Prologue
Other girls get college dorms.
They are asked to parties.
They get boyfriends and little gifts.
What do I get?
Kidnapped.
I’m a college dropout by now.
I’ve been away for much too long to maintain any grade.
The only box I got wrapped was my dagger, with my bond stabbed the lady who tortured him.
I need to find him, though.
I cover the mirrors in my castle quickly.
I order my maids to do it, bursting into their quarters so I don’t waste my energy sending vibrations through the castle to summon them.
No one else is here.
I find their sleeping area and knock on all the doors.
I barge into what I am pretty sure is Ezra’s room.
He’s gone.
I run to the courtroom.
I call for people.
The castle is completely empty.
I need help.
I can’t just fight Odin myself.
Can I?
I try to call people in the street to the podium.
I project my voice.
No one so much as turns their head.
I try to stop a lady and a man.
He flips me off, stepping in front of his girl.
Fuck.
They’re just headed to evacuate, I tell myself.
I did just break the sky…
I search for the power within me.
I can feel it sitting on the edge of mine, so I summon everything I’ve got.
I reattach the shield built by the many founders back into place.
That should help.
Still, no one will listen.
I will have to do this alone.
I march towards Kai.
I can’t feel where he is, but I will find him.
