“Let me say something to you.” Azar grabbed Zoe in a flash and flew them high in the air before I could say anything.
What is he doing?
I shifted my weight to my other foot and wiped some of Zoe’s silver dust off of my forehead with my shaking hands.
I directed my view up to the odd flying pair.
They hovered twenty feet above me.
Adrenaline coursed through my veins. The air around me felt like it was on fire. I took a few deep breaths and then tried to calm my racing heart.
Azar whispered something in his ear. Zoe nodded and then looked down at me.
Come on. We don’t have all night.
Thankfully, Adae and his sorcerers had not figured out we were here.
Azar reappeared in front of me within seconds.
“What was that about?” I asked.
Azar’s leather jacket vanished, exposing rows of hard golden muscle. The crystal sword appeared in his right hand. Azar tilted his head from side to side, shifting and stretching his shoulders. “I just wanted to make sure we understood each other.”
“You didn’t threaten him, right?”
“Of course not.”
Zoe materialized behind me.
I turned around. “What did he say?”
Zoe shrugged. “I was told to keep it a secret.”
I frowned. “Secrets weren't a part of the plan, Azar. What's going on?”
Zoe gave me a sad smile. “We should go, Fati.”
Azar nodded. “He's right.”
“Oh, now you two are buddies?”
“I've warmed to him.” Azar hit me with a warm smile. “Are you ready to see your daughter?”
My heart ached. My voice went weak. “Yes.”
“Come on,” Azar gazed at his crystal sword, turned it around, and then slashed it in the air so quickly and with so much force that I jumped back. “Then, let’s kill some sorcerers.”

Before we were to head away, Azar wanted to check the perimeter and make sure nothing seemed out of order. Fast, he jumped into the air and disappeared.
Zoe leaned my way. “I can’t believe you hooked up with him.”
“I want to know what he told you up in the sky.”
