Archdemon Empress Luna
******************************
Luna nodded in agreement. "He must be powerful if he was a Fae, husband. It's impossible for a simple aristocrat to maintain his mask for a few minutes enough to fool an Archdemon."
"What? else did he tell you?" Hands gripping her arms, Apollyon prompted her further.
From the way Apollyon stared at her, he appeared as if he was about to kill someone if Luna told him something about the doppelganger that might set him off.
"He told me that he picked the wrong target." Luna shook Apollyon's grip on her arm so that she could show him the size of the stone with her hand. Caving in, he released her. "Then, he dropped this red stone that was the half the size of a fist. I swear it reflected my image like a mirror before it exploded and caught fire."
As Apollyon rubbed his chin in contemplation, Luna could almost imagine the cog and wheels whirring in her husband's mind as he connected the dots and made it made sense.
Her husband snapped a finger in his face as if he had arrived at the most brilliant conclusion. "The turrets, Luna! That Fae must have been the one to set the Castle on fire and burned the guards alive."
"Turrets? Oh my goddess, Apollyon!" Luna exclaimed in a high-pitched voice. Apollyon's gesture was too contagious, and she didn't notice that she had unconsciously snapped her fingers until she caught herself.
She locked her fingers together and settled her hands in front of her.
"You are right.? I remember Queen Titania and King Oberon had told us about that strange phenomenon." She whispered. "Everyone can see the fires from below. But if someone climbed the stairs to reach it, the Faerie sentinels stationed at night to catch the arsonist was already a mass of charred toast. The culprit remained free but no one was fast enough to catch this prankster."
"King Oberon even sacrificed the comfort of his bedchamber and stayed the night in the nearest room so that he could reach the turret easily the moment someone set it on fire." He added. "Nobody in the Summer Castle bore witness except you."
"See?" Apollyon gave her a half-shrug in a 'Who cares?' gesture. "I will screw them over if they pin this down on you when you were the only witness. They can blame you all they want." Apollyon smiled a sinister smile. "But over my dead body."
The orange flames glowing red and yellow hues were hot and violent, following their movements and torching the Summer Faeries' insides without a care. Some of the Summer Fae's magnificent wings were caught, and they fell backward, landing on the floor from the force of the explosion.
Their limbs scrambled to put out the flame licking their precious wings as tendrils of dark smoke floated towards the ceiling.
The Summer Monarchs and the rest of the Summer Faeries who were uninjured from the explosion, formed a circle around the eternal fire as all of them raised their hands towards the ceiling to call on dark gray clouds, bringing forth a strong rainfall just like what Apollyon had done to extinguish the large bonfires during the chaos at Ostara.
Luna concluded that the ability to call rainclouds fell on the Summer? Fairies' expertise due to the scorching heat from the sun in this entire region.
The Summer Realm needed a heavy downpour once in a while to wet the soil for the flowers and vegetation's new growth as their source of food.
After a few minutes of loud singing and murmured incantations, rain from the condensed nimbus clouds forming above them began to fall unto the eternal fire.
But, nothing happened.
Luna doubted they could still save the nobles who were caught in those gigantic flames.
"The fire was too strong that it couldn't be put out by water alone. It's not just a simple fire spell through Fae Magic. It came from someone who can wield a stronger magic close to or greater than the Summer Monarchs." Apollyon remarked thoughtfully as both of them turned to look at the blazing fire at the farthest side of the Great Hall where they can safely observe the ensuing chaos. "How can someone keep a glamour for a long period of time in a group of powerful aristocrats?"
"Were you able to see right through the impostor, husband?" Luna asked. "You are not just the Vampire King. I know you are a powerful Fae magician because you have the blood of the Summer Monarchs."
"I saw him myself. You were right. We look the same, and his glamour did work on me." Anger radiated outward Apollyon-like waves, similar to the heat radiating outward from the destruction of the terrible mindless fire who had no conscience and pity as it burned whatever was blocking them.? "I know you are telling the truth when you told me he used me as glamour to get closer to you, and you embraced him back to which I am angry about.
"Now,that I remember when I saw you with him, it got me all worked up." He ran a frustrated hand through his hair which brought Luna's attention to his scowl. "Don't tell me you can't tell the difference from that dummy while I stood on the right side of the aisle just across you?"
Luna's hackles rose at the sudden accusation. "I clung to him because I was quick to figure out he wasn't you when our eyes met! The bastard thought that I couldn't find you in such a crowded room while we are separated. I can't let him escape for pulling such a stupid stunt." She matched her explanation with a scowl.? "Are you seriously picking a fight with me right now?"
"We will discuss about this later." Apollyon said, his voice low and hushed as his Prussian Blue eyes smoldered when he scanned her from head to toe, drinking every detail of her. "I got sexually excited the whole afternoon for nothing. Our game is canceled. Temporarily."
