Thanks to a lot of rest―and one of Orion’s tonics―I was finally recharged. The time I had spent in the mortal world completely drained me. I definitely wasn’t in any condition to take on Valac and his rogue elementals. And if I had taken on Marcus’s father, I have no doubt he would’ve killed me. It’s hard for me to believe my best friend was now the leader of the Gabriel Hounds. When I defeat Valac and reclaim the throne, he will sit by my side in the council. Marcus will be an equal in every way. I strolled down the sandy coast for hours while the sun warmed my face. I wanted to get my head sorted before I returned to the fire court. I had a lot I needed to work out. The most important was my upcoming meeting with the remaining fire elementals. Xavier had sent out word of my return. I had no idea how the members of my court would feel. Whether they would choose to embrace me as their new leader or wish for my death. They were likely fed plenty of lies by Valac.
