"You came," Dillon said with surprise.
Drake looked at his drawn and worried face.
"Of course I came. I can't leave you alone when you are in trouble. Can I?" Drake said and offered his palm for Dillon to take.
Dillon took the offered hand and got himself up from the ground.
"It took more than a quarter of the summer fae with it," Dillon said, regarding the fog.
Dillon is thinking that everyone in those villages is dead. He just assumed the fog is killing them. He didn't have time to stop and check their pulses. He was more worried about protecting them, rather than checking their pulses.
"It didn't. They are all still alive. Just sick because of whatever was there in that vile. We need to find a cure to make them better" Drake assured Dillon.
When Dillon heard those words, he became hopeful.
"You checked their pulses?" Dillon asked.
The fae and the humans almost have the same internal body functioning. They adapted differently t
"Don't tell me it's one of Koni's works" Dhari muttered.Mason snorted."It is" he confirmed.Dhari shook his head with disapproval."He is becoming too bold and ruthless these days," Dhari said mostly to himself.Mason and Dale looked at Dhari skeptically."Do you know anything about this red fog thing?" Mason asked.Dhari nodded his head."I know. But there would be different blends in this drug. The main drug used in these blends is the same. But the assisting drugs that are used with the main drug, would increase the potency and severity of the infection. By your words, I understood that the drug spread wildly through the wind. That means, it looks more potent. But I need to check the liquid or at least the vile that stored the liquid to suggest the antidote" Dhari said.Mason hesitated to give the broken pieces of the vile, that Drake collected to Dhari."This seems to affect all the Fae. This might affect you as well.
Drake and Dillon were slowly walking back towards the palace, searching for anyone who must have been lucky enough to escape the fog. But till now, they found no one."I don't think there is anyone who is lucky enough to escape" Dillon mumbled, examining a Fae man, who is lying with his face facing up and eyes wide open.Drake snorted."I am walking with the lucky one who managed to escape the fog," he said indicating Dillon.Dillon smiled at his words, despite the situation."What kind of disease is this? Have you seen anything like this ever before?" Drake asked Dillon.Dillon shook his head.He never saw anything like this before. It's different and new."No, I never saw something like this before. It's new and confusing" Dillon murmured.Drake and Dillon simultaneously noticed everyone opening their eyes slowly."They are waking up," Drake said loudly."Yes, they are opening their eyes" Dillon agreed.
Dillon looked like he wanted to cry any moment now."I don't want to become their snack," Dillon said in horror."What are these things?" Dillon's father asked in confusion."Dillon, create an illusion of a wall around us," Drake said hurriedly.It's chaos with everyone talking at once, and the noise of the victims coming for them.No one has time to answer the others. So Drake said one thing that would save them all.Dillon did exactly as Drake asked him to do.He erected a wall all around them.Now they stand in between an illusion of four walls, and the confused victims surrounding them from all sides.They can look past the illusion. But the victims cannot. They can feel the victim's angry breath on their faces.Drake looked at Cedric."Do you know how to shift?" he asked him.Cedric shook his head."No, it is an ability which would be granted only as long I am the summer king and wear that crown. It n
Drake looked at hundred of his winter warriors with pride."I know I could count on you. We need to save the summer realm. I need you to cover your body from head to toe in your armor. Don't get bitten by the victims. That would make you permanently into a mind-dead being. I want all of you safe. Protect yourself and protect the summer fae. Step aside, if some any one of you have the ability to illusion" Drake said.Immediately, 12 guards stepped aside from the formation.Drake nodded."Good, create an illusion of a wall around the villages that are not affected. The illusion seems to work on the" Drake instructed the 12."Yes, your highness" they understand what Drake is trying to tell them."Now step aside, if anyone if you can shift," Drake said.Immediately 9 guards stepped aside."Good, if you find that anyone is being surrounded by the victims, let it be your fellow winter warrior or most importantly, the innocent summer fae. Shi
'What do you want from me princess' the core, which looked like ice blue colored fire, asked her.Nyra is thrilled when the core started talking to her. But curing this guy is important to save a realm. So kept her excitement under wraps for then.'I want you to help me cure this man in front of me' Nyra asked the fairy fire.'With pleasure princess. But you would be exhausted after this. As this is your first attempt to cure someone else, your physical energy would drain, leaving you exhausted the fire warned Nyra.'I will be fine. The lives of so many people are on the line here. Please help me heal this man' Nyra asked the fairy fire.'As you wish princess. But warning you is my responsibility ' the fire said.'Thank you for that, but I need your help now' Nyra urged.'Ok, let's startUnknown to Nyra, as she was closing her eyes, her palms started to glow with ice blue colored fire. The fire started to travel towards Dhari and
Dhari shifted Drake and Mason onto the mountains, where the plant is usually found.They looked around their dark surroundings.Both Drake and Mason can see with their excellent eyesight. But Dhari has to work with his expertise.He visits these mountains often, so he knows where to find what."Now I understood why you need my help. It's dark and detecting that plant would be a challenge" Dhari understood.Drake and Mason can see better than Dhari, but it's dark and they can only see a little better than the others.They never saw the plant by themselves, so they would have struggled to identify it on their own. That's why Drake wanted Dhari's help. As he already saw the plant and has the experience of handling it several times, it would be easy for him and time-saving."Hmm" Drake agreed to Dhari's assessment.He then started searching for the plant, by touching other big trees. As it is a creeper, it generally snakes itself and suppo
They sprinkled the water in every village that was affected and then into the villages where the victims invaded and tried to bite the healthy individuals.The process lasted till the afternoon of the following day, leaving everyone exhausted. Soon after the cure was sprinkled, the victims fell unconscious and the visible reduction and disappearance of red spots can be seen.They woke up 2 hours later, without knowing what happened last night. Only the people of the first village, where everything started know exactly what happened.They started speaking among themselves and soon everyone came to know what happened.The people from the healthy villages, who saw the victims trying to kill them, spread the news of what happened after they became the victims of the fog and how the winter warriors and their king helped the summer king to protect the healthy individuals and save the infected villagers spread like wildfire.After helping the villa
Nyra was pacing the courtyard anxiously for Drake.When he finally returned, she became relieved."Oh my God Drake" she rushed to check if he is alright.Drake gave her a tired smile."I am fine. How are you?" he asked her, indicating that she fainted last night."I am fine. But I was worried about you" she confessed.Drake smiled softly at her."I am fine. You can relax now" he assured her.Nyra nodded her head with relief.Drake turned towards the winter warriors, who helped to get the summer Fae back to health from the effects of that fog."I am glad every one of you returned back without being injured. You should eat and you should relax now. You did well last night warriors. I am really proud of you" Drake praised his warriors.They all applauded loudly."Long live our king, Drake""Long live our king"They praised Drake.Soon they parted ways and Drake decided t
