Chapter Twenty-Three

It was the fourth day of the full moon and all Qinkas was on high alert. The Ffrei feared the night that came for so long once every year, it signaled a time of attacks by the Priests of O’on and Terrax. They had celebrated his death, but even seeing his head did not take away the learned fear of the dark, the Frei people had developed. Queen Jenzenya knew that their new friend, King Dracon had killed Terrax, for she had his weapon as a trophy and her eyes witnessed his head in a bag, anxiety still filled her, as it did with all the Ffrei. They all hoped they would suffer no attack for the first time in years. It was an uneasy day of complete darkness, as Queen Jenzenya attended her court, it was unspoken, but understood.

It was late in the day when Queen Jenzenya suddenly noticed something odd in the air before her. She wiped her eyes, thinking they were tired, seeing a blurry distortion in the air near the center of the court.

The armor-clad demon, stepped from the opening to the palace floor, and a black mist emanated from his metal covered foot touching the marble floor. Those who were not soldiers fled, even the guards fled the palace and throne room leaving the soldiers alone to protect their queen. It stopped after exiting the rift, standing tall, examining the scene around him. A familiar woman then stepped from behind the demon knight, in a black silk gown and a crown made of the blackest stone. In her fear, Queen Jenzenya was unable to recognize Venalina, who appeared with a wicked smile as she stepped casually between her dark warrior and the soldiers of the queen. Another figure came from the rift, this one, she had no problem recognizing, it was Thikuf.
