Three Strikes
Anita Louise in Max Reinhardt and William Dieterle’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream (1935).
Vivien Leigh as Titania in “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” at the Old Vic Theatre in London, 1937.
Shakespeare’s Titania is a very proud creature and as much of a force to contend with as her husband Oberon. She and Oberon are engaged in a marital quarrel over which of them should have the keeping of an Indian changeling boy. This quarrel is the engine that drives the mix ups and confusion of the other characters in the play.
Bloody Dark AUs
Killer Couple; This is not your average love story. They were young, they were dumb, and they were psycho. It started out with the killing of her/his parents. They didn’t want them together, so the old folks had to go. After that, there was a thrill inside them. They wanted to do it again.
Nightmare: Constantly haunted by nightmares, muse A is starting to see things in reality. Horrible images of things that don’t seem to go away. Muse B sees that there is something wrong and offers their help. But Muse A is scared, all the images are starting to tell them to kill Muse B. It’s clear the nightmares are starting to take control.
Horror Film: Just like in a horror film, a group of teenagers go out to a cabin/party for some fun. They don’t intend to do anything right and want to make all the wrong choices. But the fun is cut short when they notice they’re is an unwanted guest who is hacking off everyone in ways no one should see. All they have to do is survive the night. But that’s not going to be easy.
Beast: Muse A is cursed, forced to turn every full moon. They become a beast unable to control. Because of this they’re isolated themselves. They’re world came crashing down when the beast killed someone (Sister/brother/mother/lover/etc/). But, Muse B stumbles upon Muse A and is curious and stuck. All Muse A can do is try not to get close in fear they’re die too.
If anyone wants, I’ll do any of these
Pester my character about their crush or special other!
Tease them, provoke them, put their head in the gutter — try to get them hot, flustered, and begging for mercy. Go!

OOC: (is anyone interested in rpying with me? Anyone? :x)
Entertainment
She was sitting in her chamber, staring at her reflection in the mirror. The face she saw was gifted with sensational beauty and still she couldn't find the light in her eyes.
It has been a while, since something happened in the summer court and with every day she became more unbalanced, asked for more faery wine and let the cheap peasants dance, until they fell dead to the ground.
Rising with determination, she nodded to her guard, who opened up the door for her.
It is time to find something exciting, something to amuse me. Perhaps a talented human, or a naive fey with remarkable skills.
Gracefully, she strolled into the entrance hall and all the fey, who have been dancing, singing and playing stopped in their move and looked at the queen. Then they all bowed with respect, except for one person who stood with the back to her, not realizing Titania was present.
OOC: I'm so sorry
For being inactive for so long, I had a very lazy time, but the writing love kicked in again and I hope some of you will like to RP with me again :)
Kenzie sat in the cell for a week before Titania returned to her. She became stronger from medicines and her glamour was also getting stronger. When Titania returned Kenzie was elated. She smiled and waved to her queen as she entered her cell, something hidden behind…
Kenzie stared at the pot for a few minutes, thinking of a beautiful flower. She closed her eyes and put her hands together, trying to summon the magic within her. When she opened her eyes and looked at the pot she saw a beautiful flower in the soil. Titania smiled down at her and Kenzie couldn’t help but smile as well.
Titania looked at Kenzie and then, a dyrad came into the cell with them. ”My queen, I have heard from one of our spies that the Iron queen now knows that the girl is missing and may send a search party. What shall we do?” Kenzie looked at the flower while Titania turned at answer the worried fey.
The seelie queen looked satisfied at the dryad and demanded:” Give them some clear hints on where the mortal is and when they find out tell them I like to make a deal with them and the girl is wholesome.”
With that Titania immediatly ignored the summer feary again and clapped for Kenzie.
“Really good! You can use it, that means you’re ready for the mission. Let’s get you out of this cell first and into my throne room, I have there something I need you to have.”
Kenzie stood up and followed her queen. The halls they were going through were filled with servants who stared after them and whispered to each other with an devilish expression, after bowing for their queen. Then they finally arrived their designation and Titania sat down on her glorious throne before flicking her fingers. Some fearys, carrying something huge hidden under a red cloth, appeared and placed their load infront of Kenzie.
Kenzie was so glad to know that her queen was proud of her and had something to show her in the throne room. As she walked down the halls she heard some of the servants look at them, and she heard them whisper things like ‘Isn’t that the mortal from the Iron court?’ and ‘She is the one who tried to fight Titania before, how is she still alive?’ Kenzie only ignored these fey and followed her queen.
