“Oh, I have a joke. What do you call a fairy that doesnt like to shower? Stinkerbell!” Logan started laughing and looked over at us. “Get it?!”
“You are so lame.” Odell snorted as she walked ahead.
“Well, I actually have heard there is a fairy princess who knows quite a few dad jokes…” Logan said and I tilted my head to look at him. “It is Ra-Pun-Zel.” He began to snicker as we all groaned.
“Wow, that is so bad,” Gia said as she looked over at Conner.
“Sorry about him. We learn to put up with it.” Conner leaned closer to Gia and then began to whisper something in her ear.
“Whatever have your secrets. Im thirsty… anyone have any Sprite to drink?” Logan grinned as we all began to walk faster to get away from him. “Come on now! Not even a smirk? That was a good one.”
“You really should have more respect for the fairies of the world,” Sam said as he walked beside us. “After all… it is because of the fairies that the packs will receive a level of protection from the nembrant glass.”
“I didnt mean any disrespect, but I mean… lets face it. When it comes to brute strength—“
“A fairy guardian can take out multiple lycans. Care to try again?” Sam said with a slight smirk.
“A guardian… wait a minute… are those bears? I remember hearing guardians were bears.” Logan raised his brows as he looked over at Sam.
“Once they become a guardian, they are instilled with fairy magic. Making them part of the fairy world. A guardian isnt a guardian just because it is a bear. That power is fairy magic. A magic that… it is its own life. It decides on its own how much power a guardian gets.” Sam said as he looked at me.
“The magic decides?” Logan looked at Sion and raised his brows.
“It is complex…” Sam shrugged as he looked ahead. A small smile reached his lips as we approached the river. “Perfect. They got my message.” I quickly looked forward to see what he was looking at. Near the river was a colossal black horse and next to it was a gray seal with dark eyes. A seal? What was a seal doing near the river?
“Now these fairies you can see.” Gia laughed as she nudged Conner with her shoulder. “My cousin is part selkie too, his name is Kurt. I cant wait for you to meet him. He is Uncle Sams son and can shift from a wolf to a seal. Honestly, he is amazing.” I turned and looked back at the seal. So that wasnt just a seal, it was a selkie. So that would mean that the horse is a…
I watched as the horse transformed into a woman with raven black hair. Her arms were folded, and she looked agitated.
“I met that one before… she is the one who pulled me from the river. Epona, I think.” Sion muttered to me.
“This is ridiculous. I cant believe I am being subjected to this. All because Rowan ordered it.” The woman huffed as she stared at Sam. “I require bloodshed and death.”
“Well, we are heading off to battle if you want to join us,” Sam said, and I watched as the womans eyes perked up.
“A battle? Im listening.” Epona said with new vitality in her eyes.
“We are—” Sam began to say as the woman waved him off.
“Actually, I dont care. Lets just do what needs done so I can leave.” The womans dark eyes moved to me and then rested on Sion. I watched as she grimaced and then she turned to the side and dry heaved. “Oh gosh… bad memories. Eeewww I can taste it again…damn mutt.” She muttered as Sion shook his head.
“So why are they here?” Odell asked, looking at the dramatic kelpie.
“To give us a land bridge for crossing the river.” Sams voice was curt and precise. “With an army this size, swimming across is out of the question.”
“So, you are familiar with the landscape?” Logan asked.
“Of course. I am the beta of the Alpha King. It is my job to know the landscape surrounding the packs.” Sam then walked towards the seal, who transformed as soon as he got close. A woman with brown hair and blue eyes stood in front of him.
“Mora.” Sam said, nodding his head politely.
“How is Renee?” The woman asked.
“She is well. We are planning a visit to Elysium soon so we can meet up with your sister, Merida.” Sam spoke to the woman, and they seemed close. It was obvious he knew her well.
“That is wonderful. I will plan to bring the family and visit also. You have heard that the powers are shifting to the new fairy queen, right? Her majesty Queen Lilly is stepping aside, and her daughter will be ruling in her place. The rumor is the queen has depleted much of her fairy magic to fight against the nembrant glass.” The woman said and her blue eyes began to water.
“Yes, I was informed of this news. It is for the best. And Rhea will be a wonderful queen. Not to mention she has a deity by her side—” Sam was saying before Logan interrupted him.
“Timeout! Timeout! Timeout!” Logan said, holding his hands up in a T formation. “I dont get it. A seal shifter is a fairy. A horse shifter is a fairy, and some bear shifters are fairies—“
“So are some werewolf shifters,” Gia said with a smirk, and Logan rubbed his temples.
“Is it just me… or is anyone seeing the bigger picture here?”
We all stared at him blankly as he gave us an exasperated expression.
“The fairies are taking over the world. Soon everyone will be part fairy. It is like one big conspiracy. You think Oh look at the sweet fairies. And then BAM! World domination.”
“Okay… who gave Logan coffee?” Conner said in a slightly annoyed tone. My lips twitched up and I found a smile making itself to my face. It was the first time today that my worries vanished. In his own dorky way, Logan was helping me calm down.
“All this time I always thought it was an exaggeration that wolves were brain dead. Yet, Pluto here proves that some stories hold truth.” Epona said as she waved her hand towards Logan.
“Who put your saddle on too tight?” Logan snickered at his own joke. I guess he found himself clever.
“Oh… such a clever puppy. Its a shame all those fleas and ticks have drained your commonsense… oops… you were actually born that way, huh?” Eponas lips curled upwards as Logan fixated his gaze on her.
“What did the horse say when she fell? Ive fallen and I cant giddy up!” Logan chuckled and I could see Eponas eye twitching.
