I looked over the stone railing and made sure to not touch the surface.
Everything is clear so far.
“Zoe?” I kept my voice low. “I need you.”
“Who’s the demon?” Zoe appeared in an explosion of silver dust, lounging on the edge of the tower’s railing. He only wore black underwear as he swung his long legs over the barrier and strolled to me.
His usual blond hair was gone. He was now completely bald, exposing solid silver skin.
“What happened to your hair?” I asked him as he targeted Azar with his silver eyes.
“More punishment from Adae.” Zoe leaned his head to the side and scrutinized Azar. “Why are you with an unchained demon, Fati?”
“Fati?” Azar hissed.
“That's Zoe's nickname for me.”
Azar stepped forward and stopped barely a foot away from Zoe.
I noticed the crystal sword hanging from Azar’s waist and wondered if it had been there the whole time. My nerves flared on edge. This was supposed to be the easy part, but Azar glared up at Zoe as if he were seconds from shedding the fairy’s blood.
What’s his problem?
Azar knew Zoe was a part of the plan.
“Zoe, I need your help.” I cleared my throat to get his attention.
Still watching Azar, Zoe crossed his silver arms around his bare chest. “I don’t know, Fati. Adae knows you like me. He shaved my head and took my clothes.”
“You like him?” Azar closed the distance and now gripped his sword.
When did the sword leave his side?
The crystal blade came to life, glowing gold. Demon magic thickened in the air.
Zoe looked at it and stepped back. Silver dust exploded around his head.
Azar sneered at Zoe. “Have you tastedFati?”
“What?” Zoe stepped back and widened his eyes. “Never.”
I seized Azar’s huge arm. “Azar, stop,”
“We are talking, Fatou.”
“I told you, he is just my friend.”
“Azar?” Zoe muttered and stepped back further. “The Azar that killed a dozen of Adae’s guards in one minute? Are you fucking crazy, Fati?”
“Be careful,” Azar hissed.
“Enough.” I scowled at Azar and then directed my attention back to Zoe. “Why did Adae punish you?”
“Adae heard about the Boto brothers being killed. Plus, you haven’t been answering his calls.” Zoe covered his arms as if he were cold. His eyes remained on Azar’s sword. “Adae thought I knew something. But I told him you hadn’t answered my calls either.”
“You’ve been calling her?” Azar raised arched eyebrows.
I rolled my eyes at Azar. “Zoe likes guys. Relax.”
