She smiled.
“Dearen will want to come with you,” she said. “I can sense Gethin already planning his leave.”
“We won’t leave you alone,” I said. “Dearen can stay and...”
“I’m not alone,” Jasmine said, her eyes darting past me and landing on something behind. “I have Casja and Brigid. And I have the monster folk.”
“If we manage to get back Fiona’s crown,” I said. “You and the monster folk can find a place to call home on our lands.”

“We will see,” she said. “Go now.”
I did not want to leave her, looking so sad and defeated.
“I’ll be fine,” she said. “I need you to go and save Fiona. I need to know that she is safe.”
“I’ll come back for you,” I said.
“I know you will,” she smiled.

“We will meet with them on the southern foothills of that mountain,” I said, stabbing the map with my finger. “Make sure they prepare for the journey.”
“The advance unit left two days ago to get them,” Muir replied, straightening over the table and meeting my gaze. “They arrived yesterday.

“You don’t let them call you Liberator either,” she said after pursing her lips tightly to make sure I knew exactly how she felt.
“Yeah,” I sighed. “You think I should?”
