Tania gave a wide smile. "Then I won''t stop you, father!" she said. "Let''s go!"


    Just as they were all ready to go to the north wing after Felis and the monks, Tania heard blood curdling shrieks. She snapped her head. "What is happening?" she remarked as she looked at her parents with pure shock.


    A soldier came running to them from the corridor, jumping over the corpses or injured soldiers that were lying on the ground. "Your Highness!" he said in a breathless voice. "The Nyxers have attacked the pce!"


    Biham clenched his teeth as a rumble vibrated in his chest. He tipped his head up as his beast reared its head up and he let out a roar. The roar was deafening. The sses and the pirs of the pce shook with it. His wolf wanted toe out and protect his pce and his people. Frustration was mounting on how things could go so bad. He wanted to kill Felis like yesterday.


    He snarled in the direction of the north wing without realizing that his beast was already out. He dipped his chin and the next instant, he leapt in the air. When hended, he was on his four paws. Peeling his lips back, he snarled ferociously. He looked at Kinshra who was staring at her mate in... awe. He was nearly as tall as she was. Proud to see her beautiful mate in his wolf form, Kinshra held her chin high.


    "Go Biham," she said as she stroked the fur of his head. "I am right beside you." Then she nced at the men who were standing behind them and motioned them to follow the king.


    Tania knew what she had to do. After seeing her mother and father rush towards the north wing, Tania dashed towards the main hall where she was sure that the Nyxers hade. She opened her mind link with Eltanin and said, ''The Nyxers have attacked the pce. Come here.'' She closed the mind link without listening to his response because she knew what he was going to say. He would ask her to stay protected until hees. But that was thest thing on her mind. She was going to kill all of them!


    When she reached the main hall, she saw how the Nyxers were attacking the Pegasii soldiers. It was as if the Pegasii soldiers were no match to them. Fury sted in her chest. She called upon her magic and the next instant her body was wrapped by it. She hurled her hands forward, letting it all go. Bright yellow orbs, the size of a fist, hovered over the entire main hall.


    The Nyxers were shocked to see a fae in the pce. They all looked from her to the orbs. The orbs were glowing, pulsating with energy, with fire. Before they could have the time to react, the orbs exploded over them. Surprisingly, they didn''t explode over the Pegasii soldiers.


    The Nyxers screamed as the orbs sted, showering fire over them. They ran helter-skelter to save themselves but wherever they were going the orbs followed them. The fire balls would chase the Nyxers and st over their body, ripping their skin off in multiple ces, splintering their flesh and bones.


    The Pegasii soldiers were awe-struck. For the first time they were seeing the heir of their king in such a way. Feeling like they were now covered and supported well, they attacked every Nyxer who tried toe in because they didn''t know if Lusitania''s magic would again work or not. They wanted to give her rest.

    When Felis reached the north wing, he saw that it was empty. There were a few soldiers that were stationed in the corridors and some in front of the main rooms, but other than that there was no one. Not a servant was there. He ordered the monks to kill every soldier who was stationed there using dark magic. The soldiers were caught by surprise when they were attacked with thick smoky tendrils that coiled around their neck and snapped them instantly.


    ording to the map that he remembered he realized that the king''s room wasn''t very far. It was a possibility that they must be escaping through a secret tunnel. However, a while back he had heard a menacing roar that shook the ground of the pce. Only a king''s roar could be that powerful. But Felis was sure that Biham was inside his room and not outside.


    Along with his men, he rushed to the king''s chamber. There were two guards standing at the door. As soon as they saw the Nyxers, they brought their spears forward to attack them, but dark magic snapped their necks. "Idiots!" Felis grunted and banged open the door.


    The room was... empty. He walked inside and scanned it, sniffed it, but it didn''t look like it had anyone in. "Check the walls for secret tunnels!" he ordered his men. Within five minutes, the monks and the Nyxers had broken most of the furniture and peeled off the rug to check if there was any secret passage.


    While they were doing it, they heard heavy footfalls and pping of wings. "Pegasii soldiers areing this way!" Felis shouted to warn them. "Along with faes!"


    Kaitos''s blood drained from his face. "Felis," he said in a low voice. "It is time you escape or surrender. We are no match to the faes!"


    "Then don''t attack the faes!" he growled.


    "What do you mean?" Kaitos said, confused. "They areing to attack us and you are saying that we don''t defend ourselves?"


    "Create a thick magic wall around yourself now!" Felis ordered. "Stop looking for the tunnel!"


    Kaitos grumbled but he didn''t have a choice. Along with his monks, he created a thick smoky wall around them that was surely going to hide them for a long time, but he didn''t know what faes could do to it.


    "As soon as theye in," said Felis as he came to stand near Kaitos with his sword lifted in the air. "You will--" Just when he was about toplete his order, he smelled... Biham. A smile came on his lips. He was finding Biham in the room when he wasing right in their trap.
