"Now, everyone knows about the baby and many will covet the secret of their blood." Tyris said. "One of us will always stay with you and make sure that nothing happens."

"Thank the gods I dodged a meteor on that one." The Mad Queen sat on her throne covered in a cold sweat. _{ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com}

The day had been terrible for her and her invasion plan.

First, the fortress city of Trephius had fallen in a rain of fire without Thrud even understanding what had just happened, and then Leegaain's firstborn, Gentor the Golden Dragon, had joined the Council's forces.

Together, they had pushed her troops back for kilometers before her generals had managed to stop the enemy's advance.

She firmly believed that things couldn't get any worse but she was wrong. When she heard what had happened in Verendi and to the envoys that its Council had sent to capture Kamila, she felt like the luckiest woman alive.

"What do you mean?" Jormun, her companion, asked.

"I don't like how things have turned since Verhen returned." She pointed at the map at the center of the room, where the status of the War of the Griffons was displayed in real-time.

"His Demons make for a small but powerful army of Awakened. My forces have been pushed back time and time again by him and this Vastor, putting a stop to the momentum of my invasion.

"To make matters worse, ever since those usurpers made him a Magus, most of the nobles who had contacted me in order to switch sides changed their mind."

"So what?" The Emerald Dragon shrugged.

"I chose to attack right after the famine because this way the food reserves would determine the victor without a bloody and dragged-out fight. When winter arrives, whoever has the most supplies will win."

"Well, guess what? Winter is approaching and I have yet to gain the upper hand. My plan was to get rid of Verhen and Vastor by attacking them where it hurts the most. Their hearts." Thrud released a pulse of Spirit Magic that toppled two wooden figures representing her nemeses.

"You mean their families?" Jormun felt his stomach churn.

He had felt the fury of his father coursing through the inner fires of Mogar that had made Garlen tremble. He had witnessed the storm conjured by Tyris' wrath darken the skies and follow her on her way to Verendi.

She had robbed even the stars of their light to empower her abilities while on the turf of another Guardian. Yet it was Salaark's rage that had upturned the heavens, replacing the sun with a mass of living darkness.

"Exactly. They are too powerful and if there was any way to assassinate them, I would've already tried that. The only option I have left is to strike at those close to them and force them to submit." Thrud nodded.

"How can you even think that?" Jormun said in outrage. "Lith is my little brother! He's the one who freed me from the Golden Griffon. Without him, we would have never met and this war wouldn't have even started."

"He unwittingly freed you." Thrud shook her head, making her long ashen blond hair sparkle like a waterfall under the light. "There was no act of kindness, simply an opportunity that you exploited.