Titania led her into the throne room and ordered some faeries to place a load of something at her feet. ”Well, first off, I think that something was used to make her do that.” Kenzie heard from behind her, she turned her head to see to guards in the corner across the room. ”Titania always uses spells and potions to make mortals to do these kinds of things. Just look at the girl.” One of them said. Kenzie noticed that Titania had not been able to hear them, she must have good hearing then.
She rounded up some glamour and sent vines to wrap around the guards and drag them towards her queen. They screamed with terror until they were placed at the foot of the throne, Titania looked pleased. ”I heard them talking poorly of their queen, my lady.” Kenzie said as looked up at Titania.
Titabnia looked at Kenzie first surprised then overly pleased. She made a little move with her finger and got control of Kenzie’s vines which grew throrns suddenly and pierced through the guards. They cried out in pain but the queen ignored them and smiled at the mortal girl.
“Well done, human. You really proved yourself. I will replace the guards with people who know how to treat their queen. Now please open the box.”
The beautiful blonde pointed at the load and couldn’t hide her impatience. Kenzie did as she was told and opened her “gift”.
There were pictures, clothes and other items she could slightly remember. Things she used to own at her home in the mortal world. A photo with her father caught her eye and she stared at it.
Titania observed her new toy with puckered lips and a alert eye. If the items of her human life would break some old feeling free, Kenzie wouldn’t pass the test.
Kenzie looked in her “gift” and saw many things in it. She picked up a photo with a girl and a man, ”This is me in the photo, or is it someone else?” Kenzie wondered to herself. She put the photo down and looked at many other things in the box, so many…mortal things. Kenzie looked at each item quickly and then looked up at Titania, “Who is the girl in this photo?” She wanted to ask her queen, but decided against it and instead, ripped the photo in front of her. Seeing the smile on Titania’s face grow bigger, she knew she did the right thing.
“Dear, would you keep the things or burn them?”, the gorgeous regina asked just to be sure. Kenzie spotted the nearest torch and grabbed it, without any restraint she made the things catching fire, they lit up the room in an eerie way, this effect only got stronger when Titania laughed joyful.
“You passed! That means you are ready for the mission. Do you still remember Meghan Chase, the Iron Queen?”
Kenzie shook her head. She remembered Meghan, but she had no idea why she did. ”What does that mean my queen? What will I have to do?” Kenzie was so eager to please her queen she would do almost anything. Titania smiled and rose from her throne, yelling at two fey to come and take the burning items from the room. She walked next to Kenzie and turned her around to face the back wall. There, Kenzie saw a large portrait of Titania on the wall. ”You see dear, I am the prettiest queen of them all. Meghan thinks she can try and be better than me, but I must show her that she is wrong. Will you help me with that?”
Kenzie smiled up at her queen and nodded her head. Titania smiled and patted Kenzie’s shoulder.
Knowing that this human totally obeyed her now, Titania felt more than proud of herself. She reached into a hidden pocket in her dress and put out a little vial with an glowing purple juice, a mixture which would cause the Iron Queen some serious problems with herself. The blonde beauty slipped the vial into Kenzie’s hands like it was the most precious thing on earth. The next words were spoken with a huge wave of powerful glamour to give them more intensity:
“Then, my dear mortal, you are ready to go. Meet the iron fearys in the wyldwood, they were searching for you for some time now. Act as if you terribly want to meet the Iron Queen because you found out that the summer court will do something very monstrously and only Meghan Chase is allowed to find out what it is. When you are in the iron castle and get the opportunity to talk with her, you must say that this juice is gonna show her what you found out. As soon as she has taken the potion you must flee and come back to the summer court and report me the exact process of your meeting. This is an important mission and if you truly love me as your queen, you will do it.”
Kenzie took the vial and hid it in her shirt. Only she will know about it when she leaves. She walked out into the forest with some of the summer fey that Titaina sent with her. After twenty minutes of nothing they saw some Iron faeries in the forest ahead of them. Kenzie told the summer fey to leave her and they did. Then she ran over to the guards screaming. ”ITS ME! ITS MACKENZIE! YOU MUST TAKE ME TO MEGHAN!” Kenzie landed next to a guard and almost knocked him over. The other guards gasped and looked around to see if anyone was following her. ”There’s no time to check for them just get me to Meghan. I have to tell her something!” The guards put her ontop of a horse with another guard and they took off with great speed. The other guards walked back to stop anyone on foot coming after them.
