Everything her family had ever hoped for was in her hand, but Jenni had learned so much since she was a child, mostly in the last few weeks. Being halfling wasn’t as important as being alive and happy with your life—your magic, your future.

She took Aric’s hand, gazed into his dear face. “I’ll wed with you.”

He closed his eyes, sighed out a breath that sounded like wind whispering in pines. “Thank you.” Opening his eyes, he kissed her hand. “Thank you.”

“And you will work with Eight Corp on the meld project?” asked Cloudsylph.

“Yes. But I’ll work with my game, also, and practice my Mistweaver magical craft.”

“Good, we need you,” Blackstone Emberdrake said.

He was right, and she knew it. She’d remain a halfling, and be proud of herself and her talent that no one in the world could match.

The magical community, the Lightfolk royals, needed her as she was.

She had changed. She was Jindesfarne Mistweaver Emberdrake, and she would shape the future of Lightfolk and halfling and magic.
