Chapter 198: [Bonus - ]Group Shenanigans (2)
Blue flames crackled against the small twigs and branches the group had collected throughout the day. The fire itself did not glow as brightly as a normal fire; it was created by none other than fae magic. Fiza’s powers had returned.
It turned out the fairy had been in a weakened state. Whatever the goblins had done to her wore off, and it took all day for her to ’recharge’. Though she helped with the fire and occasionally engaged in conversation with snarky comments, Fiza still remained at the edge of the group circled around the fire.
"I will be the first lookout," Fiza said quietly, standing up after eating some unknown meat Axel had roasted over the fire. Unknown because they did not wish to tell Evanna what it was they were really eating. But the princess guessed when part of this ’meat’ was a little gooey. She put the joint down and decided she was rather full, glancing around at the noise of crickets chirping.
She’d eaten a large bug, right?
Evanna knew she couldn’t be picky in the wilderness, but she’d eaten enough to keep any hunger at bay.
"Do not be offended, little fairy, but there is no way we will allow you to be on guard," Ronan stood then, his hands on his hips. "You could slit our throats while we sleep." His gaze lowered to the throwing stars clasped down the sides of her thighs.
They had rummaged through the goblin’s stuff once it was official that Fiza was coming with them. The group got their weapons back and some food that would last them for a while. It turned out Fiza’s weapon of choice was throwing stars, impressing Evanna further. She had yet to see her use them, though there was no doubt she could aim well.
Fiza rolled her eyes. "I could do that now without blinking. But I see mentioning that will not help my point.." The fairy then pointed at her eyes. "I’m a night fae.. I can see in the dark."
"Does that mean you struggle during the day?" Evanna perked up, crossing her arms over her bent knees and resting her cheeks on her arms. Fiza’s lips twitched in response to the princess’ question.
