Fairy Guardian - Hal Ch26

Sitting in now my boardroom. Having thoughts while people around me argued. Just becoming King, taking on all that the title entails, is proving to be much harder than anticipated. Especially if you are trying to start a new fairy realm with new rules and outlooks. Being second in command to my father seemed like a walk in the park compared to now. As they royal houses were fighting around me on why going to war with the Shadow King is inevitable.  It has to be done, to show the realm who really is in charge. 

The nice part of becoming the ultimate power is having access to a beautiful human woman that changed my life. Gone was the dictator and now becoming a negotiator.  Interesting her insights into my enemy. It did open my eyes that there is more going on in fairy realm that I was not aware of. 

Turning over to Talia, "Go get Damien sister and bring her here." In a flash of light, she was gone. Flashing is reserved for only those fairies that have the powerful light magic within them. A fairy with lesser magic could not even attempt to do such a feat. 

"Vian, go get father and the Queen, they will have to decide what is to be done about Michael. Going into the Shadow King's lands without invitation just landed us in war." Vian flashing away. Seeing how much power my family has, it never even occurred to me until Car came into our world. I never saw anything before her. Almost like I was blind this world that is my own. Smile enters my face, reaching out in my mind to her. Feeling her fear. Rise to my feet. My violet power is pulsing the room.

The royal families react to my fear and stand with their weapons ready. Elite guard go to surround me. We see a flash and Michael arrives. A sword as his throat by Sven in a blink of an eye. Then next pops, Carson lying on the floor with only a T-shirt on. My T-shirt.

"Hello Beautiful!" Looks up at me and the most beautiful smiles reaches across her face. She jumps up and runs to be wrapping her legs around me. Her body is shaking. Close my eyes to smell her. She smells of roses and the outdoors. Open my eyes to see the families looking at me, then at my almost naked soon-to-be wife. Immediately a violet robe surrounds her body. 

Carson does not even move when the robe goes around her frame, almost like if she releases me, I will disappear. Remembering the first time I seen her, going into the twin's workshop. I have never seen someone radiate such beauty and light. Could not resist to get close to her, which knowing now sealed my fate. Once I smelled her and held her against me, resistance was out of the question.

"Car, you're going to have to let me go. All these fairies would like to meet the future Queen," trying to say it in a voice to sooth her and not to frighten her. She tries to burrow closer to me, not wanting the outside world to intrude. Then she looks up at me with her crystal blue eyes and looks around the room and then at everyone there. Whispering under her breath, "Hal, am I in the room with everyone that is currently leading the realm with only your T-shirt and now your royal robe? Please say we are just in a dream together."

Chuckling and setting her down on her feet, putting my finger under her chin, "A Queen can wear or do anything she wants, Care Bear." Groaning with Regina aka the Queen's nickname for her. She turns to the group, "Hi, I am Carson." Immediately all bow to her that are in the room. Red flames in her neck and goes up to her face. Putting my arm to lead her to the chair at the table reserved for her. 

"How about you take a seat, while I figure out what happened to you?" Gives me a smile in thanks to take the attention off her. Now turning to my brother who once again has yellow blood on his neck. "Sven, let me go." The guard releases him but stands close enough to kill him if necessary. Hopefully I don't have to lose a brother today. 

"Michael. Brother. I am very grateful that my woman is here with me now. But Michael by going into the Shadow King's lands without an invitation means we are now at war. We broke the treaty and he will have the full authority to come against us. What do you, have to say for yourself." Giving him compassion, some understanding, gratitude, but the stupidity of his actions could cost us fairies lives.

Michael still bowed on his knees, sat back on his heels of his feet, and looks directly at me, "King. Brother. My actions as of late have been unworthy of my title and who I am as a fairy. I make no excuses for myself other than trying to save the sister that saved me." Pauses to measure his words. Tries to stand me sword once again at this throat. Hands raised sits back on his heels.

Brings his hands back down on his knees, "I went to the Shadow's King home to grab Anna and bring her back here." Scrunching his face with disgust, clenching his fists and the white appeared on them from lack of circulation, "But turns out our dear sister is a regular visitor to his house." Put his head in his hands, "I was a fool, idiot, and whatever happens now at least I saved Carson. She did not deserve to die at our sister's hands."

Our sister tried to kill my Queen, "Are you telling me Anna tried to kill Carson? Facts Michael. Now!" Leaving no room for missing details. Looks up at me and defeat was the only look he gave me but continued, "I flashed to the castle and found her. She was trying to get the Shadow King in bed." Clearing having a hard time telling me the rest but my look did not give him any leeway. 

"He brushed her off and then she left down a hallway. I decided to follow her. She was outside a room, and people were talking inside the room. Then I heard Carson's voice speaking. Anna rushed in the room, but I saw her take a blade out of her pocket," pleading entered into his eyes. "When I saw people flashed to hallway, I did not even think. Grabbed Carson. Brought her right to you."

Head back in his hands waiting for me to give my sentence. Looking back at Carson, love shone in her eyes. Knowing without his actions we may have lost each other. Making a decision, turning to Michael. "You will personally go back to the Shadows King castle. Explain your actions in saving Carson. Then invite him her for negotiation for his sisters' immediate release. Finally tell him I would very much like Anna back as well." Anna's neck in my hands and squeezing came to mind.

He gets ups, and wave my hands with violet flame at him, full military elite garb is now on his frame, 'And brother, you are now representing my realm. Do me proud Michael. You have this chance to prove yourself to me." 

Stands taller and gives me a salute. Flashes away. 

Talia appears in another flash with a tiny woman.  She had glasses on, a huge sweater that said, 'Bookworm,' with leggings. Who did my sister bring to me? I could tell my sister held her protective stance and weapons ready. What hold does this little thing have on my badass sister?

"Hi! I am Netta" with a little wave her to the room. Her voice spoke with childlike innocence. My father would have squashed her like a bug. Memory of him killing that innocent pixie so long ago. Netta's radiance was the sweetest thing with her tiny dimples. Clearly my sister was charmed. 

"I am Damien's sister."
