I'd expected to find Sprite here too, but these other Faeries seemed more official than that. They were still tiny, of course, but two wore golden crowns on their heads, with the third looking curiously identical to Gil.
'Jake Goodwin, meet my sister, Llorin,' she then waved to the other Faeries. 'Meet Inadrin of the Grey Palace and Polos of the Council of Elders.'
I bowed and urged my friends in the Crimson Guard to do the same. 'It is an honour.'
They all looked at Gil for answers; it was almost as if they were expecting a much colder reception than the one they'd just received. 'You'd told me the Guide was poised to claim our would-be recruits-'
Gil swept in front of Polos. 'Jake Goodwin opened these cages; he released the people of Arkadia,' the Faerie flipped to face me next. 'What did you do with Erica Knowles? She will tell us all we need to know.'
