Behind him, he heard Beth humming the theme song of The Neverending Story.His suit was torn in multiple places, and his shoes squished when he walked. Beth's outfit was a mess as well, but at least most of the dirt had come off in the dragon's mouth. "Well, guess we're ready to see the queen," he said, raising an eyebrow. "Unless you need a minute to fix your makeup or something."She rolled her eyes at him and started down the path without a word. He did a quick jog to catch up, his shoes squeaking beneath him.The fae gave them a wide berth, muttering to one another as Mike and Beth passed. The path led them inside the coliseum and terminated into a small, stone bridge. The coliseum had a giant, multi-tiered garden along the inner wall that bustled with the activity of well-dressed faerie folk. The mountain that the building was carved into had three waterfalls that fed into a river system that ran through it and around a small, flower-shaped stone island in the middle.The bridge

"Enough!" The queen's wings swung down and a hot wind blew across the court, scattering some of the flying servants who cried out in alarm. She floated off the ground, her aura expanding around her, giving her the appearance of a tiny star. "You are an abomination, Caretaker. You stole faerie magic, and suffused it with your very soul, and for that, I would kill you.""Then do it. Let's see the brave queen smash the puny mortal." He raised his arms and turned so everyone could see him. "I'm just a defenseless human, after all, so show everyone how brave you are, Tinkerbell! Blow me away!"There was a collective groan from the crowd as the fae scrambled over each other to get a better view of what was about to transpire, but the swirling mists suddenly closed in on them, leaving Mike and Beth alone with the queen of the fae. He turned to face her, and saw that her face was contorted in a mask of rage.She summoned a swirling ball of fire, light and shadows with her hands and held it ov

The man's name was on the tip of her tongue, but the harder she tried to say it, the further it crawled down her own throat, determined to hide. The darkness now pulsed with stars, bright things that hurt her eyes and made her head throb in time with the universe around her.She opened her eyes one at a time to see that she was lying on a bed in a dimly lit room. On its own, her hand touched her neck. It was purely instinctual, and the move itself caused her head to pound in time with her pulse.A small moan escaped her lips, and when she tried to sit up, nausea and dizziness forced her to lay back down.Some time passed before the rustling of fabric caught her ears, and she turned her head to see a woman standing in the opening of the room. The stranger snapped her fingers and a lantern by the door ignited, filling the room with a soft, yellow light that was barely tolerable."You're finally awake. I was worried you would be out forever." The woman picked up the lantern and walked to

The sausages arrived with a side of bacon and some toast. Sofia set them down on the table, then handed over a knife and fork."Thought you might want something other than just meat, but let me know. I can make whatever.""Are you the chef or something?" she asked while taking the utensils.Ratu smirked, and Sofia shrugged."I like to be useful. Unlike some people here, I enjoy spending time with everyone, and love to cook. The Library gets lonely."The Library.There was a sudden flash of a memory, but it faded away before it could leave a mark. She looked down at her plate and picked up her fork.Oh well. It was better to be confused on a full stomach. The toast was fine, but the sausage was absolutely exquisite, and when she bit into the bacon, she let out a small purr of delight. The others watched her for a few seconds, and then Sofia offered to make her some more since she seemed so hungry. She nodded, and held up her plate for the cyclops to take.When Sofia came back a bit lat

"She's been human for less than twenty-four hours. Though she has watched over mankind for centuries, it doesn't mean she understands them." Zel threw a look at Quetzalli. "I don't pretend to fully understand a dragon's supernatural biology, or the spell that transformed her. Fae magic is certainly a thing to behold, but so is a dragon. Her body is still acclimating to this form, and because some of her draconic traits have already manifested since her arrival, like the scales on her skin, it's possible other traits may push through the enchantment over time.""So puberty for dragons, got it. Hey, can I ask you something? What do you know about Sulyvahn?""The dullahan?" She shrugged. "I haven't talked to him, actually. I've been too busy here.""What about the others? I've seen him speaking with the centaurs and I wonder what he's been talking about.""Oh? You have my curiosity. Why the sudden interest in him?"Mike frowned. "The faerie queen knew we were coming and made sure we had
