Chapter 82

• We got into one of several royal carriages with snow-white and jet-black horses pulling them. I wanted the ride to the arena to be delayed some how. I had no idea how to use my Fae magic to do anything useful though I did feel different. Star didn’t know how to harness her magic either. The horses were unbelievably fast. They must have been enchanted somehow. We crossed the snowy, icy landscape easily. We arrived at the outskirts of the arena. I could see throngs of Fae and werewolves alike filing into the arena, chatting excitedly. I heard the deafening, high-pitched roar of the dragon.
• “You will be fine,” said Dad reassuringly to Star.
• Star was pale and tremulous. I would jump down onto the arena’s floor if I had to. I grasped her hand and we entered the arena.
