Hex met the eyes of the woman in gold. Her expressions remained serene yet her presence stopped all the Druids in their tracks.
Even Queen Bae, whose hate toward Gronke only seemed to have increased during their battle, moved to her side, standing slightly bowed.
"Bae, you attacked first," the lady in gold said. Her melodious voice sounded like a gentle wind rustling through the grass in an open field. She spoke in barely a whisper and still everyone heard her loud and clear.
Queen Bae's neck shrank a little. Even at such a distance, Hex saw her pale skin catch a rosy hue.
"I apologize, High Queen. But he challenged us and…and he is…he is part of Scarletfire's team."
She fidgeted a little before she spat vehemently, her eyes fixed on Gronke. The mere thought of his leader seemed to drive her desire to draw blood. His blood.
