Cobar

The acrid scent of despair hits me first as I’m thrown into another room. I’ve learned the hard way that this place is about deliberate cruelty. Moving boulders, whipping me, beating me, it’s a game of cruelty and nothing more. They want me to push my body beyond its limit to drive me to madness.

Unfortunately for them, I won’t let that happen. If I can help it.

Nothing’s ever been this so difficult. Not the rigorous training I was forced to do during my youth, not even the brutal bloodshed of war could compare to this torment. It feels like we’ve been here for months, but I’m not sure, all I know is that my head pounds with each breath I take. I have to clench my teeth and focus on the barrier, or else I know it’ll fall.

Some of the princes aren’t reinforcing it any longer.

It’s frightening. The only reason any of us would stop reinforcing the barrier is if we couldn’t any longer. What has the Keeper done to them that they can’t?

“Bastards.” Every one of the House of Death fae. They know what’s happening, and they’re allowing it.

“Do you think this is a game?” I clench my fist and press it into the wall, trying to stay upright in this new room. A new room that probably has some new horror in it. “If you keep this up, the barrier will fall. Is that what you want?”

But no one answers my angry words. Of course not. The cowards. But truly they’ll be the first ones to come running to us if the barrier falls, pleading for safety from the iron demons. Their lands, after all, are closest to the barrier.

A fire of frustration burns in me as I glance around the room, my eyes jumping from the pools of light from the torches to the shadows in between. Another hell hole. Lovely. But at least I don’t see any dead lingering in the darkness, waiting to cause more pain.

Then, my gaze slides over a figure on the ground, then back. My heart sinks. Sulien’s body lies in a heap like forgotten garbage rather than the Prince of the Summer Court. Sulien?

I rush to his side and kneel down, unable to breathe. My hand trembles as I roll him over and see his pale face stained with blood. And for one terrible second, I’m gutted. I feel like a man who has lost everything and has nothing left to cling to. And then, he breathes.

“Sulien,” I whisper raggedly. He doesn’t move or say a word in response, which is alarming, but as long as he’s alive, that’s all that matters. “What did they do to you?”

I shift, hissing in pain as I do so, and go and grab a torch to study his body, looking for the most severe of his injuries. It only takes a minute to spot his back. The wounds on his back are so bad they take my breath away.

“They must be giving me the easy treatment.
