章 273: Dance in the Mountains

{ Music Recommendation: Bird by Billie Marten }

Evanna's smile was brighter than any star tonight. Her emerald green eyes were alight, sparkling as the fresh air of the mountains caressed her skin, blowing strands of her hair away from her face. The navy gown blended with the night sky as they rose higher from the palace, lifting away as though Arawn had wings. The mountains rose to meet them, higher and higher. 

Evanna's gaze flicked to Arawn's, then down to their feet. They were... They were now walking along the air. Below them, the enchanting palace glittered along the mountainside, and the valley and river looked tiny. But Arawn started leading them lower. Each step descended as they walked away.
