Supernatural Villain (Supernatural Captivity #3) - Avery Song Page 0,50

cursed him with. The realization of this was exactly why they rushed swearing us in. Wilfried hoped to eliminate us so that it would drive Cassandra mad, or at least be enough for him to use his control upon her as well. His announcement that Cassandra is only a villain out of circumstance due to her being controlled by her mother and the fae kingdoms was only to give the perfect opportunity for her to 'leave' the dark side and join his side, which is currently being perceived as good. That will put Cass in the perfect position for him to offer the magic artifact to her with the impression that she can bring her loves back from the afterlife. But in reality, she'll summon the beast and have the control needed to do exactly what we're trying to prevent."

We all couldn't speak as we absorbed his explanation.

Fuck...he's...right!

"While all that is happening, the fae will be furious about the false accusations that could set the world up for war. The humans will worship King Wilfried in hopes of salvation, and the supernaturals will go on whatever side that will bring them security. War will descend upon the lands and that will be the perfect time to summon the beast!" Tristian concluded.

It was all coming together, as we stood there thinking about the possibilities.

"We need to find those blueprints." Dominick's voice was hard as stone. "We need to know what other possibilities the Oracle holds."

"We also need to protect Cassandra at all costs," Omarion spoke up. "If Wilfried has figured this all out, it's only a matter of time before the rest unfolds. By morning, the royal fae, dragon kingdoms, and even those in presidential power in the human sector will be alerted to the awakening of these lands. We need to ensure its protection."

"In terms of protection, you will be safeguarded," King Wyatt announced. "I've already informed the kingdom Quilzurashi came from. She may have perished years prior, but her family has only grown in power in the realms of dragons. The rulers of the current kingdom already sent their task force of dragon knights to come to the border of these lands to protect it. Once I'm finished with our discussion, I will also visit my wife to aid with sending reinforcements here as well. With the land being rejuvenated, its protective walls will be stronger than before. You all should be protected for a few weeks, if not months."

"What if Wilfried tries to make a move immediately?" Dominick asked.

"That would be a stupid move," King Wyatt replied. "With tensions high on all ends, the revival of these lands will do two things. One, it will bring up the past and people will soon find out about the supernatural story regarding these very lands and it being off-limits."

"And the second thing?" Otis and I pressed.

"Once people find out about the past, it could spark controversy regarding who killed the rulers of these lands."

We were quiet as we thought of the possibilities. By the morning, the supernatural world would definitely be aware of the rejuvenation of these parts, but the fear regarding the desolation this very area once carried would hold them back for some time.

If Wilfried carried this Oracle magic artifact that was brainwashing the humans, it may not be a priority in his books, but that left the supernaturals, or at least those with enough common sense and resistance, to see that something bigger was brewing beneath the surface and to choose a side.

To find the fine details that led to all these events unfolding.

"What if we pushed the subject?" Tristian suggested.

That had our attention as he crossed his arms and looked deep in thought once more. "Why not share hints of the past of these lands? By morning, the supernaturals will know about this and begin whispering through the grapevine, right? What if we started that very grapevine with our own hidden sources? Create a story that's woven with the truth but has enough hidden aspects to make the rumors spread like wildfire. Supernaturals love gossip, and once we have them talking, the humans will soon follow. Wilfried may have control of the humans, but his command was high on the scale of reasoning. He got away with his current control because of the situation regarding our deaths. However, he may not have the same controlling power if they start speculating that he was the ultimate killer of the past and wondering about his association with Widow
