    Summary

    Rey stood on the edge of the tree line, moonlit fields of barley and oats behind her, a safe sea of lapping waves that rustled with the evening breeze. Darkness and uncertainty loomed before her, the trees dense and overgrown after years of neglect. Farmers used to bring their hogs into the wood to forage. That was before the gods had woken to reclaim their wood when she was a babe.

     

    If someone were to witness her standing here, the punishment would be insurmountable, but Rey had no choice. Her entire being cried out for her soulmate and with everyone so neatly paired together, her pain was tenfold. Was she supposed to sit on her thumbs while her friends lived happy, complete lives? Rey couldn’t accept that. The risk was worth making a plea to the gods.

     

    Men could no longer help her. She silently hoped the gods would listen.

     

    With a steadying breath, she strode forward.
