Dark Heart: Fay war.
Chapter Two.
"If you must go… take me with you" begs Kayla.
"No… I will not put you in any more danger… but I owe Castiel and this situation I can help with… stay here My Dear… I will be back before you know it" soothes Lucifer.
His human sobs in his arms but he is determined to go… he owes his brother and is good in a fight.
His horse is ready and he reassures his human as much as he can before leaving to join his brothers in Ashbrooke.
Prince Oran grins at Gabriel as he leaves and says "You must come and visit when this is over… I have missed you Gabe".
The vampire lord swallows hard and nods "Of course I will… I'll be envoy to the Fay court remember".
Tarn rolls his eyes and lays his hand on Gabriel's shoulder, speaks the words to return them to the clearing and the world swims again.
"Only stop long enough to tell your brother of Oran's plan then go straight to the council… we'll need the vampire army here as soon as possible" says Tarn as he leaves the vampire lord.
"Where are you going ?" asks Gabriel.
"To see if we still have any one in the castle loyal to the true king… any inside help, we'll need it finding your brother" replies Tarn.
"Yes we will… good luck" Lord Gabriel replies with a small smile.
The Fay warrior nods "May the wind carry you".
They part… both with jobs to do.
Castiel, Azriel and even Dain were grinning by the time Gabriel finished explaining Oran's plan.
Lucien sat thinking it through as did Kale.
"Kale and I must come with you when you go in for Dean… I can send for the rest of the pack if you want Cas… they'll come in with the army" stated the Alpha.
Lord Castiel shakes his head "You and Kale are more than enough wolf for a few Fay, old friend and I take comfort knowing the pack is at home guarding the rest of the household".
Lucien nods "Very well… I'll leave them at home".
"I hate to ask it of you brother but can you leave for the council now ?" Lord Castiel asks Lord Gabriel.
"Of course… I only stopped to tell you to be ready… if I'm not back, Tarn will come get you… you remember Tarn don't you Cas ?" assures Gabriel.
"Yes I do…we'll be ready when he gets here… thank you brother" says Castiel as he hugs Gabriel.
"You'd do the same if it were Tommy" nods Gabe.
"Yes I would" agrees Cas.
Lord Gabriel says goodbye to the others and heads back to the council.
Two hours after Gabe left there is a knock at the door, Kale who is closest sniffs and whispers "Vampire…" and gets a funny look on his face, one Lucien knows too well, so well he knows who is at the door before Castiel opens it.
"Lucifer ? What are you doing here ?" he asks in surprise.
"Anything I can to help brother… if I can be of service by all means use me" replies Lucifer "I owe you this much at least".
Even though he was slightly stunned Castiel claps his brother on the shoulder and bids him come in.
"Your just in time to kick some ass" Azriel says in way of greeting, still not trusting Lucifer after what he did to Castiel.
"Anything I can do… just name it, I have much to make up for" replies Lucifer solemnly.
"Get ready to sneak into the Fay castle with us and help rescue Dean" states Dain as he pulls on his boots.
Lucifer nods "We heard you were injured… young one".
"I was… amazing what a dose of your sire's blood will do" grins Dain.
Lucifer chuckles and nods "Yes it is… glad to see your feeling better, we'll need all of us to get Lord Dean back".
"We have Fay help so your not really needed" says Lucien.
"Oh I don't know Alpha… he'd make perfectly good canon fodder" grins Blaze.
Kale glares at him but Blaze ignores him.
"This helps us get Dean back, how ?" asks Lucifer.
"He is right… like it or not, Lucifer is good in a fight and he owes me… we can use him so lets forget past wrongs and work on getting My Dean back safely" puts in Castiel.
The alpha frowns but nods "Yes Cas, of course…".
"So what will I need ?" asks Lucifer.
"Your sword and a light tread" replies Lord Castiel.
"Then I am ready… lets go" grins Lucifer.
"We are waiting on the Fay help… and the vampire army" adds Az.
"They were gathering in case the council called them to ride… they'll be ready" answered Lucifer.
"How do you know that ?" asks Lucien.
"I checked as I left… plus I came across a few lords from outer villages coming in to join the army" replied Lord Lucifer.
For the first time since he woke scared for Dean… Lord Castiel smiles and thinks 'Oran's plan just might work'.
Within an hour another knock on the door… again Kale sniffs "Fay" he whispers.
"Probably Tarn" says Castiel but his brothers ready weapons anyway.
"You can not be little Castiel…" grins Tarn as the vampire lord opens the door.
"Hello Tarn… it's been too long" replies Castiel as the Fay warrior enters the room.
He glances around once and turns back to Cas "Four vampires and two werewolves is all we have ?" he asks.
Lord Castiel nods "Yes… do we need more ?".
"No… this will work… and must be a first all three species working together like this" replies Tarn.
"Yes it may be… a pity it takes such a thing to unite us" muses Castiel.
Tarn nods "Yes a pity".
Curled up in a nest of cloth and straw in the back of a hidden cave lays a woman… she sleeps… she dreams… she see's.
She see's the Fay united under their true king…
She see's the Vampire's united under a king…
She see's the Wolves untied under an alpha king…
She see's the three kings allied… Midian at peace.
She see's the faces of the three kings and smiles in her sleep.
When she wakes, she knows…
She knows she must leave her cave… must venture out into the world and find them… for it has started.
She knows the first king is about to take his throne, that helping him is the first step for the other two kings. She knows her place is with them… she knows how to guide them to their destiny. She knows she was born for this… to be the oracle of the three kings.
