At last the landscape began to change – the trees became lusher, more beautiful; the animals of the wood began to stop and stare at us with preternatural intelligence. We were in fairy territory; Kian and I both felt the call of its magic in our blood as the cold, barren world of the pixie kingdom gave way to the rich red forests and beautiful arctic snowdrifts of the Autumn Lands, where Summer technically had power, but where plenty of Winter magic remained. “How long have I been gone,” I asked Kian as we rode through a forest of flame-colored trees. “How long have they thought me dead?” “Evenings and mornings have run together since I lost you, Breena,” Kian sighed. “But I'd guess it would be about seven days in your world – long enough for chaos to start.” “Then I need to get back right away,” I said. “I need to get to the Summer Kingdom, to make sure everyone knows I'm alive.” We passed the Autumn lands, so majestic in their fertile beauty, and began riding through more familiar territory.
