Nyline Swift knows exactly who she is and where her life is supposed to be headed, but that doesn't mean she is making any effort to make it happen. She has no interest in returning to the Aether world, finding her mate, or even seeing her families destroyed kingdom. She is perfectly content living in a quiet life with her father's most trusted scout, Jonathan Neverwell. Who has been a father figure and protector even since they fled from the lesser daemons that were attacking their home when she was born. Nyline was never taught how to rule or even how to act properly; she has been trained as a scout for her entire life and doesn't let other's see what's under the mask. However, when a portal opens on her 16th birthday and sucks her back into the Aether world; everything is turned upside down and she must find her way in a world that she knows nothing about.


Damien Williams, Prince of Dunhul must have his mate in order to rule his kingdom. His strict parents have given him a deadline to find his mate or he will be given to another, a straggler, someone who is not his other half .  After he and his scouts have searched for most of their lives when a lead finally appears. This is his last chance to meet the other half of his soul but is the person he's been chasing really what he's been looking for?


Gabriel  Danshmef, the shadow prince of the kingdom of Vaccoon  was never allowed to search for his mate. His parents wouldn't let him. Her kingdom was destroyed around the time they were born and she has been missing ever since. He never really gave it much thought; figuring that he would be alone and had come to terms with that long ago.  He has stayed inside the boarders of his feared kingdom , or at least when he's not out exploring the ruins of the kingdom that is just below his. His life is changed when his mate is dropped back into the aether world and for the first time Gabriel's mind connects with another; leaving him rushing to find who's on the other side.

Beyond The Fairy Gate

Damien surfaced on the other side his lungs gasping for breath. His scouts surfaced and looked at him with calm expressions on their faces. Damien gaped at them as he pulled more air into his chest and started to swim to the edge. Unlike the pond in his world this one seemed to be deep all the way to the grey rocks that surrounded it. On the other hand, His scouts looked as if they had just been on a leisurely swim as they swam over and pulled themselves up onto edge. 


"How did he make it through that with a baby?" Damien mumbled as he rolled over onto his knees still gasping for air. He glanced at his scouts again as he stood and rang out the corner of his shirt. They weren't winded as he was and as they stood waiting for him to gain his feet so they could continue.  He shook his head; it must be a scout thing. 


"Prince Damien!" Jake spoke as he appeared in the clearing, "I didn't expect you to arrive so suddenly." Jake went down on one knee and looked at the ground. 


"Jake! You've done it! I don't know how you did it but I'm so happy." Damien grabbed him around the middle and pulled him into a hug. 


"What are you talking about?  I haven't been able to confirm if my led is correct or not. Yes, I found someone matching the description, but I haven't spoken with her yet." Damien placed him on the ground and looked into his eyes.


"I saw you, though her eyes. You were right there." Jake's mouth was open in a gape as his eyes grew wide. 


"I've spoken with a lot people, but I have confirmed nothing. I'm sorry I should have worked faster."  Damien smacked his head as Jake seemed to panic a little.


"This is bad. We need to find her quickly." Damien paused and looked around as he ran his fingers though his hair. Jake looked confused.


"Is there something that I need to know? I'm sorry I don't have any more information; I honestly didn't know that you were going to show up this soon." Jake asked his panic turning to confusion as he looked at the other scouts. 


"Jake it's fine," Damien clapped him on the shoulder. "This is my fault not yours, I chose to dive headfirst into this situation without thinking." Damien paused glancing at Rebecca as if expecting an 'I told you so' but she held her tongue and simply crossed her arms. "Can you take us to where you were looking for her? Alright, we'll head that way. Angelica fill Jake in on the situation please." She nodded before she walked over and touched her hand to his shoulder. Jake paused for a moment as they looked into each other's eyes. Damien watched and waited for it to be over as the images of the past few hours flashed in Angelica's eyes and went into Jakes mind. 


"I thought I felt something off when you arrived," Jake spoke quickly before they all paused. 


"Jake, take Ryan and Nathan and go ahead. Rebecca and Angelica will wait with me before we follow." They all nodded before Jake, Ryan and Nathan all darted off. Damien paused for a moment before he looked at Rebecca. "Focus on your mate and be aware of their wellbeing. Angelica, focus on the area." They both nodded their heads as they started off at a much slower pace.