Once Kenzie was back in the Iron court she was sent into a conference room to wait for Meghan. She told the guard who brought back that she must speak to the Iron queen and only her. He agreed and left her there to go and find Meghan. While she was alone, Kenzie pulled out the vial of the purple juice. She played with it in her hands, and wanting to smell the juice. She didn’t dare do so since it was to be put into Meghan’s drink. She waited for so long for Meghan she fell asleep in the chair she was sitting in. She wondered what her queen was doing back in the Seelie court.
The moment Kenzie was out of the court Titania felt constricted. If the plan would go wrong it could bring war between the summer and iron court, so the queen had put many lives into the responsebility of a mortal girl!
The more she thought about it, the more the feared queen felt like she did something utterly stupit and destructive. She wandered around the castle like a trapped tiger and hissed harsh at her guards when they asked her what was going on.
The potion in the vial was a very powerful and old mixture which would take on the mind of the person who drank it and twist the memories and personality. Also it could block the glamour. And it was made of the best and longest bred ingredients of the seelie court, which meant that whoever even smelled the slightest bit of it was compelled to drink it.
Kenzie woke up in the chair from a small servant tapping her shoulder. He looked at her with large eyes and said, “The Iron queen Meghan will be with you shortly.” Just then Meghan walked through the door. ”Leave the poor girl alone. How long have you been there watching her? Go play with some wires or something.” Meghan seemed on edge about something. When the door closed she wrapped Kenzie up in a hug. ”Thank goodness we found you! We have all been worried sick about you MacKenzie.” Kenzie lightly tapped the shoulder of Meghan and began to feel that she couldn’t do what she was sent to do. She had to though, it was for her queen, yet, something in her made her think that maybe Titania is not all that truthful.
Meghan sat down in a chair next to Kenzie and folded her legs. ”So, what was it that you needed to tell me about the Summer queen? Are you thirsty? Have some water.” With that Meghan pulled out two glasses of water out of glamour and handed one to Kenzie. She stared at the cup, it was almost as if something was directing this so that she could give Meghan the purple juice.
Kenzie felt her hands become sweaty and she looked up at the Iron queen, “She is planning something bad Meghan, something so terribly bad. I don’t know if I can now say it.” Meghan placed a caring hand on her knee, “It’s alright. You’re safe now, she can’t hurt you anymore.” Kenzie sighed and felt the vial inside of her shirt, she wondered if there was a bulge in her shirt to reveal it. She circled the top of her glass with a finger. ”She is planning on doing something to you. I only got a small part of what she said, I didn’t get big details. But she is planning on doing something. I think she even sent a spy.” Meghan laughed and leaned into her chair, “But, no summer faery can enter here unless they are half-mortal, and she hates those, or if they are morta—” Meghan looked at Kenzie for the first time really. She saw the slight glassy coating over her eyes to show that something was up. ”MacKenzie, what is going on?” Meghan said rising to her feet.
Kenzie jumped up and tried to get out the door but when she opened in, Ash was standing there. He must have been waiting for Meghan to come out. ”Ash grab her! She’s brainwashed!” Kenzie just missed Ash’s grasp and ran down the hall. She had to get rid of the evidence of why she came here. She hid in a small, dark corner and took the vial from her shirt. She opened it up and smelled it. The juice was so intoxicating that she didn’t even think but drank the whole thing down. Just as Ash found her, he saw what she had done. Kenzie fainted right on the spot, and began to slowly vanish, her particles shooting back to a cell in the dungeon of Titania’s home.
When she felt that something appeared in the cell she had prepared for Meghan, the summer queen smiled victorious while making her way to the Iron Queen. She opened the cell and let some impressing glamour wave through the air.
“So finallly you are here, Queen of th….WHAT DID YOU DO?!!! ARGH! I KNEW IT! You’re nothing but a worthless mortal!”
