“You are still you, Jazmine You will always still be you and I have no doubt that while the Seelie Fae in you will be dominant in most respects, your hued “How could it not? We are e are because oftop on that list” Ete looked around and suddenly said on a very sad note, “We didn’t arrive in time The abominations are almost here They are already in the web of the portal It will start spitting them out, but our first priority is to contain the creatures and spare the humans” She took Jazz’s hand “Repeat what I say, but don’t just say the ancient Danu words Concentrate on all of your abilities in giving those words ”

Jazz licked her bottom lip Before she was able to ask Ete how she was supposed to understand, Danu started translating for her as Ete spoke

Jazz heard Ete and repeated each ith feeling, and a deeper understanding “ballai cloiche a chaous treilis, beartoidh mé, ni, aon, ni, coimeadam”

Jazz realized as she said these words and concentrated her newfound power on the e and penetrate the atmosphere

She had Seelie blood puet used to that She looked at Ete who looked totally absorbed in what she was doing and continued to repeat the words that demanded the portal to close and seal its predators within its membraned tunnel and shift to the wasteland

As Seelie Fae, they should have the ability to override any Unseelie coh the portal spluttered it did not close It had reht where it was!

“What’s wrong?” Jazz shouted over the noise the portal was creating The winds had picked up as though nature was being tormented by their spell and their presence

Ete looked at Jazz and answered, “The Dark King is Seelie, probably Daoine Seelie If the Dark Princes, as the Queen and I have long suspected, have the Dark King’s blood then the portal would sense the Seelie in them It would be i the portals will be more difficult than we anticipated”

They repeated the words and suddenly Ete turned to be greeted by forty warriors at their back All of whoed by Danu dust The Queen had discovered them in abundance near the Upper Lake of Killarney Ete bade her warriors be ready for the Portal’s

There was total and utter silence Then with a howl of hunger--they came

Coroups of not less than ten, were , spiked hair and teeth grinding Jazz thought she had never seen anything quite so hideous or as frightening as this ry beasts Not even in her time in the Dark Realiant insects; the kind of insects that create nightmares of the worst kind

Spiders as large as tigers, roaches as huge as cars, centipedes and vicious beetles as large as hued

And thus, it began

Ete spread out her arms as the warriors formed a band

“Jazy They can’t pass through our wards We can contain them for a few moments while the warriors lessen their numbers”
