“Yeah, something like that. Geez, Ash, it sounds so depressing when you put it like that.”
Asher’s lips curl into a disgusted grimace. “This is so unbelievably wrong… Is there any way to turn them back?”
“I don’t know. Why would anyone even try?”
“Because they’re innocents!” Ash snarls. “No one has tried to protect them? After all these years?”
“No... I don’t know.” I admit sheepishly. “I never even thought about it until now.” After what we’ve learned in the past day, I think I am starting to understand. It is wrong, so wrong. And no one does anything about it, no one even questions it. Rage slowly filters through me. “Everything the Fae have done is so utterly terrible and there is no one to stop them from continuing their depraved reign. Neither humans nor Magicfolk should have to pay the price for their perversions, but who will protect them? That council can barely protect themselves. Magicfolk don’t have enough power to revolt. The Underground needs a champion.”
“Yes. Yes, I suppose it does,” Ash says, staring at the hysterical Fae child. He taps the stone on my bracelet, opening a true portal to the Underground Forest. Then he grabs my hand and pulls me through.