Kenzie looked up at Titania, and stared into her eyes. ”I am sorry. I just couldn’t do it. I had to get out of there or they would have captured me and it never would have gotten done.” For some reason Kenzie felt as though her loyalty to Titania was slowly slipping away and she was remembering that she had been kidnapped. She knew that Titania was a liar but decided to keep it inside and hide it, to see what other damage she could do. ”I don’t want you here, you pathetic mortal.” Titania barked, “You can leave now and discover the wyldwood. Guards! Take her away and make sure she can’t find her way home.” Just then two men came and grabbed Kenzie by the arms, dragging her out to the edge of the Seelie court, and threw her on the ground. ”Get out. Or Titania will make a fine toy out of you.” One of the guards warned her. Kenzie got up and started to walk forward. Not knowing what to do.
Titania turned around and left the cell, she immediatly forgot the existance of the human girl and concentrated on making a new revenge plan for Meghan. But the Iron Queen knew now that she was planning something, so she had to create a plan which was hardly to see through.
While leaving the catacombs of the summer prison, the seelie queen heard Kenzie’s fight screams as she tried to get away from the guards. Well, maybe the queen couldn’t forget that quickly. She would keep an eye on the girl and use her powers to see which way Kenzie would go as soon as she was in the wyldwood.
As Kenzie started to walk around she thought something, or someone, was following her and turned around to check every ten minutes. She hugged herself and sat on the ground, whispering to herself. Maybe if she had some glamour left inside of her she could figure out a way home. Whispering about the Iron court and thinking of the castle of Meghan, she felt the air around her change. When she opened her eyes she saw that she was in a swirl of colors and closed them tight again, never stopping her thoughts of the castle.
She stopped spinning and opened her eyes again. She saw that she was in a lone hallway in the castle. She got up and headed in the direction she was facing, not knowing who she would run into. She found herself near the corner where she drank the purple juice. Quickly, Kenzie raced up to the room she had waited for Meghan in. When she burst through the door she only saw one man, a boy around her age.
He looked at her with ashtonishment. ”Kenzie, what do you think you are doing back here?” Something in the back of her mind told her who this was. ”Keirran, I came here to help your mom. Where is she?” Keirran got up from the table and went to leave the room. ”Why would you care? You tried to kill her.” ”That’s only because I was brainwashed!” Kenzie screamed at the Iron prince, “Didn’t you hear about that part? Please, just tell me where Meghan is.” Keirran sighed and placed a hand on his forehead. ”She left with Ash and Ethan to see Titania and stop her. Come with me. We’ll go and stop them together I guess.” Kenzie chased after Keirran as they got onto horses and raced back into the wyldwood, going to stop Meghan, Ash, and Ethan (who she felt some strong towards when she thought of him) from death.
The guards came rushing into one of Titania’s private rooms. She got up and wished to know why they would dare to break her privacy, when they told her the reason she went pale. Meghan Chase was on her way to the summer court, most likely to break a war loose and the guilt came over the queen like a waterfall. She might be arrogant and self centered but she also loved her court, more than anything.
“I will meet her before she can enter the realm to go the diplomatic way. Try to find out where my husband is and tell him about what’s happening.”, she advised and got on her way.
Kenzie and Keirran rode fast on their way to get to the others. They finally saw them about 30 yards ahead of them. Keirran stopped Kenzie from going any further towards them. ”What are you doing? We have to help them.” she said, not caring if her voice was raising. Keirran looked at her, “Because, Titania is right in front of them and I really don’t think that you want to see her at the moment.” Kenzie looked over and saw that Titania was in fact, standing in front of them. The first person to speak was Meghan. ”Titania, what have you done?” Titania’s smile didn’t move.
The beautiful blonde queen looked at Meghan with an stone-statue smile, not showing any emotion beside being aloof.
“What do you mean, dear Iron Queen? I didn’t do anything. I fact I can’t do anything to you since I’m not able to enter your realm.”, she chanted. Meghan’s aura showed the anger which gre with every word Titania said.
“Don’t act so innocent. You did send Kenzie to me so she could attack me. Why are you still doing this? Don’t you brealize how many people you get in danger with your selfishness?”, the iron queen reasoned sharply and the seelie queen cringed a bit which made her smile even more faked. She couldn’t listen to those words long, one way or another she’d snap and that would end badly.
“Keirran we have to go stop them!” Kenzie yelled at the prince that just sat on his horse watching. He turned his head to look at her, “What could we do?” He was obviously scared for his mom. Kenzie knew she had to do something. She jumped off her horse and ran over to where they were, only to be tripped by a root that grew out of nowhere. Keirran appeared next to her. ”If you want to help my mom,” he whispered, “then you will be quiet and follow me.” She got up and followed him, they were going around the fight. As Titania and Meghan battled in out with words, Keirran and Kenzie were walking around until they were behind the Summer queen. Who was surprisingly only followed by one guard. Keirran used glamour to stop the guard from talking and her snuck up behind Titania. ”Hello, grandma.” You could see the aura around the Summer queen turn from anger to surprise, and then to both before she turned to face them.
