Chapter 49

Thea paced back and forth forover two hours now, staring where theman is hanging, flowers hasn't hurt him anymore and his wound on his hand was healed by them. Well he is still missing his hand though, another thirty minutes pass and the vines gently lays the man down away from the tunnel.

" I'll grab him, keep watch" Tanka said while he shadow jumping to the man, the vines start untwisting from one another and a blue male imp flies through with four more following him carrying over a dozen large baskets on grey clouds.

The imps have their hands up to show they mean no harm, the clouds float over to where Theas barrier is and then put down on the ground.

" who is the leader or if the demon is the leader who usher next" Trae said while keeping his voice slow and steady, while scanning everyone's reaction and he sees over half of the soldiers glance toward the woman closer to the tunnel.

(" interesting a bunch of different races, those two are mermaids and the one kneeling by a beast born is a dark elf.") Trae thought to himself, he waited for a reply from them and waited with a smile.

Thea walkedout of jer barrier stepping in front of where Tanka was knelt at, Tanka tried to grab her hand and he jerks away.

" I am the leader, I'm the advisor and Aunt of Queen Asandra" Thea said while stepping closer to the imp, she glances behind him trying to see down the tunnel. She is surprised to see a couple tree folk waiting in the tunnel, shelooksback toward the imp and chews on her lip.

" I met a one-man before, I think it was 10 no maybe 20 thousand years ago I even helped him escape from here, he was a royal of your kingdom, hell he was a prince I think" Trae answered honestly while hovering in front of her.

" please the demon, my mate has went through, can you take me to her" Thea said stepping closer to the imp while clasping her hands together, the imp sighs and looks back toward the tunnel.

" your mate was an inch away from death, master and Faustus saved her, they are now treating her as we speak" Trae said

Thea looks at the ground with tears coming down her cheek, then drops to her knees, Trae flys toward her waving his hands and shaking his head.

" no do not bow to me please you'll hurt yourself" Trae said grabbing Theas hand trying to get her to stand.

" you helped my grandfather before so I must hope that you wouldn't hurt her, I still worry about your master and others probably don't feel like you do" Thea said raising from the floor, the imp sighs then backs away from her and goes backwards to the entrance of the cave.

" master likes her so she will not harm her, she's healing her and will protect her. I wouldn't be able to protect you from the others, Faustus will die before he'd let someone harm her and I'll talk to master about letting you come to her" Trae said then pulls out a few big bottles of the sap and gives it to Thea.

" I was suppose to give these to you, it seems someone is playing with deadly poison to kill you all, the notes that our tied around the bottle will tell you ways to best utilize it. The demon will have hard life ahead, I want you to save one bottle for a child she'll have one day." Trae said flying back in the tunnel and the vines twist together completely blocking it off, Thea stores the bottles in her storage ring, se sits down leaving against a rock.

Yasek walks over to sit down, he puts his arm around Thea and looks back at the vines he snaps his fingers causing fire to appear on his finger tips. Thea uses a water spell on his hand dousing the flame out, Thea stands up then looks around at everyone.

" no one will touch these vines, you will sit dow,eat, sew, fuck I don't care. If anyone does anything to risk Lillian getting hurt or killed, you will meet the same fate" Thea said walking over to the baskets, there is fruits, breads, cheeses, and wine inside the baskets. She picks up she spreads a large sheet over he large flat stone beside the tunnel, she pulls out her dagger then slices up one basket full of fruits and other things to hand out to each soldier.

Tha eats and lays a blanket down then falls to sleep with a barrier on her, even though she trusts some of them, doesn't mean the others won't try anything.
