Thank you for your reviews they mean a lot to me! Almost at 200 and I still cheese every time I read one! This is part one of the battle. Once you get to the end you'll know what I mean. Next chapter is where Felipe's mystery woman will be revealed. I know I know I said it would be in this one but I got caught up in the battle. : ) lmao. Enjoy!

Previously:

"Taking what is mine!" that's when I knew what she planned. That gleam in her eyes. She was going to claim the Dae throne!

Chapter 25: Only by the new shall the old be saved

EPOV:

"You mean to be Queen of both realms?" the AP asked one eyebrow raised. Sookie laughed.

"By god's no, But I think his seven wives have been dying to get a chance to take over." Rayleen laughed and clapped her hands.

"You know they all will jump at that. They are now but slaves to a Master with no honor, they hate him just about as much as we do." That was true. I have seen horrible masters and he rates at the top of the list.

"Killing him will be difficult, but it is doable. It just has to be done in the right way." She pulls the book out from under her arm and threw it on the table

"But that right there is how I am going to do it. But it won't get done tonight. I need to rest I didn't get enough sleep before probably just about an hour so now I am going to go in and sleep like the dead!" she turned and laughed and went into her make shift room to get some much needed rest. I could tell through our bond she needed it badly. I nodded to my maker and child then to the others and left to go put her to bed. As I came around the corner and looked at her, she was sitting in the middle of the bed running her fingers absently over her locket. She felt me but didn't look up when she spoke.

"I have named an heir to my throne just in case this doesn't pan out. I need you to promise me you will do whatever there is to be done to protect her. If I do not survive she will need you to teach her to be a good queen. Can you promise me that please?" I do not like hearing her plan her death. There is no way she will be taken from me. But for her peace of mind I will grant her anything she wished. No matter how silly I thought it was.

"Of course dear one, who have you named?" Again she was pensive

"I cannot tell you now but it is in my secret place the one where no one would thing to look." She slid her locket from around her neck and placed it around mine, and kissed me lightly. I laid her down on the bed and kissed her forehead and stroked down her arm. I put her head on my chest and stayed there until her breathing evened out. I then got up to go in search of my maker. I needed to know the odds of her actually being able to succeed in this. It's not that I doubted her but I still needed some assurance. She is my bonded; I am supposed to protect her. And if that fucking day thinks he is going to kill her off then he will meet the end of my blade. He took Abigail's love he will never take what is MINE! I find him outside looking from the moon to his skin and back. All I get is wonder from our bond.

"What is troubling you so my child?" he says to me without even looking my way

"Do you think she can do this? I mean do you think she can beat him?" he chuckled and turned to me.

"Oh the things love will do to the heart. She will be fine my son she has all of us to back her up. And not to mention she has all her people to do the same." I sighed, yes such a breather gesture but I did it anyway.

"I do not think I would survive it Godric, if… if she were to pass to the Summerland… I don't even want to think of it." The pain in my chest at the thought feels like it is tearing me in two. Godric clasped my fore arm.

"Do not worry my son we will get through this and you both will be marvelous." Just then a guard popped in.

"I need to see my queen now!" he didn't have to wait Sookie popped right to his side

"What is it Daeli? What has happened?" he was panting trying to catch his breath Sookie grabbed him by his shirt and looked into his eyes.

"Tell me what has happened in my realm now!" that did it he broke out of his panic.

"Dae guards third portal from the old city. Scouts tell me the Dae prince is with them and he did not look happy. They tell me they heard him talking about the ward and how nothing should have been able to bring it down. But that is not all my queen there is another vampire with them, female by the smell. Though if the chain she bares is any indication I would say she is a prisoner. She looks very week, but she is an old one my lady if we get to her in time I believe she will recover. They don't seem to be moving any closer to the ward lines but I knew you would want to know the prince himself is here. Forgive my men for not attacking but I thought better of it and ordered them to stand down till I could get to you. What are your orders my Queen?" she looked to me and I could see the battle lust in her eyes but she was maintaining control.

"Well then he is in for a big fucking surprise! Gather the whole of my army we will strike at him now before he tries to put the ward back in place. Tell Claudine to put Laura where I told her." She looked at me out of the corner of her eye and i knew who was next in line for the throne.

"Has Ray reported to the dungeon yet?" the scout nodded

"Ray!" and the fairy appeared hand fisted over heart

"I felt your urgency my lady everyone is on guard. The prisoner is secured shall I bring the vampires weapons?" she beamed at him; yep that was her second in command.

"Yes and bring my Sabers, I am feeling frisky this night." he popped away and Sookie went into the tent to address all vampires.

"This night your new home is under attack from the Dae, he has chosen to step through a portal himself. This is where you make another choice. It will be a fight to the death. I believe it will be theirs. So I ask, do you stand with me now!" all vampires were ready for battle when ray popped it poor fairy almost got jumped by Carolina she was so on edge he laid boxes on the table and they had our names on them. Mine was a broadsword and as soon as I touched it, it glowed red. As the others took their weapons the glowed in their colors as well. I looked at her and caught a glimpse of her two swords as she was putting them on her back they too were glowing. She answered my unasked question.