“So this is your mix-blood child, iron queen. He doesn’t seems like an world destroyer like the prophecy said. But that doesn’t mean anything. And little boy I’m not your grandmother, I won’t ever be a grandmother ew! You’re only related to my husband who’s biggest mistake was to have this affair with this mortal bitch. But we shouldn’t chat around, should we? What did you intend with this surprise, prince of the irion court? And I can remember I told you to gest lost, human girl!”, the queen hissed while her glamour waved around her in visible streams. Meghan looked worried at her son and tensed.
Kenzie could sense how Meghan was worrying about them. She stood in front of Keirran to face Titania. ”I will not listen to you anymore. You are no longer my queen, so I can come here if I so please.” This did it. With one shift motion the Summer queen sent Kenzie flying into a tree. From there she saw Ethan become very angry, but Meghan held him back. ”Titania stop this now! I only came to tell you to stop this madness, not start a war with you.” Meghan growled at the Summer queen. She saw Ash slowly move to be closer to Keirran and out of Titania’s line of sight.
With a quick motion, a root of a tree wrapped around Titania and it then became covered with frost. Titania screamed in terror and pain. Ash walked closer, “See, this is not what we wanted to do.” And with that he and Keirran used their glamour to leave her there in the dirt. Letting the frost in a certain amount of time. Ethan came over and picked Kenzie up, carrying her on his horse. In a swift motion of thought all her memories of him came back to her, and she curled up against his chest.
Titania was shocked at first but then she got still. Very still. The others seemed to forget that she was a queen, older than Cleopatra and more powerful than this mix-breed. She could kill them all in no time if she wanted, but it was just too amusing how they thought they could take her down so she acted like she was fearing them, just waiting for the right moment for her suprise.
“Do you think it is smart to throw ME in the dirt, young boy?! It’s not like you’d fight off an usual opponent. I AM THE SEELIE QUEEN! And right now there are the sharpest thorns of the summer court directly under your feet, waiting for a move of me to pierce right through you and you can’t get the control of them since they were made with the strongest magic here and bound to my blood.”, the now scary beauty mumbled while loking at her ruined dress. Of course Keirran would try to take care of those thorns now and in that time she’d play her true move.
As the band of people trotted back to the Iron court, they heard Titania call out something. All of them became on edge, after all this is her forest. They walked for a long time when Meghan’s horse was hit by a thorn hitting it’s hoof and almost sent Meghan to the thorn-covered ground. Luckily Keirran was right there and caught his mother by her arm and helped her up onto his horse. They all stayed perfectly still as they watched thorns grow all around them and move to face the now poor victims. From somewhere in the distance, they heard the mad laugh of the Summer queen.
This was it! Her chance to kill the iron queen. She laughed madly and wanted to make her next move, but then the earth started to quake and the thorns turned into harmless flowers. There was just ONE person in the Nevernever who was able to do that. Just one person Titania had missed but was also mad to see. Oberon.
He sat on his horse, the power waving around him like a coat in the wind. His golden eyes stared at his wife with surppressed anger. His voice was calm even though his emotions were seemigly am explosion of indignation.
“My lovely wife. What were you planning to do to my daughter and queen of the new born realm?”, he asked softly while leading his horse to the blonde. She looked at him firstly bewildered, then she felt a sting in her chest. She was always so full of her hate and anger but as soon as she saw her husband, she started to understand him. But still she needed to keep her imagine of the ruthless queen:
“I was planning my revenge for you, husband. Because you broke my heart years ago and it’s still broken, thirsty to kill the child which should have never been born!”
Still calm, the seelie king dismounted from his huge sorrel and planted himself infront of his queen, before saying with a huge glamour-echo:
“The child which killed the iron kings and turned this new kind of fey into possible allies! The child who saved the whole Nevernever including your life and mine!”
Titania looked at the ground like an insulted child.
They all sat with gaping mouths as Oberon came down from the hill. Meghan watched him as he walked past her without a glance. Ash came up next to Keirran and her and the three of them walked over to the fighting couple. Kenzie looked up at Titania and saw her child-like face. “Titania, you need to put this behind you. If Meghan was never alive, you would have died by now from the hands of the iron fey.” Oberon said with a caring voice, placing a hand on hers. She looked up and saw the other frightened faces behind him.
