Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 557: Retribution
This time, I knew I had to make an entrance. If power was all Aoilainn understood, I'd show her just who and what she was dealing with.No promises the Sidhe realm would still be standing when I was done with her.As much as I was turned around and lost, Shaylee knew exactly where we were going and, with some help from her magic and mine, shortened the trip by altering the path much as her mother had done on our initial approach. It was only then I understood just how fluid the realm was, how easy it could be to bend and manipulate, to create in exactly the shape I wanted.Tempting. And therein lay the problem, didn't it? Queen Aoilainn had her own way for so long, controlled everything for centuries, the idea I would rebel against her had to be driving her crazy.Wicked. The crazier the better.Bronagh stayed at my side when I entered the court clearing, much to my surprise. The queen waited for me on her stupid throne, the crown prince next to her, the same calm, cold expression
Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 558: Battle Of Wills
I had about a split second of warning before Quaid's power slammed up in a wall between us, pushing me back from him even as a whip of green Sidhe magic lashed at my feet. I stumbled away, shock winning for about another heartbeat or so before I understood the nature of his thrall."You've given him a Sidhe soul." Of course, she had. Made total sense. And now, thanks to his thrall, while she controlled Quaid's human mind, the fallen Sidhe inside him was free to act. "You go too far."She flickered her fingers at me, still refusing to turn, or even speak.Expecting me to hurt my friend. Yeah. Classy.Gram's mind dove into mine as Quaid pulled the sword from his hip and stalked toward me with soft chiming sounds, his fluid metal armor flowing like a second skin. I had to duck under the swish of the blade and back pedal further while Charlotte and Galleytrot growled. But hesitated.We have to reach Quaid, Gram sent. The only way to do that is to have him shed the Sidhe soul.Great i
Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 559: Relinquishing Shaylee
"I see negotiations with Her Majesty are going well." Venner's chuckle made my temper bubble. I briefly considered something nasty, but shoved it away.No time for pettiness. Not while I had my friends to save. Not to mention catching Ameline.I turned my back on Venner, leaning against the clay wall, arms crossed over my chest as I drew some deep breaths to quiet my temper.Can we find the others? I directed my question at Shaylee.She didn't feel hopeful. It's possible I could locate one of them, she sent.My demon growled. Yeah, bad idea. No doubt Aoilainn would just strike at someone else while I tried to do a singular rescue. And I was kind of attached to all of them, thanks.What about my maji magic? I reached for it again, felt it humming softly in my heart.It allows you to see past illusions, my vampire sent. So if we were able to locate the others, I'm sure you'd have no trouble rescuing them. But again, you'd be doing so one at a time.Mother will be careful, now tha
Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 560: Separation
Green Sidhe magic flowed from me, a mist of pulsating energy, coming to hover beside me, still connected to my fingertips by the barest touch. It was so strange to feel Shaylee on the outside while I continued to experience our connection.The mist thickened, turned opaque, the barest features forming in the face, arms and flowing hair, the hem of a dress all undulating as though a strong wind could blow her soul away.I didn't care who saw my tears as Shaylee lifted her free hand to wave at me, a smile forming on her face, crystal points of light sliding down her soul's cheeks as she, too, wept. I forced myself to watch, even though I just wanted to turn away. She turned and touched the construct her mother created for her, the magic of her essence sliding over the twisted vines and into them.I held the feeling of her for as long as I could, and it seemed she did the same, not losing the last of our contact until absolutely necessary. I found myself, unknowing I'd moved, standing
Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 561: Unexpected Ally
I stumbled a few times, trying my best to stay focused while my body fought to understand what had changed. No more the casual grace of Shaylee's form, or the speed, either. I struggled to keep up, forcing the others to slow. Only Quaid seemed to have the same issues."The armor must have added something extra," he said as he walked beside me. "I feel like the whole world is sitting on me."Not to mention the fact I'd shrunk. Okay, not really. But everyone else seemed so tall, their Sidhe forms towering over me. Charlotte's wolf head was at level with mine and Galleytrot looked like an elephant. Amazing what an extra six inches could do, once they were taken away.Gram paced along beside me on my left, Venner just ahead with Fergus. I kept an eye on Venner as best I could, but between the ache in my soul and the adaptation to this new reality, I could barely keep from collapsing in a sobbing heap for a few minutes.Which would turn into a few hours, I had no doubt.No crying. That
Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 562: Retreat
Like most of the Sidhe realm, what seemed like an impossibly long journey from one place to the next took almost no time at all. I just considered asking Thalion how long it would take to reach the border after setting out again, heading toward the storm-of course we were-when the air itself seemed to sigh and shift, the sky dulling. A thin, wavering line of green fire appeared in the grass, separating where we stood from the continued expanse of ground. I almost asked why it hadn't looked like this before and rolled my eyes instead.More glamour. I was getting very sick of my eyes lying to me.At least the other side of the magical barrier looked more ordinary. Made me wonder if the Unseelie King was less into the fake presentation or if he'd grunge things up just to push the limits. I'd heard only bad things about the dark court. While the Seelie were tricksy and more than a little arrogant, all tales I'd heard of the Unseelie made me wince. Monsters welcome. Though, from my experi
Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 563: The Other Side
I'm not sure what I was expecting. Thunderclaps and lightning and doom coming down on me, maybe. Instead, I rubbed my arms against the subtle chill in the air, feet sliding over dry grass and onto a graveled path. I turned to look back, over the shining land the queen maintained as her reality, Bronagh already gone from view, before spinning back to compare.Not dismal, not really. Just duller, unglamoured. Ordinary. Trees dotted the distance, a riverbank not far away, likely the same one running past the queen's palace. Its banks looked rocky, not the shining white stone I was used to now, but gray and laced with darkness and light. A real river.So the king did like things based in reality. This could work to my advantage after all."What did she want?" Quaid fell in beside me."Nothing." I sighed and shrugged. "Let's just keep moving."Venner's beaming smile almost made me laugh, would have if I wasn't in such a horrible state of mind. He looked like a kid who'd just been grant
Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 564: March Of The Unseelie
It didn't take long for the Unseelie king and queen to assemble a large party for the ride back to the barrier between kingdoms. I was a little surprised they were so willing to step up and knew my cynicism came from dealing with Aoilainn. I promised myself if Shaylee's mother was acting like a total bitch because Ameline had somehow influenced her, I'd give her the benefit of the doubt later.I wasn't holding my breath.Oh, yes. And when I said ride? I didn't mean horses. I was quite firmly hoisted onto the back of one of the giant stone Fey, settled on his right shoulder while Gram was placed next to me with lots of space for the two of us. Quaid hitched along with the Sidhe's partner, who I supposed was an attractive troll with her lovely weeds for hair. I caught myself laughing as she handed Quaid a flower with her gigantic fingers.Someone has a crush on you.Quaid shot me a glare while Fergus settled next to him with a big grin on his face.Oh, shut up, Quaid muttered.I lo
