"I love being tied up," I say full of enthusiasm. "Tying up is fun."
"Crispin, please?" Storm asks, holding my wrists as I try to get close to him again.
The healer chuckles and appears at my other side, distracting me from trying to open Storm's jeans. He puts a hand on my forehead, so soft, so cool.
"Sleep, Wyn," he whispers and a warm hug surrounds me, helping me drift off away from my rainbow thoughts.
Chapter Seven
Embarrassment floods my mind. Then, words.
"Spring is taken. Summer will be betrayed. Where is Autumn? Find Autumn or Winter will thaw. The balance must be maintained. Darkness is coming, there's no escape."
I whisper the words before they flee my mind.
"What?" Crispin mutters sleepily into my ear. His head is snuggled against my shoulder, his breath hot against my cheek.
"Blaze said that when he was in his food coma."
My Guardian sits up, choking with laughter. "Is that what it was? He ate too much?"
I grin. "Yup. Too much magic. Although he said that he did it intentionally to get a vision. Apparently, unicorns can do that. He told me to keep a note of what he prophesied, but I think my mind went a little weird after that."
"You could say that," Crispin laughs. "You were rather cute."
I shove my elbow into his thigh and he laughs even more.
"It was even better than the first time he gave you sparklies. Priceless, really."
I tousle his hair with my magic and he yelps, slapping a hand on his head as if he's expecting there to be spiders.
I sit up as well, noticing that I'm still wearing the same dress I wore to travel to the Dragon Realm. Was that only this morning?
"What time is it?" I ask, even though I know that my magic could probably tell me.
"Three in the morning. We didn't know how long the unicorn effect would last, so I made you sleep a bit longer than probably necessary."
"Thanks." I smile at him.
"You're not mad?"
I cringe. "For not letting me behave like an idiot? No, better to knock me out. You've hereby got permission to do it again next time."
Crispin chuckles. "With pleasure. Although I hope you're not planning to expose yourself to sparklies again soon."
"Nope, definitely not. This was an emergency. And now that I can actually think, it was a good idea that Blaze did this. 'Spring is taken.' I think we should find out if anything has happened in the Spring Realm. Flora is still here in the Palace, right?"
He nods. "As far as I'm aware. I think I saw her in the Great Hall at dinner yesterday."
I sigh. I really want to stay in bed with Crispin, do some of the things I planned to do with the guys while I was drugged, but the weight of responsibility is making me get up.
"I better pay her a visit. Want to come?"
Crispin shakes his head. "I'll go and see if there are any new reports from the Spring Realm. Meet in your office?"
"Yes, let's hope this was either just unicorn nonsense, or hasn't happened yet."
I teleport away from my chambers and to the guest rooms. I'm not quite sure what rooms Flora has been assigned, so I appear at the main door leading to the guest wing. The two guards jump and shout, but immediately bow when they see me.
