The Heir (18 page)

Luana’s pulse raced in her chest. She
thought of the scene she saw when she had touched Isla in her bed
chamber. “I did… I have…” She looked up into Baylin’s eyes. “When
Isla was preparing to return to Grasmere. She came to the chamber.
She mocked me and went to slap me but I caught her arm. When I did,
I saw something. Like being in a dream. I saw Isla with flames
behind her as a forest burned. Then I saw a hooded figure chanting
over a tattered old book. I saw a quick glimpse of your mother in
mourning clothes. Lastly, I saw Lord Cadman holding a crying baby…
our baby.”

Baylin sucked in a breath, hugging Luana in
his arms. He turned his gaze to the elf. “What is this?”

“It is her birth right,” Rydel explained.
“She has the ability of foresight. These gifts can, at times, feel
as though they are more of a curse than a blessing. Especially when
you do not have the knowledge to interpret them. However, I will
help you with this my dear Luana.”

“I still don’t understand,” Baylin said,
wrinkling his forehead. “How can something like this be? You speak
of powers and gifts. She was raised in Open Shaw. Her family has
lived in Grasmere for generations.”

Still clinging to Baylin, Luana looked up at
Rydel wearily. “You called me ‘daughter of the moon’ earlier.”

The Elf-King took in a deep breath, as
though he were anxious. “Yes, my child.”

“Why?” she questioned.

“Because that is what you are, Luana,” the
Elven King said, his expression soft and thoughtful. “You are a
daughter of the moon. You are my niece.”
