Lyanna's POV
I was falling through darkness, screaming, waiting to hit ground that never came.
Strong arms caught me instead.
"I've got you." Cassian's voice. His heat surrounded me like a blanket. We landed hard but together, his body taking the shock while I stayed safe in his grip.
For one heartbeat, I let myself feel safe. Let myself remember what it was like when I thought he might actually care.
Then I remembered he was marrying someone else in four weeks and shoved him away.
"Where are we?" My voice echoed in the darkness.
"Deep beneath the tower." Cassian created a flame in his hand, lighting up our surroundings. We stood in a huge underground chamber carved from black stone. Strange symbols covered every surface, glowing slightly blue. "These are the Old Foundations. Built before the Five Kingdoms even existed."
