I’d been so distracted that I hadn’t even noticed the invisible glamour Finrod had cast over himself and his warriors.
Elvey and Finrod clasped forearms in greeting, and all the warriors behind their king bowed at Elvey. “Prince.”
“He’s king now, the dark Fae king,” Finrod laughed. “The guy got married. The three dragon kings are also married to the same beautiful woman, the queen to Sihde and Danaenyth of Dragon Realm and six human cities. I envy each one of them, yet Daisy won’t allow me to join her harem.”
I rolled my eyes, and Finrod nodded at my dragon consort kings, who returned the light Fae king’s greeting with friendly nods of acknowledgement.
“Your Majesties.” The elite light Fae guards bowed again to all of us.
Elvey had mentioned that court etiquettes for a light Fae was important. He hadn’t been exaggerating.
“Shall we go in?” I said, arching an eyebrow.
It was best we got in the temple and stabbed the black heart with my mates’ secret recipe before my evil aunt turned up to disrupt us.
A stench of the foulest magic wafted toward us. A plume of grimy smoke twirled in the air. Tianna materialized on top of the stairs with her elite sentries. Then, at the base of the stone staircase, the earth opened, and horned demons poured out like a large horde of locusts.
That was the portal to the demon realm.
The first wave of the demons rushed up the stairs toward us to fight for their demon king. The rest of the demon army turned and crashed onto the light Fae army approaching at lightning speed.
The cries of the battle horns pierced the air, echoing in the bleak plain and ruins.
Steel crossed each other and impaled flesh and bones without mercy.
Red and black blood spilled everywhere.
Arrows shot from the light Fae army into the sky toward a square of the flying demons.
The light Fae warriors had great prowess and skills, and the demons were well-trained and fearless. Some banners dropped, being trodden by the boots, as many Fae warriors fell. Then the ones after their fallen brethren picked up the banners, wielded their swords, and thrust into the enemies.
They stepped on the demonic corpses and met the next waves of assault.
It was the most brutal battle I’d ever seen, and the sky seemed tainted with red and black.
My blood sang with thrill. My heart pounded with battle frenzy.
I wondered how my dragon and human army fared on the other side of the battlefield, but there was no time for updates and worries.
“Tear them to pieces!” Tianna screamed, her face contorting in pure hatred and black rage.
My four mates had humiliated her as no other ever had. Together, they’d deceived the greatest deceiver.
Elvey sent his blue light into the darkness of the temple, and we bolted into the lair, my mates flanking me, two in front and two behind. I didn’t protest as I shielded us with my White Light.
The pungent odor of rotten flesh, rusty blood, and evil magic plumbed in the air. Rai and a few light Fae gagged. Rai had a more sensitive nose than his brothers.
Blaze cursed as he glanced at the blood-tainted walls around us. He moved closer to me, as if wanting to shield me from the sight. But I’d seen all the first time I’d been here.
“Evil pulses beneath,” Finrod said, cold rage in his righteous voice.
And again, my instinct roared at me to run from this place with my mates and never to return, but I ran headfirst with them into the depth of Tianna’s torture temple.
Three flying demons caught up with us, Tianna riding on top of the center one.
Blaze, Rai, and Iokul were about to shift to dragons.
“Let us handle them,” Finrod said. “You go do your thing and make it quick.”
