OC In throne of glass

31

It took a few days to get from skulls bay to Morath after dropping Dorian off .She prayed with all her heart that her grandmother hadn't taken her rage out on any of her thirteen,or worse... the thought made Manon dig her legs into Abraxos' sides deeper causing the Wyvern to bolt further through the air,reducing the two's appearance to a blur as they neared the hell that she had once served.

"Please stop" Miranda begged Neon who was still recovering from the his last session with Erawan,not once did he allow him to touch a hair on her head,not once."I can't let you suffer for me Miranda" Neon whispered trying not to break down at the sight of the tears in Miranda's eyes.The fae could hear a strain in the Lycan's voice,as if he was trying hard not to burst into tears and the sound of it just made her heart shatter for him.

"I convinced you to go there",Miranda tried,"I told you to save the prince from the witches,"this is my fault too and I can't stand you suffering for me either." Before Neon could think off a response,he distinctly heard some screaming from below,deep in the dark keep,someone else was being tortured and by the sound of it,it was a female,the Same female he heard when he initially woke up in Morath.She was being beaten by another female which he figured from the feminine laughter that accompanied the crying and echoed throughout the tower.

Sensing Neon's distraction,Miranda engaged her fae senses and pinpointed the faint screaming and cackling that emitted from below them."Her name is Asterin Blackbeak" Miranda told him,she is Manon blackbeak's second,Maeve told me about the witches covens and their exile from their own kingdom."Do you have any idea why they're doing this to her?" Neon inquired,the poor witch's pain broke just his heart."They're most likely taking their anger out on Manon's thirteen and those closest to her because Manon left with Dorian."What?" Neon exclaimed,"Manon is the one who stabbed you?"
Miranda nodded her head and cringed when Asterin screamed particularly loud at something the other witch had done to her.

Suddenly the door opened but it was the demon king who entered but a tall and intimidating female with the features of a witch.Neon knew it was Manon's grandmother,he could scent the blood relation since he knew Manon's scent and he used that to figure out that this must be the Blackbeak matron."Erawan is headed to Eyllwe to see to it that the assassin princess doesnt try to thwart his plans so that means I will be overseeing you torture,he told me not to bother asking your choice since you always take the pain upon yourself."

The matron stalked over to Neon readying her iron nails deeming them fit to torture the warrior but Miranda stood between the two and punched the matron hard in the face,impressively knocking her on the ground but not unconscious."Miranda" Neon murmured,The way the fae female fought for the Lycan male every time they came to hurt him was relentless,a bond that Neon didn't think he would ever share again when he saw Chris' dead body on that frosty ground.

"BITCH" The matron spat out blood,bolting to her feet and swiping at Miranda's gut causing fae blood to spray all over Neon.Miranda staggered back and gasping for air as she tried to regain her balance and lunge at the matron only for to receive a powerful kick to her abdomen."STOP IT!" Neon roared at her but his yells only served to enrage the matron who was preparing to strike the fae wounded fae again while she tried to stand up after being knocked down from the previous blow.

After the yellowlegs witch had been content with the injuries she inflicted upon the bound Asterin,she finally left the dark chamber leaving the poor bleeding Blackbeak to try and fall asleep on the night before her impending execution.When she would be put to sleep forever,for what her wing leader had done.However it didn't matter,it never did,Asterin was always willing die for her beloved wing leader and nothing here would ever change that.

Ever.

Dawn approached as Morath reached Manon's vision and the black witch continuously prayed that she wasn't too late to stop her thirteen being punished for what she did,she was fast enough to save Dorian perhaps she would be able to reach her team as well.It was rather obvious that Manon couldn't be seen by anyone at the keep but that wouldn't be a problem as Abraxos wasn't as large as the other Wyverns and his size was optimal for stealth entries .
