“Crystal seerasp She said you needed to search for it and that only you or a Royal could find it,” Trevor shrugged

Aaibhe frowned, held her head up and said, “Then by Danu we shall Crystal has never lied to e then so be it” She took a ed with resignation said, “Nevertheless, in the meantime we must deal with the situation as it stands”

Aaibhe regarded thehtfully, “I am afraid that each of you will be needed at different portals I a to have to ask you to separate so that all our powers can be used at maximum efficiency” She turned to Jazz “Jaz you with Ete to Inverness Ete knohere to go and the correct spell needed to transport the dolmens to what Queen Mab and I call the Wasteland Ete knows Inverness well She knohere the dolmens stand in the River Liffey” She turned to Trevor and said, “You h Castle and remove the invisible dolmens hidden on the castle’s hillside”

She turned to Breslyn and Danté “My dear Breslyn, you are for Belfast and Danté you are for Dublin Radzia, take Nuad and his Royal Trackers and guard the Portal dolhed heavily “Chancemont with some of his army covers London at the Bloody Tower and Princess Royce and Morgan LeBlanc are at Stonehenge with the rest of the Milesian army Queen Mab has already dispatched her Royals and her se enough to be utilized by the Dark Princes” She sighed heavily, “I know you don’t like being spread out like this, but at the moment we don’t have a choice Princess Aida and herKillarney, but the three Lakes there make it difficult to do this without help Shee Willow and her Druid mate Shayne will cover the upper Lake I can not put our mortal Druids and their mates at risk, so I have asked Maxine and Julian to do no more but keep watch on the MacTalbot dolmens BJ and Daremont also hed heavily, “I believe that covers any and all h to transport an army the size Pestale means to throw at us” Aaibhe put up her hands, “All of youto be successful”

Aaibhe looked to Queen Mab she nodded and added her thoughts, “The Daoine Royals are alreadyto remove portals and have reported to me that three major portals have been sent to the Wasteland and are now out of reach We will also be ready with my warriors to join you whenever and wherever needed You have but to use the mind link to your Queen who is linked to me and my warriors will assist”

“No,” said Trevor quietly everyone turned and looked in his direction He had gone rigid after he heard the Queen give orders for Jazz to go off with Ete and his tone noas passionate as he added, “Jazoes with me, Ete doesn’t need her”

“Not this time, my Prince,” said Queen Aaibhe “Jazmine has special qualities that she needs to explore and Ete, with her Daoine blood, can guide her through her new abilities and keep her safe They are for Inverness”

Trevor stood tall as though forgetting he was addressing his queen “No! she is newly transitioned my Queen”

“I see,” Aaibhe tilted her head thoughtfully and then sighed heavily “I understand your concernsprince, but we don’t have ti Jazmine safe I understand you are newly bonded and as such your eood sense” She turned to Jazz as frowning darkly over Trevor’s outburst Jazz was in fact, both embarrassed and annoyed by Trevor’s re care of herself?

The Queen regarded her quietly and asked, “My dear, do you feel up to the task? It will be erous”

“I do! I shall go where you feel that I am most needed” Jazz returned and did not look at Trev as she stood straight and proud

Trevor took her arm, “I forbid it”

“You what? Forbid?” He had said the wrong thing to her “Forbid?” She lost all control She poked hier in his eyes “You are ht, now or ever to forbid !” She raised her chin and turned her back to him

“Enough!” said the Queen She went silent for a moment and suddenly, the Queen’s voice was in Jazz’s head She received the Queen’s iven their h mind links

She turned her head and before Trevor could object again, she squeezed Frankie’s hand and told her to stay with the Queen She then turned to Ete Ete who had been stroking Breslyn’s face and whispering private words, gave him one last smile and turned to Jazz and took her hand
