Warning – THIS IS NOT REAL! IT DOES NOT HAPPEN IN THE BOOK! This is all my own work, the only things I haven't invented are the characters (save for Maeve).

Part 1 - Niyx
"Da!" 4 year old Niyx shouted happily. As soon as Niyx's father entered the house, Niyx threw his small arms around his father's waist. His father laughed and bent down to look at his son.
"Niyx, I'm so sorry for being away for so long. I hope you'll forgive me. I've brought you someone to meet", he said as he lowered his arms slightly so Niyx could see what he was carrying. Niyx gasped, for he saw a small child looking back at him with a small smile on its face. Niyx gave the small child his hand. The small child clung to one of his fingers with its whole hand. "Niyx, meet your little sister, Maeve."
Years later
"Maeve, please calm down. I need to pack the picnic for your brother", ma scolded Maeve. I decided to take her off ma's hands.
"Maeve, do you want to go with me to get Aven?" she smiled and nodded. We walked through the forest to the castle where my best friend Aven lived. He might've been a prince but he loved to hang out with us, especially with Maeve. Maeve really enjoyed his company too. Whenever he came over Maeve would always drop what she had in her hands and run to him. He would always lifted her into the air with squeals of delight. She had always thought of Aven as another brother.
We arrived at the castle to find Aven waiting with a backpack on his back. He beamed as Maeve ran over to him and flung her arms around his neck.
"Happy birthday mate! Maeve, please don't squeeze so hard. I can't breathe!" I laughed as Maeve gave me a wink and squeezed a little harder. Aven pried her arms off his neck and laughed with us. "Let's go! I'm starving! I didn't eat much this morning so I could save room for your homemade berry pie. Soo heavenly!" he sighed. The three of us made our way back to my house. Aven and I were chatting when Maeve interrupted us.
"Guys! Why can't one of you activate the valispath?" she groused. I sighed and ran up behind her. She squealed when I lifted her into the air and then onto my shoulders.
"Maeve, you know we haven't learnt how to activate the path yet. And I promised to take you for a ride when I finally learn". She pouted and crossed her arms. Aven laughed and I joined in. Soon we were all laughing until our sides ached. Maeve had started to get heavy so I put her back on the ground.
"I bet I can get home first! Race you!" Maeve screamed. Aven and I looked at each other and ran after her. She would always be the light of my life. Forever. That would be a promise I could keep I thought as I laughed as I tried to catch up to her.
I promise.
