Crysanthi The screaming started just before the incredibly loud explosion, and I knew that something was wrong. I portalled myself back to the fountain to find pure and utter chaos. People were trying to run away, screaming from pure fear as freaks and rogues attacked from all angles. The fountain had become chunks of cement that were laying scattered on the ground, and I knew that it had been blown up. We were being attacked by the dark forces and innocent civilians were wounded and dying all around me. I immediately jumped into action, using the power of the earth to summon vines and tree branches to pull freaks and rogues off of civilians. I saw Fioré fighting off three rogue wolves, but I didn't see Ember anywhere. I knew the moment Azak portalled in behind me as I watched a group of freaks that had been going after the family we had passed earlier get surrounded by flames. Unfortunately there were just so many of them that I wasn't sure we would be able to hold them off for lon

Crysanthi The last thing I remember was being tangled in those thorny vines and hearing Genevieve's voice as Lila sneered at us. Luckily I woke up in the bed that Azak and I shared with his orange eyes staring down at me as he smiled. I knew that we had survived, that Genevieve had somehow managed to save us from Lila's murderous plans. "Lila? Did Genevieve win?" I asked him afraid of his answer, though I doubted he would be smiling had Genevieve lost to Lila, seeing as how that would send Rayan on a rampage. "She ran off, Rayan and the Betas chased her but she got away. Ronan and the Gamma boy tracked her to a hide out though, so we have wolf, fae and dragon scouts keeping track of her movements. She won't get a chance to attack us again." He smiled a mischievous smile that told me that he was already formulating a plan to take her down. "How are you feeling my light? Genevieve and the Gamma girl did all they could to speed your healing up, has it helped?" He then asked with a

Crysanthi We arrived at my parent's castle one week before the coronation was to take place. I was in awe of the gorgeous, towering, stone building as we circled around it, just above the mote that encircled it. The dragons had offered to fly us and the staff we would be bringing with us in, and flying through the air was unlike anything I'd ever experienced before. The earth fae had built us carriages to hold people and supplies in record time after the decision was made. It was a truly remarkable experience and if I didn't feel like a Queen before, I certainly felt like one now. When we finally landed in the large stone drive, just past the cobblestone bridge, I was amazed by the size of the castle. I had heard a great many stories of it from my father, but this was the first time I had ever been here since he had portalled me out as an infant. The place was perfectly groomed and awaiting our arrival, with the gardens in full bloom for the spring season. I could tell that the nea

Crysanthi When I woke the morning after being marked I wished I could lay in bed next to my light all day, but I knew better. I jumped out of bed quickly and I could not only see the panic in Azak's eyes, but I could feel it through our bond. "It's jump day. I need to eat, then be taken and locked up in the dungeons. A magic proof cell, just incase. Last night was amazing, my love, but now I need to prepare to jump. When I get back we will celebrate and enjoy our marking." I told him smiling as I threw on clothes that I wouldn't mind if the evil bitch version of me destroyed them. I had barely gotten down to the cells after breakfast when I felt myself being pulled into the time, space and dimensions continuum. When I finally landed and opened my eyes, I was surprised to find myself in the exact same cell I had just passed out in. "Which dimension are you from?" Azak's smooth, yet sultry voice rang through the dungeon. "Oh, I'm from dimension 6. This is dimension 4? Thank the

Crysanthi When I jumped back into my body it was late at night and Azak was smiling at me from outside the cell door. I smiled back at him, but my smile immediately faltered when I realized that I smelled like piss. Apparently the version of me that had jumped into my body thought it would be funny to piss herself instead of using the toilet and sink combo that was in the cell for that specific reason. "It was a freak Timekeeper Queen from dimension 5. She thought it would be hilarious to make me watch you piss yourself, and I ofcourse wasn't dumb enough to open the cell to stop her or try to change your clothes my light." Azak spoke softly when he saw that I had noticed my appearance. All I could do was nod my head at his words as I stood up to be let out of the cell. He obliged and unlocked the door for me. I didn't speak a word as I walked up both sets of stairs to our suite to shower. I knew I shouldn't be embarrassed, as it was not me who committed such an embarrassing act, b
