I nod, “Maybe, although they have been going into the villages and taking people to work in the castle, none of them were willing to go there. They were tortured and killed when the princes got bored.”

“What the fuck,” Reaper growls.

“They’re sadistic fuckers,” I hiss in reply.

Zev shakes his head, “I didn’t see this.”

“What?” I ask because he looks particularly confused.

“I saw us having to come back with armies in tow in order to take back the realm from the princes; I saw us fight; I didn’t see Farren take them out by herself,” Zev explains.

“Er, sorry?” I reply, slightly unsure but feeling like maybe it's something that I should apologise for.

He smiles, and shakes his head, “It’s nothing to apologise for.”

“What does it mean if you didn’t even see it,” Kill asks curiously.

Zev’s eyebrows dip in confusion, “It means that Farren has done something extraordinary. She’s changed Fate, and I have no idea how she’s done it.”

The guys all turn to look at me with varying looks of shock.

“Wait, I changed fate?” I ask, needing to clarify; when Zev nods in confirmation, I add, “Fuck, I have no idea how I did that. Is it going to have any negative consequences?”

“I don’t know. I guess it’s just a case of waiting to find out,” he replies, which is not reassuring in the slightest.

“Didn’t you say that you couldn’t see us? I know that you’ve been able to see a few things, but is there a chance that you just didn’t see this outcome?” Mayhem asks. I missed the way that his brain reaches conclusions that the rest of us haven’t thought about.

“Yeah, that’s true, but I was getting blank spots where I knew that there was something that I was not seeing. I didn’t have that this time,” Zev replies thoughtfully.

“Could you have just missed it because of how much you were worrying about Farren?” H asks.

“I suppose that it’s a possibility.” He replies, not sounding convinced.

“So, we need to keep an eye on things. You need to keep an eye on your visions, and hopefully, it’s nothing that we need to worry about.” Storm suggests.

“Hopefully,” Zev replies. Clearly wanting to change the subject he looks at me, “What else happened?”

“Oh right, yeah, so I was following the magic to get to Hades’ vault,” I start to explain and get interrupted.

“We can head back and get the key fragment,” Hades says with a smile, automatically assuming that I couldn’t get the key, which, considering it was guarded by some very powerful spells, I don’t blame him.

“No need,” I say as I open the Void pocket and pull out the key fragment. “I got it.”

“Was it not in the vault?” H asks.

“It was,” I reply and then add, “Oh, and before I forget or get distracted because everything is being told in the wrong order, I picked up these on the way out; I thought you might want them since I saw you fighting with them.”

“Saw me, what?” Grey asks.

I stand up and reach into the Void, grabbing the hilt of one of the swords and dragging it out. They’re so fucking heavy.

Grey’s jaw drops, along with H’s, and I sigh, “A little help, please? These things are fucking heavy.”

Grey doesn’t say anything as he jumps up, takes the handle of the sword I have in my hand, and pulls it out with an ease that makes me envious as he reaches back into the Void and pulls the second one out, too.

His smile is broad as he mutters, “Hello, old friends; I did wonder what had happened to you. I should’ve known that you would’ve made your way back to the vault.”

“They’re sentient?” Mayhem questions.