"They are Blades of Faerie; they recognize one of their own. And no Pam before you even ask we cannot change your glow." She laughed the last part out as I looked over at pam. She too had two one handed swords. And by the look on her face as she gazed at the color she was not happy. Leave it to my child to be worried about such a thing before a great battle. She tucked the book under her arm and made her way out of the tent calling over her shoulder to us as she went.

"When you guys come out you are going to be in for a big surprise." As she walked she snapped her fingers and her armor was on under her swords and everything! So fucking hot! But as we stepped out of the tent I knew what she meant. Fae guards and military were everywhere. There were so many I couldn't count them all. They were all shining in their armor and glowing in the moon light. She looked at me and came to my side to address her soldiers.

"The Daemon thinks he can take our land! His crimes are many! He was seen with a vampire in chains! Now is the time to end him! Now is the time to avenge our ancestors! Fight with honor so that if you die this night those in the Summerland's can welcome you with open arms! Fight for me my dear warriors and we will fight to victory!" the crowds shouted and roared. She turned to me and the other vampires and held out her hands before she popped us into battle she looked at each one of us and then said.

"Let's kill them all!" when we popped I noticed all the others doing the same. when we arrived Sookie broke off and we took our positions near her. And then all hell broke loose. Dae's came out of nowhere and charged Steel hitting steel rang through the air fourteen Dae's charged at Sookie and her laughter could be heard through the battle field as she raised her hand and a blast of wind flung them through the air her snarl rang through the air as she shouted out

"Alex! You no good son of a fire Dae! Face me now!" more Dae came at us but we easily mowed them down. There was blood everywhere Carolina and the AP where back to back fighting off the Dae. My maker and pam as well, Charlie was fierce as he severed the head of a Dae. A Dae came at me and I sliced him in half with my sword. We were killing Dae left and right. Then Sookie called out to ray again

"Get Lala and the others back to the ward lines. Tell them to stop any reconstruction attempts. It is a matter of life and death that they see to this!" no questions just gone. Then I really looked at her and what I saw made my lust boil inside me. She was covered in her enemy's blood dripping of her it was everywhere, even her mouth. Oh god's how you fucking tempt me! Just then we heard her name being shouted and that's when we saw him, the scaled fucker himself. His position was being overrun his men all but nearly dead. And he was coming for her. She put a wall of air around herself and us and her battle cry could have been heard for miles the fighting stopped instantly. Her eyes were the pooled again and she was ready to kill. She pointed one of her swords at the prince and the other she used to slice her arm open. Then she screamed to him in a blood chilling voice.

"I claim the right of succession! I challenge you for the throne greatest grandfather." She hissed the last part out and the Dae's all-around including the prince smelled the air. The look of shock on his face was good but what was even better was that at the moment they smelled her blood the rest of the Dae that we had not yet killed laid down their weapons and stepped back. The fae stood still but had their weapons at the ready waiting for the command to kill them all. The Dae Prince spoke while laughing.

"You a meager girl of 42 years think to take on a being thousands of years her senior! You will die this night!" then I saw it a bright light in the forest but it didn't come any closer.

"I have all the power I need inside me Alex! Your crimes Against the Vulmpirie and the Crimes against my greatest grandmother will be avenged this night!" just as Sookie started to charge him the bright glow I saw in the forest was no longer in the forest it stood between the Dae Prince and my fairy Queen. Then I saw that it wasn't just a glow. The being that stood in the glow was a man. He cupped my fairy's face and looked into her eyes.

"You look just like her." Then the Dae Prince gasped and stuttered while trying to speak.

"No it… it can't… it can't be!" then I heard the being whisper to Sookie and if I didn't know before who his was I did then

"Only by the new shall the old be saved." that is why he wasn't with her in the Summerland's! He looked deep into my fairy's eyes and she gasped and clutched his arm, tears streaming down her face. She whispered a name

"Junar!" He smiled bright and I could see his two vampire fangs run down and then she whispered

"Vulmpirie." He turned to the Dae Prince a roared in anger

"I challenge you for your blood offence committed over eight thousand years ago! You thought to touch what is MINE!" the Dae stumbled back hitting his back against a tree

"You can't! She already challenged me! She and I will fight to the death then after I kill her, your death will follow and this time I won't simply have your abominations cast out! This time I will end them all!" The Dae was looking smug. The Vulmpirie whispered something to Sookie in the old language I sometimes heard her speak in and she smiled a big smile and you could tell the Dae prince understood because his face paled.

"I invoke the right of the champion, and I have chosen who mine will be. I choose Junar the oldest Vulmpirie." She handed him her blades and they took on his glow. He turned around to the Prince his voiced laced with the venom of over eight thousand years of pain. He pointed a sword at him as he spoke.

"Mark my words you will meet your end this night!" And with a war cry I shuddered at, the last of the true Vulmpirie lunged for the Prince of the Dae.

A/N Now I know this is a cliffy but I wanted to get this out so I could focus and dream of the battle between these two. It's going to be good! I mean having 8,000 years of pent up aggression released on you is never good! And no wonder she was so sad, she couldn't even be with him in the Summerland's! As always please let me know what you think.
