I stumbled forward in the thick darkness and tightened my hold on Nyx's hand. I heard a snap and torches lit the cave, leading a path downwards into further darkness. Small stones were scattered about and the rocky walls had carvings, writings and symbols on them. "Where are we?" I whispered, yet the cave carried my voice around in echoes. "Before we built, we lived in caves." She laughed and the orange hue of the torches danced in her silver eyes when I arched a questioning brow at her that said, 'Just how old are you'. "Not me Danae. By we, I meant the Fae and everyone else but first, the Fae." I released her hand and started to walk towards the carvings, tracing each drawing on the cold wall with my finger tips. There were writings under the carvings, similar to the forgotten language but this was more complex and I did not have all the time in the world to separate each character and put them back together again. So I looked at the carvings instead and found

"This is prepostorous!" The winged man said and spat at the floor beside him. "Fae can not lead us!"Voices rose from around the hall,arguing, but that's what they all were. Just voices. I was frozen momentarily, hearing my blood rush in my ears. There was a crown on my head and as feathery light as it was, I felt the weight of it on my shoulders. My head. My body. Everywhere. I couldn't. It was too much. I started to lose sense of where I was as the edges of my vision started to darken due to the loss of air. I didn't want it. I didn't want to. I gasped as I tried and failed to breathe. I had heard of such illnesses but it had never occurred to me that it could exist. I was panicking and I knew I was going to pass out if I didn't breathe soon. Something slammed into me and I cried out. My body felt like it was being crushed underneath boulders and at the same time, it felt like I was being stabbed. The hall left my view momentarily and in its place, I saw the earth. The lush greenn

Dameon Her golden curls bounced as she moved ahead stealthily. I had never been able to successfully find out where she went every time during noon. At first, I had thought it a routine of hers, perhaps, a walk, but one never hides to take a walk. Much less a queen that possessed as much power as she did. I had questioned a few on her whereabouts at this specific hour but none could give me an answer. Even I, her most trusted confidant, knew nothing about it. It had been weeks since I gained control of my body and I hadn't found anything with which I could save her with, from myself and Katherine . My patience was wearing thin, as were her chances of living. Which is why, I had to find out what new scheme Katherine was hatching. Cloaked in a concealment spell, I followed as quietly as I could, avoiding structures, lest I hit them and made a sound, and Katherine , she had sharp ears for a human. On the way, I passed by the chambers that the last of the

Lost in my train of thoughts as i walked past people, my shoulder bumped hard into someone and i winced as pain shot through my arm, as if it had disconnected from my shoulder. "Forgive me, my lady."The man said, when i paused to clutch my shoulder. I raised my head with a pained look and found twin violet eyes staring down at my shoulder with a frown. It was the violet-eyed male. "May i help--" I released my shoulder and waved off with a nervous laugh. "No no. It is alright. I can manage." His nicely curved lips came down with a frown. "Up close, you seem almost ordinary... No aura..." He mumbled and there was only so much i could hear. Not that i was even interested in hearing anything that had to do with me and ruling. I shook my head and turned forward to find an infirmary. but the man moved quickly and blocked my path. A few servants passed by and even if they kept their eyes glued to the floor, i was sure they were beginning to form ideas for go

The training hall was unlike any thing I'd seen before. I had expected something similar to the men's barracks at Avalor but as Lord Vas pushed the huge doors, I reeled back in the shock. It stood taller than any structure I had ever seen. Maybe even reaching the skies because they were all I could see through the ceilings that I refused to believe were made of clear glass. So clear, I could make out the outlines of each white cloud that stood in the sky peering down at us. That was not the strange part of it all. The training hall was... a huge... land... a... forest? Rather than solid walls, the glass roof was held to the ground with vibrant green vines that had pink lotuses sprouting from them, spiraling from the ground and pushing it to stay up there in the skies. The grand underneath my foot had grass that stuck smoothly to the floor like carpet. I pondered if it was fake for a bit before I spotted a man place his hand over a portion of wild grass and

"Again."My skin engulfed in flames as the crown was placed on my head again. I screamed out as I felt my body caving in on me, my bones crushing into a million pieces as I watched the land die. Ice so cold it burned my body. My insides were melting and freezing. I would choose death over this pain. I screamed as I felt something move from my belly and spread through my body. It was cold as it was painful. I felt it slip out my skin through my fingers and feet. Rather than relieve me of the pain, the movement intensified the pain I felt, making me scream and call out. Words made no sense to me. My surroundings had faded into pitch black with occasional visions from the crown coming to view. Reprieve came soon and I knew he was holding me, again. I didn't need to open my eyes or sniff anymore to know he was there. I just felt him like he was an attachment to me. Like he was my second skin. I clutched his sleeve tightly, afraid of letting go for I knew the moment I did, i

The pungent smell of Faerie fruit was enough to make me befuddled. I refused the sixth cup that was offered to me, knowing how good I was at holding my liquor. I sat beside Lord Vas and his family on the dias, sticking to the left side of him and being forced to watch how crude the Lesser Fae really were when Faerie fruit was involved. "I must thank thee, My Lord!"A drunk Sylph with wickedly handsome features grinned and bowed clumsily, nearly toppling over the two Nymphs that he held by their waists. The first with long green hair kissed his face and neck, occasionally pinching her nipples through the thin silver fabric she wore. The other fumbled with his jacket and let out a growl when she could not take it off. She looked down and giggled before grabbing his crotch. "Patience pet." The male growled before moving away with his drunken companions. It was not the first nor was it the worst i had seen that night. I avoided gazing at the left corner of t

Katherine I toyed with the dagger in my hands as we strode to the stables. The horses were unnecessary but it was one of those days. I wanted my slaves to look upon their Queen. My other purpose was strengthening the barrier again. If Leandros was who my grandmother made him out to be, it would be a smart enough move for him to try intrude my lands now. I could not have that yet. Especially not with the resent losses I incurred with the mission. I clenched the dagger tightly with simmering rage. "How many did we lose?"I asked again. "None came back alive, my Queen." Adrienne answered again for the fifth time. I clenched my jaw. "You have investigated like I told you to?" "Yes, my Queen. Our sources tell me it was the dragon. He burned them alive at once." I swiveled and glared at Adrienne. "Did they not tell us Neradia would be unguarded?! Did they not tell us the one with ichor in his veins would be away?!" I screamed. His eyes widened and he b
