We are forever careful in this realm as not to give anything away, if these beings start to make an appearance to the humans, we will all be doomed. “We need to find them quickly,” I whisper as I follow the others as they continue to scout the trees. Looking around at our group I analyse the men, each one powerful in his own right. The guard to the Royal family is chosen for their strength, their morals and their tenacity for good.
“Here!” Darius calls from the far-left side, “Magic has been practiced in this spot,” he explains which has Dream and I hurrying to the spot to see if we can identify the magic and who did it. Magic leaves behind a trail nearly like tracks that can tell us if its good or evil, old or new magic, what being it belongs to as each faction does magic in a different way, and the power of that magic has different vibration that can lead us to who the being is.
As I approach Darius I can immediately feel the evil that radiates in this spot, the air is heavy with its raw dark power. It’s clear that whoever was casting is practicing old magic, the power is evident that it is a very powerful being that is doing this, butunlike most magic this one is difficult to decipher which being is doing it as there is different vibrations interlinked in this place.
“How is it possible?” Dream murmurs as she leans down to place her hand on the ground.
“What is it?” Drez asks.
“I can’t tell what is doing this, it feels like different factions,” I nod at her reply.
“It’s old magic, evil and strong but as Dream says it feels like more than one being doing it,” I explain.
“You think it’s more than one doing it?” Brok our only resident Griffin, his sight is sharp like the eagle he possesses, his strength is phenomenal like the lion that he is. I have only seen him in his raw state once before, a sight that holds your attention with its majestic strength. Brok is a force to be reckoned with when he is crossed, and I am incredibly pleased that he’s on our side.
“I can’t tell, what about you Hope?” Dream asks.
“It’s hard to tell as I only feel one source of magic, it could be more than one, but I think its only one being masking his magic with a trick of various beings’ vibration,” I respond.
“Is that possible?” Drez asks as he pulls Dream back against him.
“I don’t know,” I say honestly. I never thought about it, but I’m sure that it could be possible.
“We have a problem,” Doil calls from where he is scouting a few steps ahead of everyone, “The tracks just disappear,” I hear Trek grunt from behind me, he steps around me to make his way ahead looking for any sign that might indicate where they went.
“Nothing?” I ask a few minutes later when he walks back to us with a scowl.
“They just disappear,” he replies inclining his head back towards where he came from, “It seems like a portal was opened over there where they vanished.”
“Oh no,” Dream cries, “do you think they went back to Eternity Fae?”
“That’s what I think,” Trek says with a shrug.
“How are we supposed to follow them into Eternity Fae if the portals are closed to us?” Doil asks.
“I can take us back,” Dream pipes up, “well, that is if my room is still intact.”
“Yes, that’s perfect,” I reply.
“What does she mean ‘she can take us back’?” Darius asks, “I thought the gates were closed.”
“You will see, let’s get back to the mansion and see if your room is still intact.” Drez answers as he takes Dream’s hand to start guiding her back home. I didn’t think I would be going back to Eternity Fae so soon, but if this is what is needed to get Love back, then I will be the first one to go.
TREK 6
I don’t like the idea of going back to Eternity Fae with Hope and Dream when we don’t know how it is there. The danger that we faced when we left was surmountable to anything that any of us has encountered before, not to know who we are fighting is the problem because we can’t identify their weaknesses.
I also don’t like the idea of going through Dream’s painting, I know that she has done it before, but there is a lot that could go wrong. Unfortunately, we don’t have another plan and to save Love we will need to do it. I follow the others to the still smoking mansion, making sure to stay close to Hope in case there is a surprise attack.
The men take point, making sure to leave the women between us as they enter the mansion, navigating burnt beams and door frames, broken walls and furniture, stepping over hazardous steps until they are entering Dream’s room. The smoke is light in here and only a few items have been scorched, the rest is still standing. The walls are darkened by soot and the painting on the far wall has also been affected.
“We need to clean the soot off, Hope can you do anything?” Dream asks as she glances at her sister.
“Maybe with a broom,” Hope mutters as she looks at the wall.
“How about we use the bed quilt to rub the soot off,” Eaton asks from where he is standing next to the bed. Eaton is a Werewolf like me and my eyes and ears where the Guards are involved.
“No, that will just smudge it,” Dream replies.
