Princess Sapphire of the Summer Courts

*********************************************

All faeries brought here in the artic wastelands, who were tasked to find the Garden of the Four Seasons and defend the Autumn Kingdom, stayed close to the ground and hovered just a couple of feet above the snow.

Every Fae in this mission were trained not to make a sound everytime they fluttered their wings so as not to alert their enemies.

But it was already too late, wasn't it?

Afterall, thousands of demons that had entered their boundaries' cracks were clustered in the night sky, monitoring every single movement of the faeries down below as they waited for Ravin and her brother to arrive.

It was also rare to find the Autumn Queen in a passive and quiet role and she couldn 't really blame her.

She was responsible of keeping the majority alive for as long as possible and that was the reason why she wasn't risking the Marquis' ire.

Provocation will lead them seconds away from ambush.

Princess Sapphire grinded her teeth in impatience as she stealthily moved closer to Xerxes.

She had to tell him something important.

She slowly raised her head and took a quick glance at Beelzebub and the white-eyed demons behind him to see if they were keeping tabs on her.

She stiffened when one of the Dukes' head turned slightly in her direction.

Gods and Goddesses!

She had no desire to become their next victim after what they just did to Sylvain!

Princess Sapphire lowered her head and fixed her gaze on the ground.

"Xerxes." Princess Sapphire took Beelzebub and his Legion's idleness as a chance to whisper at Xerxes low enough that he could only hear her. "There are too many demons around here. It isn't possible for the magic garden to show up like before. What Queen Morgan told Ravin and Apollyon earlier was right."

It is believed that the Garden of the Four Seasons wouldn't show up in the presence of demons. Either one or the two of them had hindered the mythical garden's appearance and wasted their time.

Perhaps, this was also the reason Queen Morgan couldn't find the garden for centuries because Kotari, a member of her Cadre, was also present during the search.

All this time, he had made the Autumn Courts look like a fool. The traitor must have had the time of his life, laughing behind the Fae Militia's backs from all the efforts they put in.

"The garden is around here somewhere, but it vanished. I wonder if we could finds a way to enter the place and ask the Archangel for protection." Xerxes whispered back.

"I think that Archangel is already aware of our current situation. If she isn't helping us, it means she is choosing not to." She might not want to put herself in danger and alert her exact location to their enemies as well. "Afterall, it is one Archangel against the four high-ranking demons including their Legion."

Did the Archangels even planned to help them them out of this?

She was still hoping for that one since the Highest Realms hated imbalance of power in the Realms below them.

"I guess all of us will die here then."

Raising her head, she narrowed her eyes at her bestfriend.

Xerxes' statement didn't comfort her at all.

'If Ravin and her brother ended their arguments quickly then they would have the magic fruits in their hands by now and protect themselves from demonic possession. This wouldn't have happened in the first place.' She scowled at the thought. 'The demons wouldn't be even in their vicinity if all of them had eaten a bite out of it because they couldn't stand its magic.'

"Perhaps, we could use this blue feather, somehow. I think there is an important reason why Goddess Hecate sent us here with. your brother. I'll... I'll find a way whatever it may be. I will do everything and force the garden to show up at the right time--"

"--if there ever was a right time." Princess Sapphire finished grudgingly. "If you try to use it right now and they figured out that you have it, they might destroy it and the Garden if it showed up. Do you understand?"

The blue feather was useless as long as these Demonic Legion remained.

If only they could find another way to send them back to Hell---

"The question is if they even recognize its purpose." Xerxes murmured calmly. "Look, Princess, if I don't attempt at least something, this spot will still be my deathbed."

Princess Sapphire sighed.

How can Xerxes talk about their impending doom so lightly?

Nothing will change if we do nothing so let's try anything."

"Alright, so what do you suggest?"

"Let's add fuel to this fire."

"What the hell?"

Was Xerxes out of his mind?

"We had to distract them." He clarified.

She snapped in a whisper-shout. "You had a death wish, werewolf?"

"All I know is that staying as still as the Autumn Queen makes us vulnerable targets. I respected that she wanted us to appear like weak and submissive victims to make these demons feel powerful. They might not attempt to kill more of us but it's not advantageous if we are close too close to the ground."

Princess Sapphire glanced up at the Legion before nodding in agreement.

Xerxes had a point there.

Some of the Fae Militia really had to be high up in the air so it will be harder for them to rain hellfire over our heads.

They didn't have to soar upward like an arrow and make it obvious.

Everyone just had to show some idle movements until they get there.

She doubted that Beelzebub would order his Dukes to kill them for simply moving when they haven't started attacking them yet.

Something in her gut told her that Beelzebub wasn't just waiting for Ravin to arrive before they turn this white desert into blood-red.

She was sure that they were also waiting for someone else.

Perhaps, they were waiting for the Archdemon of Lust?

"We shall initiate our plans once we made everything a little chaotic."
