“You’re the queen now?” Mike stood in the now empty hall with the others. The room had been cleared, the former queen’s body taken so that it may be prepared for her return to the sun.

“It would seem.” Briar nodded, her face still damp from the tears she shed. This was not something she wanted; Alesea was a good queen to their people. “Well before my time.”

“Shit.” He shook his head. “I’m sorry.”

Briar nodded again, this time with a small smile before her face turned hard again, burying her emotions. “There is a problem.”

“What is it?” Praia asked. She was having a hard time being in Vilar with all the fairies’ emotions. She tried her best to drown out the feelings, but every single soul in the city was mourning, and it stretched out farther as the news traveled to other locations.

“The Solaris stone, it's gone.” She kept her voice low; only a select few knew of it’s absence, and to alert any others would cause a panic that would wreak havoc upon the city.

“What stone?” Mike asked and looked to the others who seemed more informed, but not entirely.

“Come with me.” Briar led them back to the chamber, pausing just before stepping inside, the scent of blood, though cleaned from the surface of the floor, still lingered beneath the smell of cleaning solutions. She walked over to the throne, where she and every queen before her was meant to sit. Just above the headrest, was an opening. “Right here,” she pointed to the space which upon closer look had been damaged, “this is where it's meant to be, the Solaris stone. It is meant to harness the power of the sun. It concentrates it, allowing us to remain connected to its power even when it’s not above. It is also how we all stay connected, as one. Without it, our people are vulnerable. In time, the connection will begin to fade.” She looked to the three who had become her friends, her partners—she needed their help. “We must find it, before its too late.”

“Guys …” Praia stumbled back, holding her chest. Her eyes fell on Jinn, pain filled the wide orbs just as it painted her voice. “I need to call home.”

“Yes, okay.” Jinn conjured a portal, his version of a cellular phone. It allowed the user to peek in on anyone, anywhere. Because the portal was meant for her, Praia was the only one who could see the other side.

Praia peered through, her eyes frantically scanning a scene of chaos. She clutched her chest and shook her head. Tears, from her own sorrow, poured freely from reddened eyes. “This can’t be.”

“What's wrong?” Mike spoke softly to her. Jinn taught him quickly how to deal with her. He needed to remember that she was an empath and do nothing to further upset her.

“My home, it was attacked as well. The Lunaire stone, it works the same as the Solaris, it was stolen.”

“This cannot be good. Both stones taken on the same night.
