away, exposing a shadowy doorway.
"In there? I paused and looked into the darkness.
"Yes," he said. "What you're looking for is inside."
