I stood with my feet planted, knees bent, and hands relaxed to the side, waiting for Queen Adris to fling her curse at me.

“Crysta, what on earth are you doing?” Jareth asked in amusement.

“I’m gettin’ in the zone, prepping myself for her magical attack.”

Graul and Jareth threw back their heads in laughter while Kheelan sat on the sidelines laughing it up as well. Terise walked by him and slapped him across the back of the head before coming to stand next to me. Kheelan merely eyed her from behind appreciatively before he realized I’d caught him checking out his fated mate. He scowled and folded his arms across his chest.

“Don’t you boys laugh at Crysta,” Lily said, coming to stand next to me and Terise. “She’s never done this before.”

“Well, she doesn’t need to crouch as if she’s waiting to get tackled,” Jareth said, getting out the last of his laughter. He walked over to me and grabbed my shoulders. “Just stand here relaxed. The only thing that needs to be ready are your hands as they call forth magic to block the spell.”

“Okay, and what exactly do I do to block a spell from reaching me?” I asked.

“Do you remember when Eddie and his friends tried to corner us in the human realm?”

My eyes widened as I thought back to that day that seemed so long ago.

“Yeah. You threw up a shield that blocked their bullets.”

“Bullets,” Kheelan said, getting up and striding over. “What in the world is she talking about, Jareth?”

Jareth glared at him. “Not that it’s any of your business, but Crysta was walking around the human realm without a glamour.”

Kheelan slapped his hand across his face as if he’d missed something supremely important.

“I can’t believe Rodri and I never thought of that.” He groaned in dismay. “By the gods, Crysta, you must have had a million stalkers on your hands.”

“Eddie being one of them,” I said dryly. “Anyway, Jareth took care of them without a problem, but that shield was very impressive.” I turned to Jareth. “Do you think I can construct the same shield?”

“Maybe not the same one since you’ve yet to assimilate Summer magic completely, but you do have all the other elements of magic in your core. The key is visualization. Visualize a shield, something absolutely impenetrable, and say the word solidatur.”

“Solidatur. Got it. I can totally do this.” Fake it till you make it. My life’s motto. I was definitely faking my level of confidence at this point.

“Crysta, powerful faerie. Can block curse. Can break curse,” Graul said.

I gave him an appreciative smile before I focused back on Queen Adris.

“I’m going to throw a simple enchantment that will freeze your limbs, Your Highness. That way, if you aren’t able to construct the shield right away, you’ll simply be unable to move momentarily,” she said.

“Thank you.”

The hag nodded, showing me her sharp, yellow teeth as she gave me what I’m sure she thought was a supportive smile. It looked more creepy than anything else.
