attempting to help. There was no doubt in her mind that they were dark elves because she was seeing past their glamour. Elora imagined it was probably not airline policy for their employees to have long hair flowing freely whipping in all directions in the wind where it could get caught in something. She also thought that it was probably not acceptable for their employees to carry swords and daggers at their sides.
    Elora turned to find Cush. She didn’t have to look too hard. He was about twenty feet away leaning against a pillar, completely unaware of the affect he was having on the people around him. The men were looking at him warily as though at any moment he was going to reach out and grab one of them by the throat, and the women were looking at him like he was the juiciest steak they’d ever seen. It would have been funny if she wasn’t worried about the dark elves sabotaging their plane. She motioned for him to come over and then unabashedly enjoyed the view of his large frame moving so gracefully through the crowd. People got out of his way without him ever having to say anything. Elora was sure at any moment someone was going to roll a red carpet out in front of him. She snorted to herself at the image in her mind.
    “What’s the smirk for?” Cush asked once he was standing in front of her. His eyes were focused only on her. She knew that he was aware of their surroundings and he constantly watched for threats, but somehow he never took his eyes off her.
    “Are you completely oblivious to the reaction of people around you?” Realizing that now was not the time to boost his ego, she shook her head and waved a hand in front of him. “Scratch that. I wanted you to come over here so you could see that.” She turned and pointed at what was beyond the window to where she’d seen the elves. Are you freaking kidding me?” she huffed. They were gone.
    “What’s wrong, Elora? What did you see?” Cush asked her in the voice he always used when he expected obedience.
    “There were three dark elves out there. They were running around just like the other workers, looking as though they were helping, but I saw past their glamour. I don’t know what they were doing but I would bet my big left—”
    “Little Raven,” Cush said in warning.
    She looked up at him with wide, innocent eyes. “I was going to say my big left toe. Where exactly is your mind, oh great warrior?”
    “Quit distracting me, woman,” he growled as he took her hand and led her back over to where their group was still lounging.
    Elora could tell that they all new immediately something was wrong just by looking at Cush. His face was hard granite as his jaw clenched and his brow lowered over his seething eyes.
    “What’s wrong?” Syndra asked as she stood.
    “Elora saw dark elves out by the plane that we are supposed to board,” Cush explained. “For some reason I don’t think it’s a coincidence.”
    Oakley pinched the bridge of his nose as he let out a frustrated sigh. “How is this guy staying one step ahead of us?”
    “Trik was not Lorsan’s only spy,” Syndra told him. “He just happened to be his most talented.”
    “So what’s the plan?” Lisa asked as she joined the others all now standing.
    Cush looked at Syndra with narrowed eyes. “It’s time you proved just how powerful you are.”
    Syndra’s head tilted ever so slightly to the side and a crooked smile twitched her full lips. “What exactly do you have in mind, warrior?”
     
     

     
    T ony sat in the living room of Cassie’s parent’s house with Rin, the light elf warrior sitting across from him. Trik and Tamsin were making some last minute plans. Cassie had disappeared from the room after telling the other group goodbye and they hadn’t seen her since. After having been employed by the dark elves his whole life, he knew what they were capable of. If his parents had been taken by one of them, he’d be just as terrified as Cassie. He had thought about