Meghan hopped off of her horse and walked over to the Seelie queen and king. ”Titania, if you let us leave without any harm, I will promise you will only see me when absolutely necessary for you to do so.” Ash walked closer to Meghan but she put out a hand to stop him. Titania saw this gesture of Meghan not wanting protection while standing next to her. She looked back to Kenzie, who was still sitting with Ethan. They stared into each others eyes. Something snapped inside Kenzie and she felt weak. ”There,” Titania said, “she is cured. Now leave.” The Seelie queen looked at the Iron queen but she didn’t move.
"Meghan Chase I won't do anything to harm any of you these days. We'll meet again at the Elysium.", the summer queen announced and then turned away knowing they wouldn't dare to attack her. Oberon hesitated for some seconds while giving his daughter a meaningful look and then to Keirran, his grandson who he'd never seen until that day.
"Make your decisions wiseley, Iron Prince."
That were his last words before he followed his wife.

Kenzie sat in the cell for a week before Titania returned to her. She became stronger from medicines and her glamour was also getting stronger. When Titania returned Kenzie was elated. She smiled and waved to her queen as she entered her cell, something hidden behind…
Kenzie stared at the pot for a few minutes, thinking of a beautiful flower. She closed her eyes and put her hands together, trying to summon the magic within her.

Kenzie looked at each item quickly and then looked up at Titania, “Who is the girl in this photo?” She wanted to ask her queen, but decided against it and instead, ripped the photo in front of her.

Kenzie shook her head. She remembered Meghan, but she had no idea why she did. ”What does that mean my queen? What will I have to do?” Kenzie was so eager to please her queen she would do almost anything. Titania smiled and rose from her throne, yelling at two fey to come and take the burning items from the room. She walked next to Kenzie and turned her around to face the back wall. There, Kenzie saw a large portrait of Titania on the wall. ”You see dear, I am the prettiest queen of them all. Meghan thinks she can try and be better than me, but I must show her that she is wrong. Will you help me with that?”
Kenzie smiled up at her queen and nodded her head. Titania smiled and patted Kenzie’s shoulder.
Knowing that this human totally obeyed her now, Titania felt more than proud of herself. She reached into a hidden pocket in her dress and put out a little vial with an glowing purple juice, a mixture which would cause the Iron Queen some serious problems with herself. The blonde beauty slipped the vial into Kenzie’s hands like it was the most precious thing on earth. The next words were spoken with a huge wave of powerful glamour to give them more intensity:
“Then, my dear mortal, you are ready to go. Meet the iron fearys in the wyldwood, they were searching for you for some time now. Act as if you terribly want to meet the Iron Queen because you found out that the summer court will do something very monstrously and only Meghan Chase is allowed to find out what it is. When you are in the iron castle and get the opportunity to talk with her, you must say that this juice is gonna show her what you found out. As soon as she has taken the potion you must flee and come back to the summer court and report me the exact process of your meeting. This is an important mission and if you truly love me as your queen, you will do it.”
Kenzie took the vial and hid it in her shirt. Only she will know about it when she leaves. She walked out into the forest with some of the summer fey that Titaina sent with her. After twenty minutes of nothing they saw some Iron faeries in the forest ahead of them. Kenzie told the summer fey to leave her and they did. Then she ran over to the guards screaming. ”ITS ME! ITS MACKENZIE! YOU MUST TAKE ME TO MEGHAN!” Kenzie landed next to a guard and almost knocked him over. The other guards gasped and looked around to see if anyone was following her. ”There’s no time to check for them just get me to Meghan. I have to tell her something!” The guards put her ontop of a horse with another guard and they took off with great speed. The other guards walked back to stop anyone on foot coming after them.
Once Kenzie was back in the Iron court she was sent into a conference room to wait for Meghan. She told the guard who brought back that she must speak to the Iron queen and only her. He agreed and left her there to go and find Meghan. While she was alone, Kenzie pulled out the vial of the purple juice. She played with it in her hands, and wanting to smell the juice. She didn’t dare do so since it was to be put into Meghan’s drink. She waited for so long for Meghan she fell asleep in the chair she was sitting in. She wondered what her queen was doing back in the Seelie court.
