“And am I not the Queen’s Fool?” He found himself smiling and he took the risk, slipping the ring over his third finger. Nothing happened.
He held it out, letting the old silver warm in the sunlight.
“It only works in the moonlight.”
“How?”
“Like I said, it’s very old. It has it’s own tricks and traits, but needing charms isn’t one of them. Just ask and it will respond.” She stepped back. “You’ll be on your own in there. If you’re discovered, it’s likely she’ll take you down to the dungeons. ”
“I’m always on my own.” And had been for far too long.
She nodded and opened up the portal. “Be careful anyway. The queen should have toppled from power when Prince Kian married the MacElvy witch, but she’s still alive—and still on the throne. The prophecy isn’t done. It will use any tool that comes to its hand.” She gave a small humorless laugh that raised the hairs on the back of his neck. “And a man with as few ties as you have will be fodder for the fates.”
The portal closed, leaving nothing but a circle of flattened grass and the weight of the ring on his finger. He could still walk away. He had enough power to be the equal of most elvatians. He could disappear, maybe go to Earth and open a shop. Or become a prosperous farmer in the land of Idt.
All the years of being under someone else’s control flashed through his memory, like a film reel he’d seen the last time he’d gone to the human world.
No. He shook his head and opened his own portal. He’d never be under someone’s thumb again. He’d stay in this world. His world. He had to. He owed a debt. More than a debt. He’d left a piece of his heart frozen in the Winter Court. This job would see that he had the powers of an elvatian lord. And he’d be able to take on anyone, be it the Black Queen...or the White.
