**Inferia—Eternal Eclipse**
EMBER's POV
As they barreled for the base of the mountain, an alien feeling grew and swelled in her stomach like tiny insects gathering for a feast.
It was a feeling of ease dare she say. Yet amidst that feeling, she couldn't help but think that maybe she was being too forward. She was certainly different from other women in that regard as no noblewoman will ever be heard expressing their feelings for a man as that would be scandalous in itself.
Yet between her and Khaos, this was the second time she was being so upfront with her feelings. The last time being when they were in a carriage to visit the mountains that later became Elara's memorial resting place.
Was she being far too frivolous? Were there rules to this? Truth be told, she was following her heart more than she was doing her head.
The hot night air of Ravaryn whipped against her face as Khaos carried her with relative ease at a dizzying speed, and before she knew it, he was dropping her.
