"Take the gold! Take the gold! Take the gold!"
Mid-chant, the sky tore open straight down the middle of Diplomat Row. Guinevere pulled her face out of her hands at the sound of the crowd turning into chaos and saw the Eclipse King stepping out of a portal.
She blinked in complete disbelief. Of course. Because tonight hadn't been enough.
"Vessel," the Eclipse King called as his fangs extended. "Come here."
Guinevere's hand flew to her mouth, mostly because the Dark Fae King's fangs were yellow and absolutely disgusting.
He moved.
Landon moved faster. White light exploded from his palms and smashed into the Eclipse King's chest with a thunderclap that rattled every window in the Keep.
"YOU DO NOT TOUCH HER."
The fight tore upward, the Eclipse King's wings spread full. Landon lifted with him, standing on what appeared to be light.
His men moved with him up to the sky, also all standing on light, just as more Dark Fae portals cracked open.
