Breslyn nodded and said, “My Queen, I hters shouldn’t be allowed to have all the fun” He winked at his old friend, but it didn’t hide the grimness behind the mischievous look

“And you shall help, very soon We all shall do a great deal,” she answered “I have not yet heard fro before she and Shee Willoill find the Twalla Once we have that, everything will fall into place In the meantime we must contain them”

The Queen sighed heavily and suddenly reached out for Radzia who had been biting her botto like an anxious and crazed female Aaibhe touched her hand “I see you are very upset You need to have a clear head You must not think of those who have passed, but of those you will spare In this, you ht with Danté, back to back You and your warriors will finish them off and return here as soon as you are able”

Dublin was under a major attack

She knew that in spite of what the Queen had said that this ful Jazz wrapped her ot matters under control, Pestale threw anotherShe was sure he was trying to hit at their h to know that was not happening!

Jazz became anxious “Where…” she bowed her head respectfully, “…my Queen, is Frankie?”

“She is with Nuad’s daughter, Suade training in the Pavilion I thought it best if she did not hear about the atrocities being coress Danté has made”
