The Unfinished Song (Book 5): Wing (41 page)

“The first thing we have to do,” he said, “is
destroy these cocoons before the Bone Whistler sacrifices innocent
humans to bring these foul fae back to life…”

The six cocoons began to hum. They blushed with
light, soft and sweet at first, but growing sharper, brighter,
spicier until the air was so bright it burned their tongues. They
fell to the ground. The illumination subsided, but the cocoons
still glowed eerie colors. A scratching sounded from within.

Hands clawed at the webbing—from inside. Human forms
ripped and tore their way free of the cocoons. The liberated beings
were naked, three men and three women. Five of them uncurled wet
wings from their backs and flapped them until the wings were full
and dry. The sixth, the youngest, a girl with small pert breasts,
who looked no older than Dindi, peered at her own back and stomped
her foot.

“Back from the dead and still no wings?” she said,
full of exasperation. “It’s just not fair!”

Then she saw Dindi and Umbral and her jaw fell open.
“Who are
you
? Where’s Vessia? Where’s Xerpen?”

“Who are
we
? Who are
you
?” Dindi
retorted.

But she already knew.

Six Aelfae stood in a circle blinking at them.