The moment Kenzie was out of the court Titania felt constricted. If the plan would go wrong it could bring war between the summer and iron court, so the queen had put many lives into the responsebility of a mortal girl!
The more she thought about it, the more the feared queen felt like she did something utterly stupit and destructive. She wandered around the castle like a trapped tiger and hissed harsh at her guards when they asked her what was going on.
The potion in the vial was a very powerful and old mixture which would take on the mind of the person who drank it and twist the memories and personality. Also it could block the glamour. And it was made of the best and longest bred ingredients of the seelie court, which meant that whoever even smelled the slightest bit of it was compelled to drink it.
Kenzie woke up in the chair from a small servant tapping her shoulder. He looked at her with large eyes and said, “The Iron queen Meghan will be with you shortly.” Just then Meghan walked through the door. ”Leave the poor girl alone. How long have you been there watching her? Go play with some wires or something.” Meghan seemed on edge about something. When the door closed she wrapped Kenzie up in a hug. ”Thank goodness we found you! We have all been worried sick about you MacKenzie.” Kenzie lightly tapped the shoulder of Meghan and began to feel that she couldn’t do what she was sent to do. She had to though, it was for her queen, yet, something in her made her think that maybe Titania is not all that truthful.
Meghan sat down in a chair next to Kenzie and folded her legs. ”So, what was it that you needed to tell me about the Summer queen? Are you thirsty? Have some water.” With that Meghan pulled out two glasses of water out of glamour and handed one to Kenzie. She stared at the cup, it was almost as if something was directing this so that she could give Meghan the purple juice.
Kenzie felt her hands become sweaty and she looked up at the Iron queen, “She is planning something bad Meghan, something so terribly bad. I don’t know if I can now say it.” Meghan placed a caring hand on her knee, “It’s alright. You’re safe now, she can’t hurt you anymore.” Kenzie sighed and felt the vial inside of her shirt, she wondered if there was a bulge in her shirt to reveal it. She circled the top of her glass with a finger. ”She is planning on doing something to you. I only got a small part of what she said, I didn’t get big details. But she is planning on doing something. I think she even sent a spy.” Meghan laughed and leaned into her chair, “But, no summer faery can enter here unless they are half-mortal, and she hates those, or if they are morta—” Meghan looked at Kenzie for the first time really. She saw the slight glassy coating over her eyes to show that something was up. ”MacKenzie, what is going on?” Meghan said rising to her feet.
Kenzie jumped up and tried to get out the door but when she opened in, Ash was standing there. He must have been waiting for Meghan to come out. ”Ash grab her! She’s brainwashed!” Kenzie just missed Ash’s grasp and ran down the hall. She had to get rid of the evidence of why she came here. She hid in a small, dark corner and took the vial from her shirt. She opened it up and smelled it. The juice was so intoxicating that she didn’t even think but drank the whole thing down. Just as Ash found her, he saw what she had done. Kenzie fainted right on the spot, and began to slowly vanish, her particles shooting back to a cell in the dungeon of Titania’s home.
When she felt that something appeared in the cell she had prepared for Meghan, the summer queen smiled victorious while making her way to the Iron Queen. She opened the cell and let some impressing glamour wave through the air.
“So finallly you are here, Queen of th….WHAT DID YOU DO?!!! ARGH! I KNEW IT! You’re nothing but a worthless mortal!”
Kenzie looked up at Titania, and stared into her eyes. ”I am sorry. I just couldn’t do it. I had to get out of there or they would have captured me and it never would have gotten done.” For some reason Kenzie felt as though her loyalty to Titania was slowly slipping away and she was remembering that she had been kidnapped. She knew that Titania was a liar but decided to keep it inside and hide it, to see what other damage she could do. ”I don’t want you here, you pathetic mortal.” Titania barked, “You can leave now and discover the wyldwood. Guards! Take her away and make sure she can’t find her way home.” Just then two men came and grabbed Kenzie by the arms, dragging her out to the edge of the Seelie court, and threw her on the ground. ”Get out. Or Titania will make a fine toy out of you.” One of the guards warned her. Kenzie got up and started to walk forward. Not knowing what to do.
Titania turned around and left the cell, she immediatly forgot the existance of the human girl and concentrated on making a new revenge plan for Meghan. But the Iron Queen knew now that she was planning something, so she had to create a plan which was hardly to see through.
