Chapter Twenty-one

I arrived back in Telophy just before lunch to find Jack and Hilary not long awake and Ashleigh still snoring. The mood around the castle was sombre. Eleven faeries had vanished while I’d slept the night before—four in Telophy, five in Rynn and, worryingly, two in the Kingdom of Morlan, suggesting there may be three Shadow Kings rather than two. Thoughts of what the missing were likely experiencing plunged me straight back to the Shadow King’s cave, and not even learning that Leif and his father were absent from lunch because they were leading a search for them could help clear the visions from my mind.

I left my food uneaten and went to my room, throwing myself down on the bed and staring at the ceiling. Hilary joined me a few minutes later. She sat down beside me and drew a finger along the edge of the bed as she said, ‘You okay?’

‘It’s always there, Hil—just waiting for the next thing to bring it back again.’

‘The Shadow King?’

‘All of it—the cave, the blood …’ I wiped at my eyes with my fingers. ‘Those poor people … They’ll be stuffed into cages and left in the sun right now so those disgusting creatures can steal it from them again tonight.’

‘King Telophy might find them.’

‘He won’t—they’ll be nowhere near that putrid cave and even more well hidden than they were the last time.’

She stood and held a hand to me. ‘There’s a music festival by the river a little way—come with me?’

‘I’m not in the mood.’

‘More reason to come,’ Hilary insisted.
