Hades
Kael still didn't eat, I thought as I took off into the sky, my wings capturing wind and propelling us higher with each flap. Not even a bite, he refused. Half a year ago, I would have force-fed him. But he would report me to Eve.
That was what he threatened me with.
So I let him be.
Thea held her brother to herself, and Kael held her to himself. I curved my lengthened spine to ensure they were secure against my back, feeling the familiar weight of passengers who depended on me to get them safely across enemy territory.
The wind cut sharp against my face as we climbed higher, the ground falling away beneath us.
In he vast emptiness of the night sky, we were ghosts.
I had to keep it that way for our safety as we would cut diagonally through the capital itself. Where the Lunar Heights were--it was the last place on the planet that we wanted to get caught. We might as well deliver ourselves with a pink bow and a card.
