"The Daemon, my sister and that blue…thing are hiding here?" Nuada looked at the Drow, De'Rowgh, almost uncertainly.

"It's the perfect place for them to hide, lily boy." De'Rowgh mocked the Prince and Nuada fought the urge to roll his eyes.

"De' Rowgh I know you find your species to be high above mine but I am still Royalty here and if you don't keep that hole you call a mouth shut while we are in public I will shut it for you. I can barely stand your voice in private so do everyone a favour and stay silent." Nuada replied. De'Rowgh was Nuada's closest friend after Wink and he had gotten used to going through this with the Drow many times before battle.

"I'd like to see you try but don't worry Princeling, I won't show you up."

"Good," Nuada smirked, "Then let us enter." He disappeared and reappeared on the other side of the large gates fencing off the secret government facility from the rest of the world. De'Rowgh did roll his eyes at the pale elf and hopped over the fence. Nuada took out his lance as the guards from the gates stepped out of their booth and swiftly sliced through them, the guard dogs with them didn't make a noise, just sat down obediently as though they knew they were in the presence of greatness. Nuada wiped the blood off of his lance and allowed the canines to like it off his fingers, "Good dogs." He whispered.

"Come Princeling, let me show what a real elf can do." The two headed into the building.


"De'Rowgh you take the upper floors I will handle the lower ones, the priority is to find the crown piece and my sister."

"And what of the Fey? After all there is another Princess here."

"My Mate's cousin…if you see her, leave her here, I believe that she will be less trouble here than with us at this moment in time. But you are not to harm her, the last thing I need is the Fey nation coming after me for not only bonding with one of their royals but for hurting the crown princess."

"Very well Nuada, if you get into any trouble just call for me, and I will be there to protect your lily white ass."

"You're use of the human's language frustrates me to no end De'Rowgh."

"Why do you think I do it?" The Drow smirked at the Prince before taking off in the opposite direction to Nuada.

De'Rowgh wandered one of the upper hallways, that appeared to be a filled with guest quarters, 'I suppose the Princesses will be staying in rooms like these,' he thought to himself. He passed one of the rooms and heard rustling in it. Opening the door quietly he saw the Fey Princess brushing out her red hair in front of a dresser. A grin spread over his black lips and his silver eyes almost glowed.
"Well it appears as though I have found a Princess," his deep rumble caused Mira to spin around and stare at him in shock, "It's a pity that you're not the Princess I'm looking for."

"Who are you?" she asked coldly, sliding a hand up her sleeve to reach her small dagger.

"My Lady, De'Rowgh Blacksword at your service," he inclined his head, "I am also his royal highness's loyal friend."

"You're here for Nuala." It wasn't a question.

"The crown piece, the Prince no longer has a connection with his sister, and while he does want her to come with him, she is no longer his main goal."

"I see…" her voice wavered for a moment, captivated by his molten gaze, "And who exactly does he share a connection with now?"

"Why your enticing cousin of course, meaning that now, to harm the Prince would cause your protector a great deal of pain."

"You aren't here to take me?" she asked, inwardly she was panicking at the thought of Nyx getting hurt, if the Prince was here then she would have to stop Hellboy from hurting him, she couldn't let Nyx get hurt, she just couldn't.

"No, the Prince feels that you will be too much of a distraction right now, although when we do bring you back, I will be watching over you." De'Rowgh walked towards her with a predatory gaze and backed her up against the wall. She took out her blade, but it wasn't much use against the strong Drow who knocked it out of her hands before pressing himself to her, "Trust me your highness, when I bring you back to the palace, I will enjoy you."

"How dare yo-" he cut her off by pushing his lips to hers, he held her wrists against the wall and shoved his legs in between hers so as to protect himself. She struggled in his grip but eventually found herself kissing the Drow elf back, opening her mouth when his tongue wanted entrance, allowing him to completely dominate her in every way.

Just then the base's alarm went off and De'Rowgh pulled back from Almira and smirked, "Alas dear Princess, it seems as though Nuada has found what he's looking for, and I must take my leave, until we meet again." He let go of her and disappeared from the room, leaving Mira to lean against the wall, breathing heavily, with one hand covering her lips.


Nuada pulled Nuala along the halls of the underground palace as she struggled to free herself, "Brother please!"

"You have betrayed me Nuala, my own sister, not once but twice, and if it weren't for the fact that you are my sister and that I still love you, I would abjure you. De'Rowgh!" he yelled.

The Drow was at his side in an instant, seeing Nuada was in no mood for games he bowed, "Highness?"

"Take my sister to the tunnels, Bethmora is in Ireland, go, I shall meet you there." De'Rowgh nodded and took the Princess.
Nuada watched as they left before calling on Wink and telling them to follow, after which he headed to his room, where Nyx was waiting for him.


Nyx paced back and forth in her room, something was not right, she could feel it, something was different, and out of place. She could tell there was something very close that wasn't supposed to be there…no, it just wasn't expected to be there…or at least that's what she could feel. She had started feeling a little off the day before her talk with Nuada, she couldn't understand what was going on. Not even her IV understood, this was not good. She should probably tell Nuada, but he was so busy with the whole Golden Army thing, and she had no idea what was going on with these new feelings…maybe she was just adjusting to life here? That could be it right? She didn't want to waste Nuada's time on something perfectly normal. But nothing felt normal right now, and she couldn't get over the fact that it felt like there was someone there that shouldn't be, someone watching her, with her. If these feelings continued for another few days then she would tell him, but Nyx didn't want to worry Nuada.

Nyx's head shot up as her door flew open and Nuada walked in, he saw the worried look on his mate's face, reaching her, he cupped her face in his hands and looked into her eyes. "Lover what is it? What is wrong?"

Nyx shook her head, "It doesn't matter, we can talk later."

"Lover if something is bothering you-"

"Nuada, in light of what you're about to do, I don't think I should worry you, it's probably nothing anyway."

Nuada was reluctant to let it go but he knew he needed to get to Bethmora quickly. "Very well, we need to leave now, I'm sure the demon and his friends will be there soon.
