Opening my eyes, I’m confused. I look around me and can’t understand where I am. I’d just been in the tub, letting myself relax enough to close my eyes. Now, I’m not even in my camp.

The room is empty and dark. There’s a bed in the middle and a dresser that looks empty.

What fresh hell is this?

I rush to the door and rip it open, but there are bricks beyond it. Floor to ceiling. Tightly packed with mortar between them.

The window is the same, only bricks lay beyond it.

The drawers are empty and the bed is neatly made. Black walls, black linens, red bricks. I can’t make sense of what this place is.

I must be asleep and too tired to dream, so I sit on the edge of the bed and wait to wake up. Then I’ll be solidly back in reality, in the tub. Where I belong.

Being in such an empty space, alone, with no servants to interrupt or check on me, is unnerving. I’m more in touch with myself than I’ve been in a long time. More grounded.

Exhaustion no longer sucks at my neck like a greedy succubus, so I must be asleep. My mind roams to the events of the last few weeks, the madness that’s become my life. I’m used to monotony. The galas and summits I had to attend were the most excitement I got. And those were only to keep the peace or to show face as proof to the light Fae that the treaty still stands.

Now, my days are a litany of problems. Death is almost done, and it’ll be the Fae’s turn to finish off the left-behind impurity. Though, I’m sure there won’t be much. The last step in Father’s plan—the breakup—will be carried out when Death is secured.

The last of the power we’ll send through the world will break the land masses apart, ensuring no nation becomes too large and the issue doesn’t rise again. It’s the most important of the phases, so I’m thankful Vinca had been able to find some way to temporarily heal me.

When this is done, when the humans are handled, my mission will shift. Hunting is what I’ll be doing for the foreseeable future.

Wraith hunting.

Because whatever did this to me has to be killed. I can’t leave my people without a ruler. Not when we’ve done so much to save our species and this planet.

A deep hunger for vengeance burns in my belly at the thought of finding whatever did this to me. Torture is at the top of my to-do list. Because the things I’ve endured for the being’s hatred are overwhelming.

Part of me wants to let Argine and Vinca have the creature. Let them disembowel it while it still breathes. For what it’s done and the damage it’s caused, it’s deserving of such a sentence.

My mind drifts back to Lucianne’s blue eyes and the tears she shed while she held me down. A thread of respect grew for her. While I’ve always respected her as an Elder Fae, this new respect is different.
