So this is my first fan fiction for this series, so please read and reviews. It starts after HoF and will probably ignore the events of the next book, where Aelin has rescued her cousin and Dorian, and then the three of them plus Choal have spent the last several months rebuilding her queendom. They got magic back. The managed to take back the main court and rebuild most of it, but they are still not free. This is just a normal day. With a normal war council. And I own nothing of the Throne of Glass series.

Aelin...

I was getting rather tired of the council meetings. We really honestly got nothing done. Most of our battles ended up being spur of the moment choices. I really didn't even know why we had to bother with it. Maybe it would have been more interesting if it wasn't just Aedion, Dorian, and Choal arguing with the counselors. Not that they were purposely ignoring me, but really, I'd much rather be out there, fighting with my people. so maybe I wasn't making the best effort to participate. I found myself staring out the window wondering where Rowan was. Last I had heard he had been trying to make his way over here, but that had been two months ago. A hawk landed on the window. Strange, I didn't know that there were hawks in this part. Suddenly, the doors burst open, and one of my Fae guards rushed in, looking sweaty and out of breath. Choal, Dorian, and Aedion eminently jumped up, hands ready to draw their swords.

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry to interrupt," the man wheezed, his face still red. "There was a Fae warrior who demanded to be let in, and when we refused, he vanished." I glanced back to the window, the hawk still there. Oh, we were going to have a word about this. I glared at him. He seemed to sigh, then flew into the room with a cry. He changed, then landed gracefully in the middle of the room. Rowan was back.

It took all my self control not to run up to him and hug him, while he stood in the middle of the room, looking incredibly smug. I resigned to trolling my eyes. Yep that would be Rowan. Everyone came out of their shock, and of course it just had to be Aedion who made the first move. He drew his sword and strode up to Rowan, the blade placed against his neck. "Who are you, and what makes you think you have any right to speak to my queen," he snarled. It was really kind of sweet how protective he was of me. Mostly.

Faster than a ray of sun, Rowan spun around, had Aedion on the floor, his own sword held at his throat. Choal and Dorian grabbed their swords, and looked like they were ready to murder Rowan. "I happen to be one of the greatest Fae warriors, and personal protector and trainer of my queen" he said with a lazy drawl. Aedion looked ready for murder. Ya that whole my queen probably hadn't gone over with Aedion. Now would probably be a good time to step in.

I stood up straighter. "Choal, Dorian, put away your swords. Rowan, give Aedion back his sword." I said. Nobody moved. "Now!" I snapped. Everyone put their swords back where they belonged. Aedion came back to stand with me.

"Who is he," he hissed, clearly very ticked off at having not only been held at his own sword point, but the fact that Rowan called me his queen.

"Um meet Rowan. Rowan, meet Choal, Dorian and Aedion. Guys Rowan is my friend. I trust him with my life," I said.

"Are you sure we can trust him," Choal asked, coming to stand on her other side.

"Yes. He swore a blood oath to me," she said. Then looked over at Aedion, who was know positively glowing with rage. Oops, probably not the best time to have said that. Finally she went down to Rowan. She meant to shake is hand, but instead she hugged him.

"Gods I missed you so much," she said into his chest.

"I know, Fireheart," he said, running a hand through her hair.

Dorian coughed. Aelin pulled away, but stayed standing by Rowan, while his hand rested on her lower back. The three guys were standing together, glaring at Rowan.

"So..." Dorian said, seeming to be the one who was the most calmed down.

"Right," she said. "You, go back to your post, thank you," she said, gesturing to the guard before calling over a servant. "You, go prepare a room for him, in one of the guest rooms in my wing." She turned to the guys. "This meeting is adjourned for now. I'm going to show Rowan around." They looked like they were going to argue, but she grabbed his arm and dragged him out of the room, much to the annoyance of the other guys, and the amusement of Rowan.

Aedion...

I hated Rowan. I hated the way he smirked at us. I hated the way he pretended he was so much better than us. And I absolutely hated the he hugged her, held her, pretended she was his. She was not. I stalked back to my room, Dorian and Chaol followed me.

"Who does he think he is. And what did he mean "my queen" he has no right to call her that. And did you see how he held her!?" Choal said, his fists clenching, his voice filled with the same anger that filled me. We all filed into my room, where we sat in chairs.

"What bothered me was the fact that she just instantly gave him a in this wing. This wing is for the royals, and their families. You two get to stay here, because you're so close to her, but he could have known her what, all of three months?" I said, still fuming.

"Really...I was really bothered by the fact that she just went up to him and hugged him. The Aelin actually went up to someone and hugged him. She smiled at me when she got back, but I certainly didn't get a hug, and I'm pretty sure you two didn't either." Choal said, seeming to have finally calmed down.

"I'm surprised that that is what you guys are focusing on. You do realize we have no idea who he is right. For all we know he could be one of Maeve's spies. We need to learn more about him." Dorian said, standing up and heading towards the door. The other two followed suit, heading down the darkened hallway.

Okay so that's all for now. Thanks for reading, and please review. Also since I am in school, three reviews for the next chapter please. Or more. Thanks. :)
