Chapter 98: The Fae Court’s Interest
Prince Ash POV
The portal ripped open beneath my feet without notice, and I fell through three different dimensions before crashing into a tree at Silver Peak. Pain shot through my shoulder as bark scraped my skin, but I rolled to my feet anyway. Being a Fae prince meant I had to look graceful even when reality was actually falling apart.
"Ash!" my sister Willow called out as she fell through the portal after me. "The barriers are collapsing faster than we thought!"
More Fae warriors spilled through the dimensional tear, their wings fluttering furiously as they tried to stay airborne. I could see the fear in their eyes - something that rarely happened to my people. We Fae were supposed to be above mortal worries like fear.
But the Void Walkers weren’t a mortal worry. They were everyone’s fear.
"Status report," I ordered, helping Willow stand up.
"Seven more reality tears opened in the past hour," she said excitedly. "The Void Walkers are growing faster than we calculated. If we don’t stop them here, they’ll reach the Fae realm within days."
I nodded grimly. That’s why the High Court had sent me - their youngest prince, but also their best hunter. If anyone could find the source of this chaos, it would be me.
The sounds of fighting echoed through the forest. I could hear vampires hissing, werewolves howling, and witches screaming spells. The supernatural world was tearing itself apart while the real enemy got stronger.
"There," I said, pointing toward a huge crack in the ground where silver light poured out like liquid starlight. "That’s where they’re coming from."
We ran toward the open, and I nearly stopped in shock at what I saw. Every magical species I’d ever heard of was here, fighting each other instead of the dark creatures climbing out of the reality tear. Vampires fought witches while stone giants threw rocks at flying Fae. It was complete chaos.
