We were still a distance away from the Elf kingdom, but you could already see the tall castle. It was made completely out of white marble and, as we approached; it seemed to grow in size, looming over everything that surrounded it. As we got closer, you could see a large moat surrounding the exterior castle walls, as we walked over the drawbridge, I glanced in the water seeing different types of fish and creatures swimming around. Everything was amazing, it was like the whole place sparkled, there wasn’t any dirt or mess to be found, it made our village look so small in comparison. As we walked through the village leading to the main part of the castle, I looked at my surroundings all the homes were made from white stone. The roofs were thatched, and in behind each home were vegetable and herb gardens. Every house looked exactly the same. Where there weren’t cobblestone pathways or roads, there was lush green grass, flower gardens, and trees. It looked as though the scene had been

“You’re a fucken Prince?” Ari asked in disbelief, as we exited the throne room. “Why didn’t you tell us?” I asked, confused. It really didn’t make a difference if he was royalty or not. “The prince likes you.” Ela teased me when I frowned. “Princes come with a lot of baggage.” Karm commented. He shrugged, “People tend to find out who I am and treat me differently and I didn’t want you to.” “He wanted you to like him for who he is, not what he is.” Ela smiled. “We are not that shallow.” I noted as he nodded and kept walking. I looked around at the splendor, everything was made of marble. The walls and columns were white marble, and the floors were black marble, everything was cleaned to perfection, we followed him down a long hallway that was open to the courtyard, even the courtyard cobblestones were black marble stark against the greenery and flowers that lined the walkways and entrances. As beautiful as this place was, I missed the forest, everything here was a little too or

Where the hell did they go, I had gone back to their room to let them know when supper would be ready and no one was there. The two guards I had sent were nowhere to be found as well. Could they have left the castle grounds? I headed back to the courtyard to check one last time. I saw Bram walking with four of the sisters. “I have been looking for you guys. Where have you been?” I asked Bram, “Where are Ward and Akasha?” “I’m here, you just can’t see me.” Akasha spoke as I looked towards where her voice was coming from. “Why are you invisible?” “Correction, Spirit form. Not invisible, they are vastly different.” “And how is that?” “Well, for one, if a person has the ability to see ghosts, they can see me, where if I were invisible, no one could see me.” She pointed out. “That’s beside the point we were out training and…” “You left the castle grounds?” I asked angrily. “Yes… now let me finish, please.” She paused, then continued, “We were training, and Colonel Delano showed up

Frustrated, I leaned back against the couch, Tyr’s hand still on my back. Closing my eyes, my head pounded, and my vision still had yet to return. It had not taken this long before. Maybe it was because the two visions were so close together. “Here you go.” I heard Ezryn say after a door had opened and closed. Seconds later, a cloth with ice in it was placed on my forehead. “If he is not a full Goblin, then what is he?” Gia asked. “Don’t know, but he can control elements, so he’d have to be part dragon shifter or part pixie. I am leaning more toward pixie as it would explain why he started attacking them first, wanting to take over, then again that is just a guess.” I replied, doing my best to ignore my headache. “I remember a rumor at the pixie court before the king and queen were killed.” Ela shared. “What rumor?” I asked her telepathically. “It was just a rumor.” Karm replied coldly before turning to Ela, “We were sworn to keep it a secret.” “No, we were told to take it to ou

I looked down at the beautiful woman asleep in my arms; I had every intention of putting her down to let her rest, but I couldn’t bring myself to leave her. She started moving around again in her sleep, her towel slipping down, revealing her back as she turned in my arms. I noticed intricate designs shaping into wings which filled her back. What looked like diamonds were embedded in her skin, making the details of her wings stand out, grey and white swirls filled in the wings, hypnotizing me. I brushed the hair off her shoulder and looked at the stars that lined the top half of her shoulder leading up onto her neck. They had the same diamonds in them, but they also had other colored gems as well. I covered her back when she shivered, pulling her closer to me. Ari walked into the room and crossed her arms over her chest, “wake her up.” She demanded. “Why?” I asked, confused. “We have to fight Taoen tomorrow. She needs to train, and she still needs to tell us about this blasted visi
