"Winston, dark magicians entered an ancient building in this forest. Why?" Rave uttered.
"Do you think that I'm blind that you describe them, lightheaded?"
"I've told you that the imps could not be here without magic."
"Shut up, ass! Let me think."
"For thinking, you need a brain, first! We must return and inform captain Black. The prince must be here by now."
"Let's get back." Turning back they roamed down the rocks and reached their horses, mounting up they galloped back for the wall and the station.
~
Wilmore and his men arrived at the station. His mind remained in Bolingtone with Luna. He left her in a bad condition. Anytime, he tried to calm himself again the thoughts raided his head and heart.
"Are you still thinking about her?" Natasha asked.
"Do I have any other worries?"
"I'm in the same situation, can't comment." Hux sighed.
She shrugged, "you failed his trust! I suggest you focus on the current problem." Her eyes were chasing Eliot.
She pointed at the lord and his old troop of knights. Rave's father was here too.
The gates of the storage ran wide and Captain Black came to welcome them.
"Your Grace, welcome!"
"I see that the cargoes arrived safely." They shook hands.
"Yes, I appreciate your favor."
Lord James also walked to Dorian, his arms ran wide and proudly hugged him.
"Greenwood proud of you."
"Velator does, we all owe you."
Wilmore corrected.
"I appreciate you all, but I wish I could hold a feast for you, and unfortunately I can't."
"It is fine, but tell me, how many men did you lose?"
"Since I met Ryan, it increased to twenty men. Female imps are pregnant now and the male ones hunt for them."
"Disgusting!" Karim growled.
"Yes, I hope Ryan..."
Before he could finish his statement, the gate grew wide and rows of people entered, and ahead of them were Winston and Rave.
"Gods! They returned."
Dorian knew what was behind that return. The King of Alovena had rejected them. Rave and Winstone also returned after two days of surveying in the forest.
They dismounted and the words quickly traded and traveled mouth to mouth. After they explained things everyone just wanted to hear something hopeful from Wilmore.
"What should we do now, your highness?"
Wilmore was sick of this, he knew that the mother of vampires would immediately gather many people around her, certainly, she had promised the king of Alovena so he wished that the king didn't turn to a vampire because of their blood, which was capable of it.
"We must do it at any cause, there is diverticulum. We can hit that road to reach where the fae said."
"If we had faeries help, we could reach there with a portal."
Nicolas nagged.
As he wished that a strong wind blew and supposed them to cover their eyes and guard, baring sword, guessing that a female imp was just too close.
Ryan grabbed his wife and Hashin protected the prince of Alovena. But all of a sudden, the wind ceased and they faced an army of faeries with their King ahead of them.
"King William!" Lord James uttered, his happiness couldn't come to words. He was sure that he joined them because of Elizabeth. Besides, him, Eliot was flourished too. Seeing the king of faeries after months was elegant.
The King bowed his head for the Lord, but his fierce golden eyes drifted on Wilmore, the glorious prince of Velator was exactly the same as the words he had heard. This man had Elizabeth's sister due to what Samuel brought them.
"You have faeries assist. But I doubt making portal can work."
Samuel answered the human beside the prince.
"I know you! Aren't you the merchant of Lucy Lake?"
"I am," he bowed his head for Wilmore.
The faeries approached and humans drew their swords down.
William stood in front of Wilmore, looking into his eyes directly, raising his eyebrow, "I see you have someone in you that was killed by my grandfather."
Wilmore smirked devilishly, he could hear the roars of his Lycan.
"And I see you have the rare flames of heaven, I am wondering how a demon earned that bliss."
William chuckled, "who says that! You? I'm a devil just like what you are."
"Gentlemen! Better to keep a bit of distance! You two caught my cousins, then! I hate you both and I truly want to kill you!"
Ryan came forward to separate them but menaced them instead. Eyes rolled on him.
"Ryan James!" The King and the prince both uttered his name at the same time.
Wilmore didn't know that the Lord had given Elizabeth to this man!
"Yes, I think compared to you I'm the youngest!"
"You have Bolingtone blood!"
The King of Abyss mentioned.
"I do, and I hate it." He answered while looking into Wilmore's eyes.
"What is going on here?" Rave growled at Winston, "if you are done greeting each other I must say that I found the dark magicians."
"We!" Winston corrected.
"You just moved your balls to guard me!"
Lord James sighed, pinching the space in the middle of his creased eyebrows.
"Did you bring some spoony big boys to help us!"
Tobias Gregory nagged.
"The king faeries is too young!" Butcher McCain blurted.
"Don't tell me that you carry a torch for a pretty man?"
"Shut up, Tobi!"
Miguel shot them glares, they would never grow up to change.
"Please, come inside, we must talk." Lord James wished, turning to one of the border guards said, "take the lady and prince Dedar to a proper residence to settle in. Men will stay in the station."
He walked to William and Wilmore then asked, "please solve your affairs later!"
He warned.
Striding inside, he neared William, "is she fine?"
"Yes, but prince Thinamen came to her with the Queen's letter."
The Lord's face ran cloudy, "what did she say?"
"Refused it, I proposed to her." Recalling how he did it, he suppressed his grin. He couldn't wait to end this and return to her.
The Lord nodded, now she had obtained safety.
"What about your father? They might menace him."
"They did, but let them do! I want to see how daring they are!"
The look in his eyes was serious enough for the Lord to grasp it.
Gathering around a table in the hall, the attention of the presenters fell on the map.
"The number of red flags had increased during our voyage," Wilmore stated.
"The beasts have been crossing the cracks and entered our territories."
Holcane notified.
"Is your shield weakened, I heard that nothing can overcome your magic."
Asked Nicolas.
"Dark magic could bring abnormality."
The human boy beside the king answered.
"Who are you?"
Winston asked but Frank coughed instead.
"Our little light magician who must help me, Frank Foley.." The King introduced.
