Vanish

Dakshana took a deep breath. It didn’t seem like much of a nightmare, but given how the magic in this place worked, it could easily become something deadly.

“Did your mother say what the eyes do?” Or who they belong to?

Minka shook her head. “No. She just said that I shouldn’t let them see me.”

“What happens if they do see you?”

“You vanish.”

Like Dakshana, Minka, and Srina had vanished into Chadstone’s ice-and-stone world. Dakshana squared her shoulders and lifted her chin.

“We’ll fight if they see us,” she said. She reached out. “Take my hand.”
