Orion, who had kept his distance from the quarreling leaders, decided to step in as Warrick thrust toward Selena. He stood in front of the Fairy Queen with his arm raised and his hand out toward Warrick. “Stop!” he yelled. “You will keep your distance! You have done the unimaginable by kidnapping Luna as a ploy to get what you want. We will not turn over the book to you after what Meridian went through to retrieve it. It is ours and it doesn’t belong to you, nor does Luna. You have twenty-four Earth hours to return Luna or you will have your own hell to pay.” Orion demanded.
Selena stood in shock as she watched Orion stand up to Warrick. He had a commanding presence, and it wasn’t often that he stepped in or put anyone in their place, especially Warrick. Warrick’s guards made no attempt to protect him. “We will return, and we will expect Luna to be here, or else,” said Orion.
“Or else what?” Warrick laughed at the fairy. “What are you going to do?” He sneered.
