Sheila

Do I drop off all these gifts before I go to the meeting? The rain was now seeping into my clothes through my armor. I groaned inwardly, I hated this weather. I looked up at the sky, I guess the smell of rain was nice. I smiled, looking down at what was my hands.

Maybe these things were magical? They felt powerful, something that I'm not worthy of holding. It's like their power was a song and I could only feel the vibrations not the words. Never the matter.

I flinched as I heard my named called. "Sheila!" Someone shouted from behind me. Though I knew the voice before I turned. There is only one person who would shout my name like that.

I turned on my heels to see Xion hauling ass in my direction. "Xion?" I questioned, placing the shield on my hip.

He grabbed my arm and started running with me behind him. "Wha—," I gasped as I fell into a run.

"You're late for the meeting too, right? He gasped through his breaths. Man, if this has gotten him tired, he needs to start running with me and my troops.

Well there goes putting these objects in my tent. "Yeah, I'm late," I said nonchalantly, my minds were currently on other things.

"We need to hurry! Cebrus is talking to the rest of the Generals about the betrayal of Azai. He needs our backup."

Cebrus needed our help?! "Why are we running at this slow pace then? Let's go! Hurry!" I picked up the speed, dragging the heaving Xion behind me.

The instant I entered the tent that was holding the discussion, I was pulling by the arm into the seat besides Zaivinth.

There was a long table and we sat close to the head. Though unlike normal dining tables, the chairs at each head were removed, taken up my someone standing. This was the norm for our meetings.

I looked at the head and noticed that Cebrus was at one, and his advisor was at the other. Together, or rather, the advisor, will be presenting the troubles that Azai has created for the Mythicals.

Why were you so late? Vince asked, giving me a side glance. Did anything happen? He eyed the shield and sword on the ground next to us. Where did you get those? His eyes widen at them.

One, I don't consider myself late if the meeting hadn't started. He chuckled at that. Two, I stumbled across a trio of odd women who gifted me these, I nudged my head in the direction of the items.

I don't know how I feel about you attracting odd people, Sheila. He gave me a side glance as Xion groaned next to me, urging the meeting to start. Xion, I have came to conclusion is a man child.

It's not like I try. I lightly pinched his arm, teasing him.

Anyways, don't look now, but the General next to us—, I looked around Vince, he saw me do it sighed. It was a fae brunette brute with a large scar running down his cheek. Azai's General.

Why are we sitting next to him? He is going to blow up once he heard his king is being accused of betrayal. I instinctively started to scoot away from him.

Zaivinth wrapped an arm around me pulling be close to him again. In case you forgot, we are the strongest in the room, making us the most capable of containing him. These seatings are pre-arranged for us to sit in them.

I wanted to let out a groan. Containing a furious fae was not something I was planning to do this Sunday afternoon. He smiled at that and looked at me.

Well, at least this Sunday afternoon isn't going to be lousy. He had that right. I sat up straighter in my chair as I heard Cebrus advisor clear his throat.

I looked up and down the table to see who was here. Herus, his advisor, Cebrus, his advisor, Xion, the Fae, the Dwarven representative, I haven't gotten that close to him, Zaivinth, and myself. All nine of us were the most important people on the field. Surrounding the tent would be at least twenty of the best men in our army guarding us.

"Some know what we will be discussing today," the advisor started looking at Xion, Zaivinth, and myself. I flinched at the attention but slowly relaxed as Zaivinth put a hand on my thy. No matter how many meetings I've been to, those butterflies of not belonging still linger in the pit of my stomach.

"There is no sugar-coating this," okay so the advisor is going to just come out and say it. I placed my feet flat on the ground, ready to jump onto the fae. "Azai, the faerie King has betrayed us."

This hurt deeply, we were supposed to have fae reinforcements arrive in a week, though to the change in events, we knew that wouldn't be happening. We would need to seek out more mythical creatures to aid us in our fight against everything horrid in this world. This delayed the war and the battle we were supposed to have next week. It was probably Azai's plot for us to go into battle thinking that reinforcements were on their way.

Sneaky bastard.

The fae shot out of his seat, "lies! Lies! My king shouldn't bear the title of traitor!" He drew his sword. Though before he could take a swing, my mate had promptly cut his head clean off.

My mate chuckled, the head in his hands, blood dripping onto the table. "Anyone else wants to side with the fae?" My mate looked at everyone. No one said a single word. Until...

"Gods, brother, hold the head over the floor, you are getting blood all over the table!" Xion scolded standing and reached over me to push Vince's arm away from the table.

I sat there in shock as I looked at my mate next to me. I wasn't shocked at what he did. I was shocked at how fast he did it. I didn't even have time to stand and he had the faes head in his hands.

"All in favor of sending the Demecus' head back to the fae kingdom as a warning." Zaivinth said raising his hand as a vote. Everyone's hands shot up, and his smile grew. "Perfect, now we need a counter army to crush the fae's palace and kill Maeve while it is unguarded by men." All of their men should be with Kolgrim's twin? So it should be easy.

"I will send my cousin, King of the Minotaurs, his army is strong and will be pairs with fairies, they should crush them in days." Herus said standing up.

The different between Faeries and fairies are great. Faeries have human bodies and can transforms into the creature that they are born with. Fairies can preform magic, any kind they want, though they are the size of ones palm and are very fragile.

"Send your representative to speak to your cousin," I said as my mate sat next to me the head still in his other hand. "We will send two of our men to guard him." Maybe I should go?

No.

No it is.

Herus bowed his head gracefully, "thank you, we would greatly appreciate that." He said sitting, I just nodded my head respectfully to him.

"Well!" Xion clapped his hands together, "now that, that's," he looked to the faes head. "Over, let's go get some food. Murder has gotten me hungry."

"While you all do that, I'll tell the men what's going on," I stood and started walking to the tent flap.
