CALLIOPHE SPRITE

The fae are not happy to have Wyerns helping them. The mortals are terrified, and the rest of the supernaturals are hostile. I rub the back of my neck. How exactly did I get roped into being down here, while Solandis continues with the training of our army? They don’t need any more training; they have trained for war for their entire lives. It’s been so, so long since anyone has known war. A massive portion of our army remembers the old war, long before my birth, and I can see it in their eyes. War is here and everyone should fear it. The Rift, an old story, is real, and our world is in danger. We have two hundred thousand in our army, and over half are riders.

We will be able to defend ourselves better than the fae did. They were taken out from the inside, and they never stood a chance. I always thought they would be cured of their snobbery when their city was gone, but no. They are refugees with an attitude like none other. I can understand why everyone is pissed with them. I’m sure half the fae here were born with a gold stick shoved so far up their asses that they aren’t aware it’s even there anymore. We’ve been nothing but nice to them. Well, most of us have. Only a few stupid, cocky Wyern males have tried their luck. After Zurine made an example of a few that attempted to hurt a fae female, there hasn’t been any more.

Our laws are strict about females, but we also have laws on refugees. They are our people now, and we have to find a way to live together until the war is over and they can rebuild their home. It’s not going to be easy incorporating them into the city, but as I remind some of the Wyerns, their king is half fae and currently has a big obsession with a pink-haired fae who claims to be his mate. I fucking believe that part of the story. I’ve never seen Emerson as obsessed with anyone like he is with her. I like her too. She has a smart attitude and puts Emerson in his place.

These are his people, too, I remind myself. Cruel, entitled people, but his. Yes, they’ve shunned him for years and called him a monster. I am not a fan of the snobby, pretentious people who are hopping into tents with a disgusted look, but not all of them are that way. Some of the fae I’ve met are kinder than I’ve given them credit for. The mortals who are flooding into the city do not care about the tents; they are just happy to be fed and be alive.

This is the end of the survivors who made it here, short of a hundred thousand people, not even a tenth of the amount of people who were living in Ethereal City when it fell. The city is locked down with shadow magic, monsters, and the males from the Rift now.
