Where To Next.

Dylan.

Okay, so this is the most fun I’ve had in a long time with these guys. Yeah, they killed my dad, I mean that’s not great, even if I didn’t really like him that much, he did some really awful shit to these people, but he was still my dad. I can understand why it had to happen, plus it all led me to my cute little fairy doll. It does sting though. I’ve heard everyone here calling her ‘Slayer’, which I thought was a bit of an odd name, especially for a fairy, but after to talking to Jordan for a bit I’ve learned that her name is Layah. They call her slayer because she’s ruthless on the battlefield and she’s saved everyone’s life here at least once or twice and has the highest body count amoungst the group. My little mate is fierce. I like that

I’m currently walking with Jordan at the front of the line, while Layah has dropped to the back. I can still smell her heavenly scent, so I know she’s safe. She’s probably just busy making sure her family is all safe. Speaking of what a cool bunch of people! I seriously don’t understand why the council would want to kill them off. I was about ten the last time I saw magic and I had almost forgotten just how cool it is. So far I’ve met witches and warlocks, Jordan’s obviously fae, there’s a few elementals and a bunch I can’t place just yet, but they are just the nicest people.

“So, where are we headed now?” I ask my new friend Jordan.

“Next on the list would be Marius Makay.”

“The hellhounds?”

“Yup. Lucky for us, this old sewage line is going to lead us straight down into their little fiery pit in about five day’s time.”

“Bloody hell. So ya’ll are serious about this? You’re going to off each and everyone one of the council?”

“Yep. World peace and all that.” Jordan says with little spirit fingers.

“What happens after that?” I ask curiously, happy that he’s open and honest with me.

“Well, we would hope that once they're dead that maybe people can start thinking for themselves and see that we deserve a chance to live like everyone else. Lucky for us we got the Rommati heir on our side so hopefully you could speak with your people on our behalf?”

“Huh, yeah, I didn’t even think of that. Guess I’m sort of the dragon shifters leader now…I probably should have left a note saying I’d be back.”

Jordan laughs. “Yeah, hey mum, just going on a little trip around the world with my new friends the resistance, don’t wait up.”

After a few more hours of walking, Jordan declares it time for a break. Everyone starts rummaging through their bags for certain things while a few warlocks do some sort of spell around us that shimmers like a big bubble. Jordan says it’s a cloaking spell, and anyone outside of it can’t see, hear or smell us. Hmm, maybe that’s what my little minx did last night.

Layah comes up to get her bottle of water again and shares it with me when she’s declared she’s had enough. I saw how much she drank the first water break, and we’ve been walking for hours so I push it back and give her my best stern look.

“Drink more.”

“How about no.” She says back stubbornly.

“Please?” I try with a little smile.

“I need to hunt.” She says putting the bottle on the ground and turning to Jordan.

“We’re still close to the village so I want everyone staying down here. I’ll go up topside and find some food for everyone. You keep them safe.”

“Gotcha slayer.” He mock salutes.

She makes her way to a ladder on the wall that leads up to a man hole like the one we entered through and I follow her before she spins around to face me.

“Stay here.” She clips out and it’s so cute that she thinks she can tell me what to do. I reach out and boop her nose.

“I’m coming. My dragon doesn’t like to be cooped up too long and a hunt sounds nice.”

She rolls her eyes adorably.

“You don’t think that a massive ass golden dragon won’t draw attention? The whole point is to not be seen.”

“So you did see me! I KNEW IT! And technically it wouldn’t draw any attention. This is after all still close to dragon territory so no one would even bat an eye. But they might if they see a cute little fairy walking around. Maybe you should stay here, and I’ll go hunt for us. I’m a very capable provider.” I puff my chest out and smile down at her.   

“Yeah, no, not happening. No one will see me any way.”

Seemingly done pushing to point she turns to climb the stairs and doesn’t say anything when I follow after her. I get the best view of her peachy little butt on the way up too. I really like those camo pants.
