Okay. Don't tell anyone I told you this.
I mean it. I've got a secret and I really shouldn't — but it's you, and it's been forever, and I'm going to combust if I sit on it one more day. So.
There's a prophecy. A real one. Old. Older than our records, which should be impossible. We flew out to this town to get it ''' full of Nightmare types, lovely people, mildly terrifying — and we handed over every defense we had to keep the place standing, and the sharp old woman who runs it looked at us for a long minute and then handed this over. And now I can't stop thinking about it.
It says something's going to fall. From the sky. From the heavens, if you want the dramatic phrasing, and obviously I want the dramatic phrasing.
So I keep asking myself — what the hell falls from the sky?
And don't. Don't say it. I know what you're thinking. She can't be an angel. Those aren't real.
I'm High Fae. I'd know if angels were real, wouldn't I?
...Wouldn't I?
No. Forget it. Moving on.
Because yeah. It's a her. A woman — obviously a woman, wouldn't be any fun otherwise — and I don't know her name, I've never seen her face, and I already know she's the reason. The whole reason. For me. For all of —
Hang on, there's a crow just sitting on the rail staring at me. Rude. Where was I?
The reason. For all of it.
And here's the thing I really shouldn't say. I'd already do anything for her. Anything. Haven't met her, don't care. And it's not just me — Declan's the same, and the other one, tall, scarred, perpetually disappointed in me, you know the one — Liam. Liam too. Three of us already gone over a woman who doesn't know we exist. There'll be more before this is done. I can feel it. I can't wait to tell them.
Because she's got something coming. Something she has to do, something the prophecy is very calm about and I am very much not. And whatever's out there waiting for her, it goes through us first. She survives it. That's not a hope. That's just true — I'll make sure of it.
So that's my secret.
You shouldn't know any of it.
You should absolutely come along for the ride.
I stand.
Grab my coat.
