Without thinking twice, Cadegan grabbed his sword from Josette’s hip and prepared to fight them to the bitter end of his strength. Even though she was in his body, he pulled her behind him as the dragons and gargoyles descended to attack them.

The moment he did, a strange red haze rose up from the ground and formed a dome over their small group. A dome that Morgen’s soldiers slammed into, and recoiled off. If not for the fact that this could be an even bigger threat to them, it’d be comical.

Scowling, Cadegan looked at his brother. “That you, with a shield?”

Leucious shook his head. “Definitely not me.” He glanced to the Adar Llwch Gwin. “Frick? Frack? Can you explain?”

Slack-jawed, they shook their heads in unison.

Illarion pulled back to help shield Josette and Cadegan. It feels fey, but not as dark as Morgen’s magick.

No sooner had he pushed that thought to their heads than the ground below their feet opened up and swallowed them.

Cursing, Cadegan wrapped himself around Josette to cushion her fall as they tumbled into a deep, dark cavern. For a minute, he feared it to be bottomless.

Until he struck a hard, black floor. Though it was dark, the walls around them glistened with glowing vines.

Josette landed on top of him.

He let out a harsh groan. “I’m the one what needs to lose weight, me lady. Oof! I weigh a mighty ton. How do you stand me weight atop of you?”

Her face turned red before she shifted to speak in his ear. “I love your weight on me. But not like this.”

He kissed her gently before he let her go to see what new dangers lurked for them.

Josette slid from his body. He pushed himself to his feet while the others followed suit.

“Well, well, what have we here?” a woman asked from inside the dark.

Retrieving his sword, he took Josette’s hand to hold her near him.

“Why have you trespassed upon my lands?” There was a shrill note to the woman’s irritated tone.

“We meant no disrespect.” Leucious spoke up first.

“Actions are far more important to me than words that profess intent, as those actions, more oft than not, betray your real heart. Case in point…” A red mist appeared before Cadegan and Josette. “You two protect each other, without a single word. Does this mean that you don’t care for one another?”

When Josette started to speak, Cadegan squeezed her hand to warn her not to. At least not until they knew more about what they were facing.

The mist went to Leucious. “Who do you protect?”

“None of your business.”

The mist solidified into the body of a beautiful woman. With long black hair, she had an oval face and large, dark eyes. “You like your words, don’t you?”

“They’ve been known to serve me well.”

She scoffed at Leucious before she came over to Cadegan and Jo. A slow smile curved her lips as she danced her gaze over Cadegan’s handsome body. Until she cocked her head and studied their locked hands. “Now you, you must have significant value for your lady to covet and protect you so.
