“My queen,” he said, bowing to me.

“I’m for bed,” I told him.

He nodded then escorted me to my chamber. “I’ll be here until dawn, Your Majesty. Someone else will come then.”

“Thank you,” I said then went inside.

Closing my eyes, I reached out to the other world. I tried to feel the fey there. Their magic was chaotic and foreign to me, but I could sense their presence.

“Many thanks, Great Lady,” I whispered.

What the dark fey wanted from me, I had no idea. Perhaps it was just as Sid said. One day, I would join the Wyrds.

One day.

Maybe.

If I ever had the heart to forgive Andraste.
