Chapter 2

Home. Friends. Family.

As Lani walked through the door, a woman with brass colored hair was sitting in a chair and reading a book. The woman looked up pinning me with a harsh glare for interrupting her story. Mylani ignored the hostility by saying "hello. My name is Mylani!", in response she said "looking for Rhysand?" Mylani nodded, the woman turned back towards her book just pointing a finger towards the dining room. "Thanks…" Lani trailed off not knowing the woman's name, "Nesta." She gave a name, "Thank you! Nesta" Lani replied.

Mylani walked in the dining room steeling herself to welcome friends new and old. Seeing Azriel, Rhysand, Amren, Mor and two unknown females sitting at the table, Lani swiveled her head around to see Cassian coming up behind her with arms wide open. Lani tried to step out of the way but couldn't, instead she was crushed with a hug. Mylani pulled back and gave Cassian a smile, turning around to look at her brother. "So… Rhysand can I talk with you? In private?" She asked, "of course!" He answered looking somewhat concerned.

Rhys leaded Lani out to the balcony, sitting down in one of the chairs. Lani instead chose to sit on a stool and leaned forward, her hands on her knees. "I want you to tell me…" taking a deep breath, Lani continued "what happened after ." And tell her Rhys did. He told her everything, Amandra's death, Feyre's "visits" and finally King Hybernoen's defeat. The time took over an hour in all.

"How long?" Mylani asked after taking it all in. "Many Seasons" Rhysand replied finally looking up at her not even having to ask her to elaborate. Lani fell back in her seat with a deep sigh thinking over how much she missed. Looking up at the stars she stood up and made her way back to her room casting a smile towards the dining room where, although the food was eaten, everyone was still talking and laughing. Lani opened her door, changed into her pajamas and fell back onto her bed. Shutting her eyes she drifting off into sleep.

AN I'm so sorry that it is so short and took me such a long time to update. I am taking a summer course to move up next year and am expected to do four hours of math a day so it mostly take me a while to update. So long till next chapter!
