Archdemon Empress Luna

**************************

"I am certain that this is not yours, human, because this belonged to me!" The Queen of the Fall Courts insisted with gritted teeth and made no attempts of releasing Ravin's necklace.

The Archdemon of Gluttony's gestures seemed like he didn't want to back down either.

As Luna's worried gaze alternated between her Familiar and the Queen,?her instincts told her that the tension would escalate, and she was right.

Eyes protruding in frustration, the Queen snarled,?"I demand you to answer me where you got this."

"See here, Your Highness." There was an edge in Ravin's laughter as he tried to back away from her, "You can't go around claiming other people's items?the first time you meet them because that's not how it works."

The autumn leaves on the ground rustled as the strong winds around the Queen and Ravin created a small tornado, "You don't know how easy it was for us to make that claim, old man." The blond Fae with the transparent?golden wings had stepped out and took shape behind the Queen of the Fall Courts, "We can just kill you…." He drawled, "—and then our Queen would own that necklace if she?desired."

Nobody initiated to talk.

From the corner of her vision, Luna swore she witnessed another hazy and transparent muscular form exit the portcullis earlier and intercepted Ravin just in case he would attack and put the Queen in danger.

Luna could hear no sound when the other male Fae with the long auburn hair and beard appeared next to the blond Autumn Fae.

Can these mysterious men materialize and vanish at will, or can they teleport like Apollyon?

Maybe, their magic allowed them to camouflage and separate themselves from the crowd of onlookers to surprise them.

Apollyon never left Luna's side, but he tugged her along as they advanced closer to Ravin, preparimg for the ensuing chaos.

Princess Sapphire, Xerxes, and Sloth also moved closer until everyone who wanted to get involved in this fight were all within reach.

As Ravin looked over his shoulder,?his lips curved upward when he met Luna's eyes before he?returned to speak to the Queen, "No. We demand you to let us enter?the Kingdom of the Autumn Courts."

Ravin's posture straightened as he stood his ground.

"You are now surrounded by our group." He released his hold on the Queen's wrist and settled his hands behind his back. The sight of them positioned near him must have given the Archdemon confidence. "One wrong move and we will take you down."

"Is this another bloodshed?"?The Archdemon of Sloth danced in place as he waved an Archdemon dagger in his hand, "How exciting!"

There was no warning before the lethargic Archdemon threw his dagger and aimed it at the?Queen's temples in the middle of his happy dance.

"Sloth!" Luna screeched as she ran towards Sloth to stop him from killing the Queen, but her husband was faster.

Apollyon teleported behind the Queen which made the men step backward, locked his forearm around her neck, and pulled her, dodging Sloth's dagger as it whistled past her forehead.

The sharp edge penetrated a trunk of a tree.

"Your Highness!"?Luna called out to the Queen as she grabbed Sloth by the arm and hoped she was alright.

In the blink of an eye, the Fall Queen's men moved and aimed his wand at her and Sloth when they realized that the Vampire King had their Queen in their chokehold.

"One wrong move and my Cadre will kill all of you." The Queen swore.

Luna's mouth was as dry as a desert during the summer, and she swallowed hard.

"Kill my Empress and you get killed." Apollyon threatened back and added mockingly, "Your Highness."

Luna figured out that they had to make a deal with the Queen quickly, or they might declare war against the vampirekind in that instant.

Honestly, Luna half-expected the Fall Courts' disposition to be a little warm during their first meeting since the Vampire Kind could consider them—Vampiric Faeries—as distant cousins.

The fragile peace was over before it had the chance to take root.

If this conflict wouldn't end soon, it was going to make her sick.

"I never intend?to hurt a pregnant woman, Vampire King. I will release both of you for saving my life from your companion if you release me first." The Queen promised, but Apollyon wasn't falling for her trick.

The Queen's men never left her and Sloth alone, either.

Luna stayed still and pinched Sloth's arm when he attempted to escape from them,

"From the?speed these old men had moved, it's clear that they aren't humans. I will let you enter the Fall Courts in exchange for that blue feather that necklace." The Queen added.

"I find it strange, Your Highness, that you decided to meet us outside the gates of your Kingdom instead of your Cadre escorting us in and out of?your palace in peace. There is no elaborate traps before this." Princess Sapphire spoke to quell the rising tension between all of them, "Why are you treating us differently from?the past royalties who visit the Kingdom?"

"I can't tell you more but this era?is a dangerous time for royalties who didn't have an alliance to the Fall Courts to visit us."

"What if the Vampire Realm wanted to make an alliance with your Court?" Ravin proposed.

The Queen of the Fall Courts took a deep breath and inquired, "For what reason are you forming an alliance with us out-of-the-blue? Was the Vampire Realm attacked by demons which had escaped from Hell?"

Demons?

Luna's eyes widened in shock.

Did she know?

"We will tell you more if you let us enter the Fall Courts, Your Highness." Luna responded, and Apollyon threw her a knowing glance, "We had a lot of things to talk about that we would rather you keep as a secret. A proper, respectful discussion can't be done outside the fortress of the Kingdom."

"Are?you going to be a threat once you infiltrated the Fall Courts?"

"What can a Vampire King, an Empress, a princess, a werewolf shape shifter and two old men can do to the thousands of inhabitants behind that strong fortifications?" Sloth grinned, and the bastard didn't show any remorse from starting trouble at all, "We are basically outnumbered, unless you can't defend?yourselves from a small group of people?"
