Not only were the alicorns her close friends, but they were arguably

the most important creatures on the planet, thanks to the Timeline to

Extinction. And Sophie had promised the Council she’d make sure

that both of the incredibly rare creatures were safe and that Silveny’s

pregnancy was going okay.

But with everything that had happened, she’d . . . forgotten.

And even before that, Silveny had gotten way more difficult to track

down. Half the time, Sophie had been pretty sure the stubborn alicorn

was ignoring her. And the few times Silveny did respond, she spent

the whole conversation refusing to come for a visit.

For some reason, she seemed super paranoid about letting elvin

physicians check on her baby, and nothing Sophie could say would

change her mind. So maybe having Fitz reach out with her would

catch Silveny’s attention.

“I guess we could give it a try,” Sophie said—and before she’d even

finished the sentence, Fitz was propping himself up to face her.

She did the same, wincing as she waited for her head rush to pass.

“You okay?” Fitz asked.

“Yeah, just give me a second. The stupid sedative is still getting out

of my system.”

Three deep breaths got her pulse steady again, and she stretched,

feeling her spine pop in several places. She curled her legs to her side

and opened her eyes—to find Fitz staring at her with his eyebrows

practically launching off his forehead.

She glanced down, realizing how ridiculous her tunic must look

now that she wasn’t covered by blankets.

It was very red.

And very fitted.
