Chapter 12 - Alpheus
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!

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

‘Are you sure you’re feeling okay Stella?’ I asked. She didn’t have any visible scars, but her eyes seemed off not tired, though irritated. When Daylen brought me back I found Stella home. She didn’t offer up any explanation of how she escaped, she wasn’t pacing the room worried about me. She didn’t blast at me for vanishing either, nor was she upset I fought with Marcus. She was probably too pissed to feel anything. ‘Are you mad at me?’ She blinked at me a couple of times. ‘I’m fine. Maybe it’s the shook of almost being buried alive by rubble.’ Her response felt pre-generated. ‘Sorry about that.’ I winced. A couple more blinks, I thought her eyes were dry or dust caught in them. ‘Tonight we meet a man at Escar's club. He can help.’ She said and started for the hall. ‘You said it’s dangerous to be out at night.’ I stood. ‘Do you want to find your sister or not?’ She snapped. ‘I-I of course I do Stella.’ She shook her head and attempted a smile that wasn’t like her at all.

I slept in until I don’t know what time. The clock on the side bed in the guest room was forever stuck at seven pm. I was mourning two losses, my sister’s possible death and a guy who pushed me away before I could get close. Stella hadn’t come to my room, it had me worried she still wasn’t well from yesterday. I kicked off the blanket and went to shower. ‘There you are. We have to go.’ Stella said. I was drying my hair out and was only dressed in a towel when she walked through the door. ‘Are you sure about this Stella? Is it safe? The last two guys you found weren’t very I don’t know—’ ‘The elf is dead— Do you want to find your sister or not?’ ‘Of course I do, but—’ I blinked a couple times at the news of the death of the elf. I didn’t believe him at the time, but knowing he was gone thrust me to the realization that he was the first person to tell me my real identity. ‘Five minutes.’ She stormed out the room. ‘Stella!’ If there was a problem, why didn’t she just come out and

My hand slipped into his, once in he locked in and yanked me to my feet and tucked me under his arm. ‘Is anyone even following me?’ ‘Of course.’ ‘Oh yeah? Who?’ ‘Dark angels.’ I stopped but he hauled me along. ‘Why would they be after me?’ He lifted a shoulder, ‘You tell me.’ ‘Daylen!’ I looked behind me and suddenly dozens of eyes fixed on me. ‘They won’t hurt you.’ He said, his grip around my shoulders tightening. ‘I came with Stella—’ ‘I’m starting to believe she isn’t really your friend.’ ‘Why would you say that?’ A man slipped from the bar and slithered behind us. I gripped Daylen’s arm tighter, he looked over my head and pulled me in front of him. ‘Because she’s always nowhere to be seen. Why are you here anyway?’ ‘I—’ I couldn’t finish my sentence two men lingered behind us. ‘Daylen, we have company.’ ‘I know. I can only open the portal outside.’ He murmured. We were on the second floor and a flash of red eyes glared at us our way out. Daylen’s pace quickened

‘Leave me alone,’ I shoved Artemis’ hand away. ‘You’re hurt!’ ‘I told you I can heal myself.’ She grumbled the pan with water and cotton balls rattled on her laps. ‘It’s clearly not working.’ I rolled back on the couch. It wasn’t working. My body ached and my bones cracked. If I stood, I’d collapse. I laboured to breath. I turned to Artemis, her lips parted and her eyes frowned. I reached for her hand, moments ago I had her in my arms. Now I felt my essence flee me. ‘Let me try something, please.’ She whispered. ‘What’s that?’ Her hand trembled all the way to my cheek. My hand found hers there. I shut my eyes and relished her touch. ‘You’re bleeding internally Daylen.’ I groaned, ‘Fuck.’ She lifted my shirt to reveal where Avon's magic did the most damage. My skin was raw and black. Her hand pressed against the injury. ‘Shit Artemis.’ I spat. ‘I’m sorry!’ She moved closer and guided my face so that I was right in front of her. She pressed her forehead onto mine. I shut

Damn my brother to hell. I paced the throne room. How did he even get involved in my plans? ‘I almost had her!’ Blasted angels should have put up more of a fight. I sent six of them and they couldn’t take on one simple angel. Granted Artemis is a goddess and likely had a hand in the defeat, but still I expected more. I expected to have Artemis by my side and in my bed tonight. I had to wait another night until she was mine. This wasn’t the army I was taking to take down gods that was for sure. They couldn’t even handle a dinemus. I left the throne room and found myself in the empty war room. All the generals were out making sure my plans were seeing the day of light. Soon, Queen Here’s territory would be in my sights. I was alone with my plots and schemes starting at me. Though, a vital part of my plot was with my brother. Damn it, I feared she developed feelings for him. I didn’t care I knew it was nothing. It couldn’t last and it had no root to the ground. What Daylen didn’t exp
