This century will be remembered as one that witnessed her greatest fury. Could any day go by without her seething in rage?

Mistress Sinai marched closer to the manor’s crumbling corridor, where Zaiper’s voice boomed like a roaring fire.

They were hiding–again–in one of the many abandoned manors scattered across the outer territories. And today, he was boiling.

“Fifty soldiers!” Zaiper roared. Glass shattered against the wall. “Fifty trained and capable soldiers!”

Sinai halted just outside the door, pressing herself flat to the wall, listening.

“I’ve invested centuries of gold, sweat, and planning into building you and your men, preparing you for war while the rest of the realm slept.” Another crash, another shattered object. “I trained you all in silence while the world turned a blind eye. My soldiers. My effort. And what did that leave me with? A heap of corpses! All for one mission–one mission–to kill a human female!”

The fury in his voice climbed higher. Another explosion of sound followed… something heavier this time, splintering wood perhaps.

“HOW DOES THIS MAKE SENSE!?”

Sinai pressed her lips together tightly. He was unraveling. Completely unhinged.

“We nearly succeeded in capturing the girl,” Kady, the soldier who seemed to be replacing Razarr, said. “But the Grand King arrived. And not just him–the third ruler as well. I saw it happen from a distance. Our men never stood a chance.”

“Fifty trained warriors,” Zaiper spat. “Armed with lethal vials capable of downing our kind. And not one of them could take out two males?” His voice dipped into a quiet, menacing snarl. “And what about you, Kady? Hiding on a hill, watching your comrades die, then scuttling back here with nothing but your useless life. No corpse. No capture. No intelligence. Nothing.”

“But my lord-”

A loud slap and the sound of a body hitting the floor.

Sinai flinched. He’s really lost it. What in all the hells was I thinking, coming to him for protection? This male is deranged!

“I have no army!” Zaiper paced hard across the creaking floorboards. “A king without a throne! Without soldiers! Useless!” He exhaled harshly. “At the very least, tell me she was damaged. That something happened to the abomination growing inside her.”

“One of ours roughed her up before the Grand King arrived,” Kady’s voice came,

low.

“Now, that’s the kind of news I-”

“But… the Grand King arrived before any lasting harm could be done.”

Something heavy was slammed onto the floor.
