I was stronger in physical combat than in magic casting, but Elias with Eli made him a double threat, and Ryder’s dark flames were a rare trait few demon shifters possessed.
I didn’t even know if Mako’s demon, Rose, could call upon those demonic flames.
“Mew Mew.”
I smiled as my hand unconsciously petted the familiar.
“You want to go check on our Princess?” I asked softly.
“Mew!” she replied; her tails unlatched from my neck to wave frantically side to side.
I chuckled quietly at her excitement. She was probably worried sick.
“Okay, let’s go,” I whispered as I pulled my shirt on; Nighty jumped down to the floor, waiting for me to finish before she climbed up and back onto my shoulder.
I tiptoed out of the room before closing the door gently.
It didn’t take me long to reach the medical center. It was on the other side of the gigantic castle the King and Queen resided in. I pressed my hand against the transparent door; the magic circle lit up before sliding open, allowing me entry.
Once closed, I made my way to the side of the bed, the chair neatly placed along the wall. I knew Karen was probably awake, watching Mako’s vitals through her device in her office. She had probably forced Kai to go rest up, by reassuring the phoenix shifter she’d awaken him if necessary.
Kai was just as stubborn as Ryder, both of them willing to push themselves till their bodies begged for rest. The number of times we scolded them during our younger training days was ridiculous.
They simply went on the motto, ‘Sleep is for the weak’and kept striving forward to excel in their skills and abilities.
I pulled up the chair, placing it next to the bed. I allowed my body to relax as Nightmare jumped off my shoulder and onto the bed. She made her way to Mako’s neck, cuddling against Mako as her tails lay softly against Mako’s chest. Her grey markings soared to life; the soft, yellow glow made another appearance as she purred quietly.
I smiled; my hand reached out to cradle hers. I noticed her hand felt slightly warmer than the last time I held her.
Was she healing?
“Mako, Firefly? Won’t you open your eyes? I miss you,” I confessed, allowing myself to lean over and kiss her gently on the lips. I wished she could hear me or feel my acts of affection.
My heart begged for her lively conversations and humorous remarks.
“Keep fighting sweet Firefly. We have to venture to Realm Six for your gift, remember?” I whispered in her ear.
I knew she wouldn’t reply, but I hoped my message went through to her. I prayed she wouldn’t give up.
All hell would break loose if she didn’t overcome this ordeal, starting with my rampage. I knew what my dragon was capable of...but I was less afraid of his outbreak.
Ryder on the other hand...or even Elias. No, Daniel was the worst out of all of us. Nothing would end well if he allowed himself to let loose. We knew what he could do, but it took a great deal to push him to the edge and no one wanted him to reach there. His actions could very easily affect ours and that was something no one – not even the gods themselves – would want to happen.
I grasped her hand tightly and decided to stay with her until one of the others came to take over. I felt less restless when
I knew one of us was with her.
She needed as much moral support as possible to win whatever battle she faced within.
I’d do anything to assist her in becoming victorious.
