Chapter 152

• The heated conversation at the throne ended abruptly as Daniel downed his two assailants within seconds. Daniel's eagle eyes flicked up at the now shocked Ice Queen as he advanced on the throne. The other fae and their champions looked at him with a mixture of fear and curiosity. Other guards came out of the icework, but were now not as hasty to move on him after seeing him take down two of their own so easily.
• Daniel stopped within a foot of the Queen, still holding the spearhead in his hand. He spoke clearly and evenly so that she would hang on his every word. With someone standing so close to you with a weapon in your hand, that kind of thing deserves notice. He addressed the Queen. "I have no idea what is going on. I have no idea why I was brought here outside of that some wolves are knocking on your door and you need people to protect your girls." He said with a tight voice as he reigned in his anger at being jumped. "Lily asked me to help her again, and that is what I plan on doing." Daniel reversed the spearhead in his hand and presented it to the Queen with the point facing him so that all she had to do was shoot her arm out and it'd gut him on the spot.
• The Queen studied him again, this time in a new light. The corners of her mouth twitched up in a smile. "Humans," she said at long last. "You continue to surprise me. You are a warrior among your kind?"
