Dongmin had almost made it all the way back to the library when Sera grabbed his arm.
Dongmin frowned, annoyed -- and then saw that her gaze was blank, fixed on the mirror behind him, one of many that lined the fortress’s walls.
“Go with him,” she said. “When the time comes. Leave this place.”
She was talking to Dongmin, but she wasn’t here, wasn’t in this time. She was seeing something, a glimpse of the future.
Dongmin didn’t know what she meant, and he didn’t want to find out.
It wasn’t until several hours later, when he heard the excited chatter from some of the others, that he did find out.
“He’s so handsome,” Yura said, eyes bright, gaze very much present and focused on the now. “Think he’ll spend the night with one of us before he goes?”
“He still hasn’t woken up yet,” Hyerin scolded lightly, but she sounded just as curious and eager.
Dongmin wondered how handsome the man was, when he wasn’t frosted over. He continued scrubbing the empty ink wells in the copy room, determined to finish before supper.
But Yeoreum appeared at his elbow, as silent as a shadow, Bomi beside her.
“Librarian,” she said, “the Lion Herald wishes to see you.”

“He wants you to go with him.”
