| crouched low in the underbrush, my heart pounding against my ribcage. Peering through the fronds, | could just

make out the cave entrance that would lead us to Mila's palace, and hopefully, to my husband.

But it wouldn't be so simple to get in. This time, there were guards stationed at the entrance—and a lot of them,

too. Getting inside would be no easy feat, and might even be impossible to do without being seen.

"That's a lot more resistance than we were anticipating," Matt muttered, crouched besidewith Jessica and

the others. A cluster of Kai's warriors fanned out behind us, their expressions grim.

| swallowed hard. "What are our options?" | asked, my voice low. "Is there another way inside?"

One of the warriors, crouched by my side, shook his head. "The only other cave entrance is on the other side of

the mountain, and is likely guarded like this as well"

A heavy silence fell over our group as we digested this information. Taking the entrance by force was beginning

to seem more and more impossible by the second.

"I could cause a distraction," a lilting voice suddenly piped up.

| turned to see Daphne edging forward, her red hair catching the light. Her bird form could be useful, with its

small size and agility. But it was dangerous.

"Absolutely not," Matt interjected. "It's too dangerous, Daphne. Those brutes could swat you out of the air like a

gnat."

Daphne bristled and placed her hands on her hips. "Are you doubting my abilities?" she scoffed.

As the two continued to bicker in hushed tones, | felt a gentle hand on my arm. | glanced over to see Lori leaning

in close, her eyes serious.

"She's right," murmured. "Daphne's abilities may be our best chance at causing enough chaos to infiltrate the

palace. If she can create an opening, even just a small one..."

She trailed off, and despite my reservations, | knew she was right. A wave of resignation washed overas |

realized that perhaps this was the only way.

Matt seemed to cto the sconclusion, for his shoulders slumped in defeat. Slowly, he turned back to

Daphne with a look | couldn't quite read fear, maybe.

"Just... be careful," he said, swallowing hard. "Okay?"

For a beat, Daphne's fierce expression softened into something impossibly tender and sad.

Then, rising up on her tiptoes, she flung her arms around Matt's neck and kissed him firmly. The rest of us looked

away, smirking and blushing at the sudden display of affection from the usually-shy Daphne.

When they finally parted, she nodded and wiped her mouth with the back of her hand. "I'll draw them off for as

long as I can," she said simply.

Then, giving us one final nod, she shifted and flitted off in a flash of red feathers.

Within seconds, her bird form began to weave dizzying patterns around the startled guards, near-impossible to

track with the naked eye. The guards swatted and stumbled, shocked by her sudden divebombs until they finally

stumbled far enough away from the cave entrance.

"Now," Luke said softly, gesturing to the warriors.

Without a moment of hesitation, Kai's warriors surged forward, forming a loose semicircle around the cave

mouth. Taking cues from Matt, they spread out with practiced efficiency, already lashing out with their gleaming

blades as the first few guards snapped to attention.

"We need to move quickly," Luke hissed beside me, crouched low and ready to sprint at a moment's notice. "Lori,

you coming with us, or-?"

Giving my friend's arm one final squeeze, | rose into a half-crouch alongside Luke and Tyler, keeping my strides

low and measured as we began to advance toward the skirmish.

Finally, we reached the entrance of the cave. It was unfathomably dark inside, but | knew that soon, torches

would light our way the closer we got to Mila's palace.
