A few arrows pierced through Blaze’s scales. I swallowed hard. Rage burned within me as pain shot through our mating bond, but an instant later the bond shut down. My mates wouldn’t want me to experience any pain.
The shield Elvey and I conjured still held Tianna’s smoke and purple light at bay, so at least she couldn’t massacre our warriors. However, we wouldn’t last long. Tianna was growing more powerful while we were being drained of our magic.
Iokul’s ice magic also shielded us all. Rosalinda and Zembyr fought side by side. Our royal guards formed a ring around me, while the rest of the warriors regrouped and formed a defensive line.
They slashed and hacked at enemy soldiers, endeavoring to cut a way out. But the enemies were too many. They kept coming, fearing no death or pain. I knew that the majority of them had been under Tianna’s spell for too long, and her spell was much more powerful than Lysandra’s. There was nothing I could do to free their minds at the moment. I had to fend off Tianna, and I was losing.
My guards started falling all around me under the savage assault.
We couldn’t keep at it like this.
“Elvey!” I called.
If we couldn’t break through the siege soon, we’d all be slain. We all needed to get out of here, go to the temple, and cut the black heart to pieces with the power of five.
Shouts broke out at the far north side of the enemies’ line. The other half of our small army had come along with the Fae newly added to my court. But our numbers were still pitiful compared to Tianna’s army.
Rosalinda had gone to summon our main army, but it would be a while before they crossed into the Fae realm.
A beast howled in the distance. Henry was approaching!
Fear for him surged in me.
Withdraw, Henry!I called.And wait for—
I’m not alone, Fury Queen.Henry flashed a picture in my head. He was leading an army of beasts—my former monster subjects from Pandemonium’s jungle—and charging toward the red army.
My monsters roared their bloodthirsty battle bellows.
How had they even gotten here? They were light years away.
Elvey sent me a sly smirk, beads of sweat coating his forehead as we both struggled to hold back Tianna’s power that was boosted by thousands of souls.
“How?” I asked Elvey through labored breaths.
“I brought them with me when I left Pandemonium through the portal. I hid them in Sihde. I’ve been preparing for this battle every second, my love.”
“And you didn’t find it in your conscience to let me in a little?” I asked in exasperation.
I’d have a word with him after this was over.
“I like surprising you, Daisy darling,” he said.
He’d constantly done just that.
“You’re a drama king, you know?” I said.
All of my mates were drama kings, but I loved them wholeheartedly. In fact, I was certain their dramatic behavior was what made me love them more every day.
I tossed a dagger at a dark Fae soldier, who tried to stab Zembyr in the side while he was busy fighting two others.
I kept sending waves of White Light against Tianna’s purple one.
Her dark magic pushed back. The thick smoke leeched to Elvey’s blue light, trying to tear it open. I gritted my teeth from exertion.
“Just a little longer, beloved,” Elvey said, his face pale with effort.
Our monster army crashed into our foes. Curses, shouts, and screams of pain broke out from the red army, and the battle pressure against our side relieved a notch.
