Supernatural Villain (Supernatural Captivity #3) - Avery Song Page 0,101

and your love created through your youth and unity as lovers had come to the lands a day earlier to prepare a celebration for you."

Quil-Zu's eyes widened as if she were now remembering the fragments she'd forgotten.

"You surprised us and would wait for us to finish the ritual. Many of our friends, townspeople, even children. Supernaturals. Hybrids. Those we trusted and wanted to start this new life with together."

Tears streamed down her face at the memories, and Quinn smiled as she nodded and looked over to me. "Your child knew that the moment the threat left this room, he would wreak havoc on all those you love and ruin this kingdom as you know it. So with the powers of her fae father and dragon mother, your child did the unthinkable."

She paused to grasp both our attention as the world around us shifted back to the moments Wilfried headed to the door after finishing the deed. The doors swung open, revealing Quinn's wide eyes and heaving chest, just as Wilfried was about to register her entrance.

At that second, a blast of magic went through the room, which not only froze Wilfried in place but began to make the castle walls grow more ancient by the second. Only Quinn seemed unaffected as she observed the chaos, but a tiny voice boomed through the room.

"Princess Quinnlan. My mom's sister. It's up to you now."

The Quinn of the past looked shocked with devastation, but she quickly wiped her tears before she slowly moved around Wilfried and to the very place where my parents’ bodies waited for death.

"This voice...you're..."

"My purpose is to rule this kingdom. No matter the flaws of such plans, the Universe has already written the new chapter that will be bestowed upon me and my mother."

"What...what about Wilfred? What are we supposed to do with him?! Not to forget your father.”

"He is merely a cursed man. His suffering will lie upon the loneliness and desire of greed that will consume his sanity and leave him helpless in the shadows of death. As for my father, he will awaken once freed from the chain put upon his soul at the hands of the Oracle."

"Oracle," I whispered. "The artifact Wilfried has in his possession?"

I exchanged a look with Quil-Zu as we returned our attention to the past unfolding before us.

"The Oracle is in that man's possession, but by spilling my blood with my parents’, he has been plagued with the inability to use it to capacity. Without me, he will never be able to initiate his plans to summon the beast."

Quinn of the past looked baffled as she noticed the growing glow around the bodies before an orb of twinkling orange and turquoise hovered in the air with glimmering gold sparkles that emphasized the purity of the orb.

"Princess...then...what do I do? What do we all do? If he needs you, will he never be able to fulfill his desires and walk scot free from this atrocity?"

"As stated, my rebirth is already written in the stars as I speak and it's only moments before my soul is called with Mother’s to be woven into the new string of destiny," the voice declared. "As for your role, you must protect these lands while those who followed my parents will remain frozen in time. The sins that have occurred upon these lands will create a wasteland no one will be willing to venture into without losing their lives. Until I'm reborn and return to this very throne, you will guard these lands as your own."

There was a pause as Quinnlan's body began to glow and symbols began to appear upon her flesh - the same symbols that reflected upon the present Quinn's body.

"The markings upon your flesh will give you the drive to live. You will never lack food, water, or shelter, for this land knows your new role and you will be the one to welcome me upon my return to the throne. Your sister will be present at that moment, and you'll know it is my reincarnation for I will carry the same mark that has been gifted to your flesh."

"But what if someone similar comes along with a selfish desire to rule?"

There was a giggle of pure innocence. "I may have fallen before my birth, but I will carry the same kindness as my father and the resilience of my mother. I won't see the need to rule, but I will desire to discover how to make this kingdom a better place for
