INSIDE THE TENT
Two more cages came through the flaps. Guinevere glanced at Eron Solandris, waiting for there to be more.
There wasnāt.
"Nothing says strategic genius like doubling down on the thing that isnāt working," she commented.
"These ones are faster, girl," Eron snapped, arms crossed, his tone defensive.
Every pair of eyes darted between her and Eron.
"Impressive. Thank you for sharing your strategy with the tent. They definitely arenāt questioning it now."
Eronās nostrils flared. "You think youāre so clever, girl, donāt you."
"Itās a low bar tonight."
The tent went dead quiet.
Then Kael started laughing. Every head swiveled towards him. "No no, keep going. This is the best hostage situation Iāve ever been in."
"Just open the goddamn cages," Eron said without looking at her or Kael.
The cage doors opened and two Dark Fae launched out of both screaming "VESSEL."
"One thrust and we become gods."
"Me first. Restrain the vessel, brother! My seed will rewrite the prophecy!"
"Wait your turn, brother." The taller one shoved the other behind it.
"Your seed couldnāt rewrite a āKick Meā sign! Iāll pump her full first!"
They stopped mid-pursuit and immediately started beating the shit out of each other.
"ATTACK. THE. GIRL." Eron clapped between each word.
Both fae froze and looked up at him from the floor, mid-grapple.
"He started it!" one hissed.
"I started it because he called dibs! I will fuck her first."
"You couldnāt fuck a donut!"
"Her!" Eron pointed at Guinevere so hard his arm shook. "Sheās right there! Get her."
Both fae looked at Guinevere, then immediately scrambled off the floor, moving towards her.
"Thank fuck," she said. "Wouldnāt want them to get distracted."
She swung her cuffed hands. The chains smacked the shorter one in the face while she kicked the secondās groin. Both folded.
She grabbed a wing, ripping it free, then grabbed the other. "Tell me why youāre here. You get one answer before I take the other."
"Youāre not pure anymore! She must be purified with seed."
She ripped the other wing without hesitation."Iām not your goddamn vessel. Pass that along in your hive mind."
"We donāt hive mind! You wing-ripping contaminated little cunt!"
She stamped down on its back three times. The fae went silent, its body going still under her boot. She wasnāt sure if it was dead or just smart enough to stop talking.
The chain-in-face one sheād hit earlier recovered and charged at her, fangs out. "Move over, brother. I get first load!"
Guinevere looked at her father with an expression that very clearly said, This is fine with you?
Kaelās eyes moved to Guinevere while Eron spoke, the look on his face said, watch this.
