SPELLBOUND

After some discussion with the King and Queen of the Under Lands, Evie finally led the light faes to a place where King Belial had assigned and granted permission for them occupy while they were here.

A while ago, as soon as the light faes, who were led by Zirrus saw Evie, all of them nearly sagged to the ground with utter relief. Even though Zanya had told them over and over again that the queen was totally fine, there was no way the light faes would feel any better knowing that their queen was trapped within the dark fae realm. This was the realm of their long mortal enemy.

Though they all knew that time has changed everything now, the light faes just could not get rid of their long seated fears and trust issues related to the dark faes. Not until they saw their queen with their own two eyes safe and sound that they were finally convinced of what Zanya had told them.

They all know that their queen was their last ray of hope. She was the destined saviour of their race. Their race was once almost fully eradicated in the past… if something ever happened to their queen… the light faes could not even start to imagine what will happen to them and their land. The depths of their despair and destruction of their race would be unmitigated.

So that was why it was such a great relief to them all, seeing that not only was she safe and sound, but they all could clearly sense that her light magic had grown to be so much stronger than the last time they had seen her. It was so incredible that they could even literally feel the warm aura of her light magic brushing out from her without her even doing anything. This was their queen!!

What had happened? Had their queen been busy strengthening herself all this time while she was stuck here this dark realm? Still… that was an unreal amount of magic growth!

"I want all of you to rest for tonight," Evie addressed everyone, "tomorrow, I will need to speak to everyone again once everyone is here and accounted for."

The light faes nodded at her command. "Yes, Your Majesty." They said in unison and Evie finally left them.

"We will be escorting you back to the palace, Your Majesty," Zolan told her, "Leon and the others might still take a long while to arrive here, so you should go and rest. We'll come to inform you once the rest of them arrive."

Evie turned to face Zolan. "Alright, you guys should go and get some rest too. I want you all to be able to stay alert and take all the rest needed while everything is still alright." She glanced at Levy next and spoke pointedly. "So… refrain from running off somewhere and staying up all night, alright?"

Levy smiled awkwardly as he nodded at her like a good little boy. "Yes, my Queen. No going out tonight."

Once Evie entered the palace, Zolan, Levy and Luc left to return to their barracks. She immediately rushed to the hall leading towards the library, wondering why Gav did not come find her according to what he had promised earlier. She could not help but feel a little worried now. Though she knew that there was almost no risk in him carrying out that spell, she still could not stop that little bit of fear from sprouting in her heart.

When she met her people and found out that Zanya and the others were still by the portals, Evie had wanted to go there herself to meet them. But she hesitated because she was still waiting for Gav to come find her.

She was worried on why he was taking so long. He had told her that the casting of the spell would not take that long. So why the hold up? She could not stop wondering if the spell was taking that long to perform or there was something bad that had happened to him.

And thus, she decided to send Samuel, Leon and Reed to meet up with Zanya and the rest of them. King Belial and Queen Beatrice also agreed with her decision that there was no need for her to personally go to the portal herself.

Two ancient dark faes who were standing outside the door leading to the forbidden library, looked at Evie as she approached them hurriedly. They have an air about them that was quite identical to Claudius that helped Evie identify and sense that these two were ancients as well. They stood at the doors like the guardians to the library.

"I am here to look for my husband, Prince Gavrael." She told them and the guardians looked at each other before giving her respectful bow.

"His Highness Gavrael had already left quite a while ago, Queen Evielyn." One of them informed her respectfully, causing Evie to frown. What? He had already left? And much earlier too?

"I overheard him saying that he was feeling sleepy…" the other one added but trailed off at the look on Evie's face.

Speechless, Evie sighed and gave them a grateful smile. "Thank you, elders." she expressed her gratitude to them.

"Our pleasure, Queen." They responded in kind and Evie rushed off and headed back to their room.

Once she opened the door and saw her husband already lying on the bed and seemingly in a deep slumber, she leaned against the door and sighed again, this time in relief and laughing quietly at the same. She really wanted to punish this man now! How dare he make her worry so much while he was here taking such a nice and comfortable nap!

She walked over to him and stood next to the bed with her arms crossed over her breast, planning to act very mad at him.. However, when he did not move to wake up and just continued sleeping so peacefully, Evie found herself sitting at the edge of the bed and watching his tranquil look with a soft smile on her face.
