Chapter Nine

THAT NIGHT, I sneak out of my room with the sack of Fairy Dream in my hand and Fairy’s Awakening hanging from my waist. As soon as the guard standing outside my room turns in response to the sound of my door opening, I sprinkle a pinch of Fairy Dream at his face.

I hold my breath, ready to silence him with a spell if he calls out for help. The guard sways a little before he collapses to the floor.

Once I’m sure he won’t get up or open his eyes, I pick up my dress and step over him. Walking on tiptoes, I make my way to the fairy dungeon using the meager light of the moon shining in through the windows.

The wooden door leading to the dungeon creaks when I blast the lock and push it open. I wince at all the noise it makes.

“Who’s there?” someone behind the door asks.

I don’t give him the chance to attack. The moment I see him, I throw a handful of Fairy Dream in the faces of the half dozen guards now rushing toward the door.

I beam when they fall into a heap. This is easier than I’d expected.

I continue on my way to the dungeon, throwing Fairy Dream at everyone I see along the way. When I reach the larger part of the dungeon, I use a wind spell to spread Fairy Dream over all the prisoners and guards.

My heart pounds as I clutch my staff. Keldrin, Razen, Xander, and Princess Salvene are in their individual cells, fast asleep either from the toll of the day or my Fairy Dream.

I walk to Keldrin’s cell and gaze down at him. He’s leaning against the wall with one leg stretched out and the other drawn up. His hand rests on a knee, and his thick eyebrows furrow together even in sleep.

I drink in every inch of his handsome face until someone’s snore startles me from my trance.

Right. I have to get them out of here. Now.

Reaching into the sack of Fairy’s Awakening, I sprinkle some on Keldrin and watch his eyes flutter open.

“Adri.” He blinks as though trying to decide if I’m real. “Am I dreaming?”

“No.” I force the word out and turn to wake the others, afraid that if I continued to gaze at him, I might do or say something without thinking.

Xander doesn’t say anything when he wakes up and finds me outside his cell.

“Thanks, Adriana. I owe you one for today,” Razen says as his silver eyes scan the dungeon.

Princess Salvene is the last person I wake up. She narrows her eyes and stands to her full height upon seeing me. “I know you’re involved with the fairies. Did you ask them to catch all of us?”

“Would I come here to free you if I did?” I ask.

She purses her lips. “That’s because you’re as cunning as a fox.”

I ignore her.

My eyes fall on the locks and the iron bars. This time around, I’ve learned my lesson. If Drake had enhanced them with a spell, then I just need to find a weak area he hadn’t enhanced.
