YA Lit Meme: [7/10] Series or Books » The Iron Fey by Julie Kagawa

On my sixth birthday, my father took me to the park, one of my favorite places to go at that time. It was a lonely little park in the middle of nowhere, with a running trail and a misty green pond surrounded by pine trees. We were at the edge of the pond, feeding the ducks, when I heard the jingle of an ice cream truck in the parking lot over the hill. When I begged my dad to get me a Creamsicle, he laughed, handed me a few bills, and sent me after the truck. That was the last time I saw him. (…) Not long after my father’s disappearance, Mom moved us far away, to a tiny little hick town in the middle of the Louisiana bayou. Mom said she wanted to “start over,” but I always knew, deep down, that she was running from something. It would be another ten years before I discovered what.

“Well,” the knight said slowly as if trying to assure the girl. The key word was ‘trying’. “It’s simply the true….I’m sorry….”

[thejabberfly-blog]

Rye found his words rather odd despite the situation. “You are sorry?” She tilted her head, resisting the urge to take a step towards him. “Are you sorry for existing or something else entirely?”

[theironbabysitter]

“For something....” his words drifted away, blinking at the sudden change that was brought about the curious girl’s question. But on the other hand, faeries did tend to mess with words if they willed it - that has all Circuit has ever known.

“Oh, you know what I mean.”

[theironbabysitter]

"That’s going to bruise."

Between the moments where he was slightly dazed and then recovering, Circuit placed a hand on the blooming black and blue at the corner of his lips. He blinked at the slight sting - just blinked.

“And what did you do that for?!”

[wonder-and-underland-deactivate]

“I shouldn’t break any treaty–I am not of any court.” Morpheus frowned, brow furrowing. “My world is not this own–not yours.”

[theironbabysitter]

“Well,” Circuit muttered with a slow nod. If he presents that argument if they ever do get into trouble, perhaps it would be enough to spare the both of them any more trouble.

“Come this way then.”

{ The attempt of conversation from Circuit snapped the princess out of her thoughts. She realized that the entire trip had been filled with silence. That being said, Ari didn’t feel like delving into idle chatter. At least not where others can hear. She gave a curt nod and continued on down the hallway. }

{ She approached her doorway and pushed it open, pushing her door stopper to keep it open. With a wave of her hand, she welcomed the Fey into her room. }

{ Which was unusually dark. The that curtains were never down, blocked any and all sunlight from entering. The princess made her way over to her vanity chair and sat down. She turned her beryl irises toward Circuit, deciding to finally speak. }

“Out with it. What do you want? Why isn’t Glitch here?”

[theironbabysitter]

{Perhaps, the knight was beginning to think, he should have stayed quiet - let the day drag on and let things fall into plays with out him meddling at all. However, that would serve both of them a lot of awkward tension and there was only so much he and the princess could take.}

{He cleared his throat, positioning his hands behind his back - the proper stance of a knight with his lady or lord. Now he really wondered if he should say anything. However, what’s done has been done and he already started speaking. He cheeks turned pink and he hoped she didn’t notice.}

“Well, to be partly honest, he lost a bet and now I am here.”

“Uh....well....”

“Didn’t quite see you there.”

There was a story, Circuit was certain, that came with the fact the stranger placed him far from other beings. There just had to be, and hopefully the knight would be able to get it from the prince if he was only willing to speak.

With one last look behind him, Circuit stepped through the portal, wishing Kierran was really on the other side.

[impassivespellbinder-deactivate]

In truth, Fiore had only put Kierran so far away from the other occupants of their domain for the safety of the young prince. There was a number of both solitary and exiled fae living in Fiore’s realm, most would likely jump at the chance to get their hands on such a person as the iron prince, so Fiore had put him out of the way and had set wards to keep others away.

They step through the portal after Circuit, directing the portal itself to drop them out in the same location it had dropped Kierran.

[theironbabysitter]

He stumbled upon landing on the other side of the portal - his foot almost got caught on the door he had just entered. But never mind that, the knight thought, he had better things to think about. 

Due to instinct and training, Circuit began to survey the area, taking in what he can before he got hopelessly confused. He blinked and turned back.

“Where are we....”

[theironbabysitter]

"That’s going to bruise."

Between the moments where he was slightly dazed and then recovering, Circuit placed a hand on the blooming black and blue at the corner of his lips. He blinked at the slight sting - just blinked.

“And what did you do that for?!”

[theironbabysitter]

The knight nodded. There was a clocktower at the highest tower in the palace - the one that told the whole kingdom what hour of the day it was with chimes that sounded the announcement with clarity.

However the main problem was it: it was in the palace.

“Sir, do you plan on searching there….” he hoped the answer to be a ‘no’.

[wonder-and-underland-deactivate]

“Absolutely.” Morpheus replied stubbornly. He had to find Alice before Ivory went to visit the manor and discovered them both missing. 

[theironbabysitter]

Circuit bowed his head down in defeat - of course, he should have expected. And if he was in the man’s place, he would firmly answer the same thing.

“Might I warn you again, it is in the palace - you could be seen breaking the treaty of the courts.”

Circut and Kenzie BFFs

[theironbabysitter]

“That’s exactly it. I-” He stopped before he could finish his sentence or continue any further - Kenzie probably had an idea already of what has happened. And should anyone be surprised by now? His life routine would be incomplete with a missing Iron Prince penciled in his schedule.

Circuit sighed, running his fingers through his hair then bowing his head lowly in what seemed like defeat to the knight.

“Am I really cut out being a knight? It seems like all I’ve been doing is messing up, you know.”

[mackenziestchase-deactivated201]

“You’re a wonderful knight.”  Kenzie said, putting a reassuring hand on his shoulder.  Where was the last place you saw him?  Where could he possibly be?”  She asked.  He had to be somewhere.  Keirran may be good at running, but he really wasn’t good at hiding.

“Is there anyone you could go to that might have seen him?  Does the castle have video surveillance?”

[theironbabysitter]

“Abraxas....” the knight breathed unconsciously upon hearing the last question the other asked. He shook his head, trying to bring himself back to reality and think with a clear mind. He cleared his throat.

“I’m sorry, wait- Abraxas has some surveillance, and I think he did mention putting a tracking device on Keirran of some sort....” Circuit’s face turned bitter a bit - he remembered being extremely about that fact. “He’d never let me touch his stuff, but I think I can pull some strings.” after all, he wasn’t an Iron fey for nothing.

{ Once the idea of the Elysium brought her great joy. A spectacle of different Fey meeting at a grand ball to dance and drink. Sure it was all a facade to cover that it held the yearly treaty negotiations between the rulers of Nevernever, but that never bothered her.

Now the charm melted and with all the things that happened, Ari found herself less than willing to attend. No doubt her parents needed her there to be a better role than Kierran. Which wasn’t hard. Still, she’d rather not put on her mask and play nice with the purebloods. }

“..Very well.”

{ After all, the princess must always be a good daughter. Loyal. Beautiful. Perfect. }

[theironbabysitter]

{Ari’s room was always a frequent spot Circuit passed by but never entered. Of course, the idea of entering was already simply impossible and scandalous as it was- however, Circuit never failed to take note of it.} {The walk was not long but it was indeed incredibly quiet} {perhaps even painfully quiet}

”We’re all walking on eggshells today, don’t you think?” {There point in beating around the bush. Circuit knew too well that the princess was too sensible and too aware for things like that.}
