Feleyn’s Hope II

"I need an army, a strong one." Helena finally broke the silence as they wandered around the waterfall.

"So, you do want to join the war." Grimmore jerked his chin. "Any particular reason?"

"I can't let Illuke win this war, if he wins, there is no hell hole in this land that can contain him, and his army will be too strong by then." If he could conquer this island, her Fae... No, she would not allow that to happen. "Whatever game that he is playing now is absurd, the worst part is that we don't even know why he declared the war, the timing is..." She halted and sent him a wary glance, something was wrong.

Before she could tell him, the waterfall was trembling by the roar. Something was coming, something big, and many, she realized. Grimmore just gave her a nodded then vanished into nothing.

The queen then cut her wrist, the same way Evan did.

"Fahlyn."

As she now had pointed ears and canines, her robes was changed into a silver vest and pants strapped with a golden carved rapier, revealing her charming white-skinned forearms. Then she bolted out running with graciousness, commander alike.

———

"What happened?" Evan snapped to the king.

"We got hit by something big and multiple, the shield won't last long, all three of you, dress up." The king commanded. The warriors just nodded slightly as they put their clothes on.

"Dragons, they are dragons, I can smell them." Evan held his gaze toward the shield that was pounding with fire breath. "Damn, Illuke. What did you offer them." More like a self-talked as they were running to the coast.

A bell in the castle were rung to inform a threat.

"Baron, you come with me, and you two, find your queen and help her." Evan shouted without looking back as they were all running like a wind.

"How do we kill them?" Baron said from behind.

"Gut them inside out."

———

The last time she had shifted was hundreds years ago, she couldn't last in this form more than an hour, and she knew it.

Blood was scattered everywhere as she thrusted the rapier in front of here, sending blue waves after waves, those blue waves are the Fae's gift, the gift from Helena's mother, the first Fae queen.

Dragons were killed like they were just flies, some were decapitated by the waves, some exploded by their own fire. Something was not right, she could sense it.

But she couldn't let the thought take over her, so she killed and killed and killed...

Blood spattered all over her elegant face and her whole body, she couldn't see clearly as someone stopped behind her. Something shining in his hand.

But she couldn't notice it until Seth shouted from behind, "Majesty, behind you!"
