Chapter 7 — Daylen
Rubble rolled off me. What the hell was that? Hera’s soldiers are getting stronger, this one chose the wrong challenge. She peered her head to see where my body landed in the building. Without drawing my wings, I shot into the air. Landing behind her, I grabbed her hand.
She growled. Her fist burned bright amber. I pulled back, the scent of burning flesh smacked my face. She thrust her legs forward. I hurled a ball of light that flew into a building. The two-storey apartment blew up, bricks and wood collapsed into the alley.
She turned around her brown eyes fixed on me before she slammed her wrists together. Another flamed arrowed shot at me. I raised my shield. The arrow cracked the centre of my protection. The collision sent my feet sliding in the gravel.
‘Stop! I haven’t done anything wrong.’
I stared at the building she hurled me through and cocked my head to the side. She bit her lip. I fisted the soil beneath me and pulled my

The one time I use my powers I land myself in shit. Thank goodness Daylen and Marcus didn’t rat me out. I didn’t come here to end up in jail the more time I wasted the more the more ground I lost on Rocky. I still couldn’t put my finger on why Daylen helped me he seemed intent of getting rid of me earlier. I hoped I wasn’t getting into something worse with these two.After the door slammed shut and a few more minutes of hiding I emerged from the room. Daylen slouched on a stool by the bar with a glass in his hand and Marcus seemed to be pondering something in the living room.Daylen looked like any washed up sailor after whatever confrontation he had. His pearly white suit was ripped and brown, yes that was my fault. He unbuttoned his shirt, revealing his defined caramel toned chest. He had the brightest shade of brown eyes I’d ever seen.He looked up when I fully set foot in the living room. His hair wasn’t as curly as

Thousands of creatures lived in the mage dimension, others more populous than the next. Artemis could be a rare creature from the sea. I wanted her out of my head.Her hair stuck in my mind like her baked blueberry scent. Her hair had tiny loose curls, it was so dark it almost looked blue. She held power I couldn’t let Hera possess. I couldn’t allow myself to get sloppy and let her fall into my bed either. Things got messy when sex coupled with obligation.Artemis needed to stay away from my head. I had a court meeting to attend and all my attention had to go to the situation at hand. I was either early or got the wrong date. No one was ever late for these things. Solaris would have their heads.I tucked my notepad under my arm and pushed the door in. No guards stood outside and no voices came from inside. Although, a single woman stood staring at the tallest throne on the wall.‘Only the strongest ever sat on that

‘Look at the time where is he?’ Stella tapped her foot.I groaned, ‘I have no idea.’‘We can’t keep waiting. It’s getting late.’Her foot tapping was playing on my nerves. We’d been waiting for Daylen to show up for hours. The sun was setting and not even a letter of explanation popped up.I shook my head and paced to the door. He played me. He promised he’d help me find my sister and he wasn’t anywhere to be found now. Something more flashy must have popped up and he decided I was as good as a carton of expired milk.‘We should just go. We’ve wasted enough time as it is.’‘Yes, first you need a disguise.’‘Why?’‘You’re not from here and you need to look like you fit in. We’re not chopping your hair, but it has to go in a braid. You need leather lots of it. If anyone asks

‘How much do you trust this guy Stella?’ Alfie asked the second we walked out of the bar.‘He’s insane!’ I stalked ahead of them.‘I was told he’s a very reliable source and it makes sense. Arti! You’re special, you’re not a mage, you’re goddess! It’s so cool.’I shook my head. It couldn’t be. I couldn’t be, what did that mean for Rocky?‘No, Stella it’s not. It’s confusing and we didn’t get anything on Rocky.’She scratched her head, ‘Right. We should go back.’‘No, it doesn’t feel safe. There are places I hear kidnapped victims are held. Not nice places of course.’ Alfie said.‘No, kidding, but that will take forever.’‘Have you tried a locator spell?’Stella and I exchanged glanced.‘Would it work?&rs

Who would have thought she was in the mage dimension? Of course it was the work of lovely queen Hera. It excited me to think how the mad queen would suffer when I overtook her. Because I now had what she needed to fuel her war! I’d work faster than she ever could.After I left Artemis and Stella I went straight to my castle in Hemingway. Very soon the dusty forsaken castle would be the most feared fortress in the mage world and Olympiad. I burst into the throne room I claimed months ago. It was also the military room.‘Your highness, Hera’s soldiers have been defeated in the Fae Kingdom. The dark Fae are still putting up a wall.’ Turner my general said.‘Bring them down they’re either with us or against us. They had their chance.’I reclined in my throne. I wanted my seat to be greater than my mother’s. She’d pay the most for everything. For my fall, for her sins as well as mine!‘Tu

The bar Stella worked at reminded me of the bar I worked at. At least I wouldn’t be heading back there when this was over. I couldn’t wait for then. To have Rocky back and never again see the darkness of the mage dimension skies. Every time I stared up at the sky that held the sun captive heaviness settled on my chest and I struggled to breath.Stella dried glasses, made cocktails and slid beers across the counter. I nursed the same glass of water until Alfie showed up.‘I thought I was late,’ He adjusted his glasses.He smiled at me. I smiled at the ground. As much as I was falling for him before Rocky was kidnapped there was someone else developing in the picture. I hated that he was in the picture.‘No, Stella's connection is a no show.’ I eyed her out of the corner of my eye.‘He’s coming, he’s just busy.’ She crossed her arms.‘Another elf?’ Alfie asked.

Solaris summoned me hours ago, I was with Artemis. Then I was left cleaning the mess left from Avon's goons. I had no intention of telling Solaris, I didn’t need her to fight my battles. Fighting my battles meant placing distance that was the hard part.We met at our usual spot, the deepest place in the castle. Forgotten chambers of a different time in the history of Paradis. Solaris waited by the sparking fireplace. I was late.‘Don’t linger Daylen.’ She said. ‘We have plenty to discuss.’I walked in, kicked the door shut. I sat and waited for her to grace her makeshift throne, but she never did.‘I called for you yesterday Daylen.’I clenched my jaw, ‘I was... tied up.’‘Too tied up for the Queen?’I stood, nothing would simmer the sun blazing inside her. I’d neglected her and I couldn’t cough up an explanation.‘Forgive me, what was so

After taking Artemis back to the mage dimension, making sure her friend was home and making sure she remained there. I returned to Paradis. I brushed sweat off my brow. Lesser members piled into the court, whispers and murmurs following them. Marcus closed the door behind me. He didn’t bother to acknowledge me. He’d patched up the spot damaged in battle. The Queen and King graced their thrones alongside their elders. I took my seat. Another attack? Eternal winter? Hell the sun barely woke in the mage dimension. ‘I have an important announcement to make,’ Solaris said almost in a whisper. General Storm and the prince sat across from me. My eyes searched for Marcus he better not have turned her in or else I’d forget he was my friend. Solaris gripped her throne, ‘With the chaos be falling our world’s I’ve discovered my court is lacking.’ No. I swallowed my eyes darted to the king, prince then the general. She wouldn’t. ‘I’ve brought it upon myself to promote a lesser member. I beli
