Keltania
Magic is a funny thing. It can be infinitely powerful yet, at the same time,
as fragile as the most delicate bloom. All it takes to lose it is a single
sacrifice.

Or a single mistake.
I breathe in deep and do my best to block the chatter from the small
crowd gathered across the field. There’s excitement in the air, and even the
trees seem eager for the ceremony to commence. Every few moments,
showers of red and gold leaves flutter down, coating the ground for several
seconds before dissolving back into the earth.
“Are you ready for this?” my cousin, Alainya, whispers. She’s a bundle
of nerves and excitement, fidgeting nonstop, more like a toddler than an
eighteen-year-old. “Because I’m not sure if I am.”
“You are,” I promise, then grab her hand and give it a firm squeeze—to
comfort her, but also to get her to stand still. The constant movement is
making me twitchy.

I understand her enthusiasm. I’m excited, too. I’m just better at
containing myself.
We’re barefoot, wrapped in simple white shifts made of silk. Our limbs
are adorned with flowers, and vines wind between our fingers, up and
around our arms. The elders say the vines signify our connection with the
land. To me, the vines represent our bond with the Winter Fae. Our histories
are interwoven, our fates connected with loyalty and love. We’re one.
Partners, allies—friends.

We owe them everything. They ensured our survival in the days before—
and during—the war. When the rest of the humans fell, the Winter Fae used
their magic to make sure the druids had enough food and protection, that
our shelters withstood the elemental forces from the other Fae courts.
After the war, after the Great Drain, we began repaying their kindness.
Now, some of us stand at their side as guards, protecting them from harm
with what little magic we retain.

Alainya turns around again. This time, there’s mischief in her eyes.
“What kind of gifts do you suppose they’ll greet us with?”
I roll my eyes. “Shh!”

“I’m hoping for one of those rings I’ve heard so much about. You know,
the ones that allow you to change your appearance?” She shimmies her
hips. “I bet I’d look fantastic as a redhead!”
Levina, our high priestess, steps to the front of the crowd. She pins
Alainya and me with a stern glare, then begins. “Thousands of years ago,
Servis, the lord of the Winter Court, fell in love with our high priestess,
Aphelian. When war broke out among the courts and the druids were in
danger, the Winter Fae protected them. The battle raged for a decade, each
court leaving behind charred forests and lands drenched in innocent blood.
In the dawn of the eleventh year, the Great Drain started—the depletion of
Fae magic.”
