Chapter Twenty-Three

KADE SINCLAIR’S FRUSTRATION was growing as he searched the woods for the elusive unicorn. He was deep in the forest to the north of the Fae District. So far, he’d run into a large number of magical creatures and beings. None of them could tell him where to find the unicorn. Some of them had tried to attack him, but he’d teleported away rather than killing them. He wasn’t there to destroy anyone, but to find a way to avert the ruination of the city.

The warlock had met with his allies a few nights ago, just to touch base. Neither Sebastian, nor Raum had any real news. Jardine hadn’t been given the information about how to use the artifact yet. The fairy and elf who were in possession of the instructions must have been holding onto them. They were either still trying to decide what to do with the valuable knowledge, or they’d given them to the Immortal Triumvirate.

Stumbling over a root, Kade lurched forward and became tangled in vines. He cursed beneath his breath and carefully extricated himself from the plants. Some flora were sentient, so it would be a bad idea to harm any of them. They could rile up the beasts to drive him away before he could reach his goal.

“How hard can it be to find a unicorn?” the warlock muttered when he’d freed himself. He spied a path that had been made by animals and worked his way over to it. His cloak had been torn by the vines, but it repaired itself as he strode along the trail.

Heavy rain was falling, but the canopy shielded him from the worst of the deluge. Winter was over and spring was in full force now. Insects buzzed all around him. It was strangely peaceful being away from the hubbub of the city. No one treated him like a lowly minion and he didn’t need to pretend to be something he wasn’t.

His head swiveled from side to side as he searched the dense woods for the elusive unicorn. He detected hundreds of magical beasts and creatures in the nearby area alone. More supernatural beings than he’d realized were living in Nox. It had to be safer for them to dwell in the forest rather than living in the abandoned houses. No matter how far they ran, they couldn’t escape from the Energy Tax. The spell locked on to the magic or life force of everyone in each District. They were all forced to pay their dues.

The warlock wanted more than just revenge for his dead mother. He dreamed of changing things in the City of Night so people didn’t have to live in poverty and fear. Defeating the Immortal Triumvirate would most likely bring an end to the city. Everyone who had moved here in the hope of finding safety would have to leave. “If I could somehow strip the magic the Immortal Triumvirate are hoarding, I might be able to funnel it back into Nox,” he said, mulling over the problem.
