Pony and I flew lower, even as my men protested.
Bloss, dont! Just wish that she walk herself to the edge of the palace! It’s a tiny wish! I can do that!Quinn yelled in my head. Declan can get her to jump this time!
But bloodlust rose inside me. It was a beast with glowing red eyes. A beast who growled with the desire to avenge Kylie and all the others. That beast wanted to rip Isla apart.
I landed as Isla struggled to yank her comatose daughter into the stairwell.
“Corinna! Come on!” she grunted, her disguise-spelled voice that of a weak man. It was thin and stringy.
Her daughter was too stunned to move.
Pony walked forward, guarding me. Two more gargoyles landed with thuds beside us and stomped forward. This close, I could aim my peace magic better and I hit Isla in the throat, so she couldn’t run.
Using my power so much left me light-headed. Unlike in the air, the gargoyles had no blood to lend me. The price was all my own. My thighs were soaked in sticky, wet blood as I strode toward the queen of Rasle.
I let my gargoyles surround them.
Isla stared at me with dull defiance.
I waited, letting my power wash away. I didn’t want her to die peacefully. The vengeful part of me wanted her to scream as my gargoyle ripped her apart.
I watched Isla and Corinna until their eyes started to clear.
I ignored Quinn and Blue shouting for me to let the gargoyles kill the pair out so we could leave.
I ignored my knights until Blue mentally shouted,Watch out! The princess is mad!
That’s when Corinna grabbed an arrow from Isla’s quiver and shoved it right into her mother's jugular.
