Onika gasped.
This couldn’t mean…
She had to find her mother.
Onika needed to know if her mother knew who the other sister was. King Virid had made it seem as though the other secret was being kept in the dark. She was the heir to the Onyx Kingdom.
The kingdom of Darkness.
Darkness where the secret was surely hidden.
Chapter 26
“I will take you there myself, as I promised.” Drake tossed a bag into the trunk of the car.
“Commander, are you sure this is a good idea?” Alex watched as Emersyn climbed into the passenger side of the car.
“No…it’s a terrible idea. But if I don’t take her, she will go by herself. She needs to see if she can get through to Onika. The entire kingdom is now bathed in darkness. You know as well as I do, that means something bad has happened. Her magic is tied to her emotions just as Emersyn’s magic is tied to hers.”
“Fine. But I am sending a convoy with you. She needs to be guarded.”
“I agree. Alright, we will call you as soon as we arrive.”
Drake slammed the trunk shut and climbed into the driver’s seat. “You ready?”
“Yes… let’s just hurry. I have a bad feeling.”
“Buckle up. And Emersyn,” Drake started the engine, “If anything happens, you do exactly as I say. Ok?”
“Fine. Just hurry already.”
Drake backed the giant SUV up and spun it around. Pulling slowly down the cobble path, he glanced one last time in the rearview mirror. It would be the last time they’d see the sun for a while. Looking ahead, he could see the dark clouds in the distance.
Whatever had Onika upset, had caused the sky to appear dark and angry. Emersyn had called the other kingdoms. Rory agreed to send several men to the Onyx kingdom as well, she felt the more protection everyone had, the better off the kingdoms would be.
Squeezing Emersyn’s hand in his, “You ready?”
Emersyn glanced through the front windshield. Her anxiety spiking as she took in the monstrous wall of clouds. Something was wrong. Very, very wrong.
“Ready as I’ll ever be.”