While leaving the catacombs of the summer prison, the seelie queen heard Kenzie’s fight screams as she tried to get away from the guards. Well, maybe the queen couldn’t forget that quickly. She would keep an eye on the girl and use her powers to see which way Kenzie would go as soon as she was in the wyldwood.
As Kenzie started to walk around she thought something, or someone, was following her and turned around to check every ten minutes. She hugged herself and sat on the ground, whispering to herself. Maybe if she had some glamour left inside of her she could figure out a way home. Whispering about the Iron court and thinking of the castle of Meghan, she felt the air around her change. When she opened her eyes she saw that she was in a swirl of colors and closed them tight again, never stopping her thoughts of the castle.
She stopped spinning and opened her eyes again. She saw that she was in a lone hallway in the castle. She got up and headed in the direction she was facing, not knowing who she would run into. She found herself near the corner where she drank the purple juice. Quickly, Kenzie raced up to the room she had waited for Meghan in. When she burst through the door she only saw one man, a boy around her age.
He looked at her with ashtonishment. ”Kenzie, what do you think you are doing back here?” Something in the back of her mind told her who this was. ”Keirran, I came here to help your mom. Where is she?” Keirran got up from the table and went to leave the room. ”Why would you care? You tried to kill her.” ”That’s only because I was brainwashed!” Kenzie screamed at the Iron prince, “Didn’t you hear about that part? Please, just tell me where Meghan is.” Keirran sighed and placed a hand on his forehead. ”She left with Ash and Ethan to see Titania and stop her. Come with me. We’ll go and stop them together I guess.” Kenzie chased after Keirran as they got onto horses and raced back into the wyldwood, going to stop Meghan, Ash, and Ethan (who she felt some strong towards when she thought of him) from death.
The guards came rushing into one of Titania’s private rooms. She got up and wished to know why they would dare to break her privacy, when they told her the reason she went pale. Meghan Chase was on her way to the summer court, most likely to break a war loose and the guilt came over the queen like a waterfall. She might be arrogant and self centered but she also loved her court, more than anything.
“I will meet her before she can enter the realm to go the diplomatic way. Try to find out where my husband is and tell him about what’s happening.”, she advised and got on her way.
Kenzie and Keirran rode fast on their way to get to the others. They finally saw them about 30 yards ahead of them. Keirran stopped Kenzie from going any further towards them. ”What are you doing? We have to help them.” she said, not caring if her voice was raising. Keirran looked at her, “Because, Titania is right in front of them and I really don’t think that you want to see her at the moment.” Kenzie looked over and saw that Titania was in fact, standing in front of them. The first person to speak was Meghan. ”Titania, what have you done?” Titania’s smile didn’t move.
The beautiful blonde queen looked at Meghan with an stone-statue smile, not showing any emotion beside being aloof.
“What do you mean, dear Iron Queen? I didn’t do anything. I fact I can’t do anything to you since I’m not able to enter your realm.”, she chanted. Meghan’s aura showed the anger which gre with every word Titania said.
“Don’t act so innocent. You did send Kenzie to me so she could attack me. Why are you still doing this? Don’t you brealize how many people you get in danger with your selfishness?”, the iron queen reasoned sharply and the seelie queen cringed a bit which made her smile even more faked. She couldn’t listen to those words long, one way or another she’d snap and that would end badly.
“Keirran we have to go stop them!” Kenzie yelled at the prince that just sat on his horse watching. He turned his head to look at her, “What could we do?” He was obviously scared for his mom. Kenzie knew she had to do something. She jumped off her horse and ran over to where they were, only to be tripped by a root that grew out of nowhere. Keirran appeared next to her. ”If you want to help my mom,” he whispered, “then you will be quiet and follow me.” She got up and followed him, they were going around the fight. As Titania and Meghan battled in out with words, Keirran and Kenzie were walking around until they were behind the Summer queen. Who was surprisingly only followed by one guard. Keirran used glamour to stop the guard from talking and her snuck up behind Titania. ”Hello, grandma.” You could see the aura around the Summer queen turn from anger to surprise, and then to both before she turned to face them.
“So this is your mix-blood child, iron queen. He doesn’t seems like an world destroyer like the prophecy said. But that doesn’t mean anything. And little boy I’m not your grandmother, I won’t ever be a grandmother ew! You’re only related to my husband who’s biggest mistake was to have this affair with this mortal bitch. But we shouldn’t chat around, should we? What did you intend with this surprise, prince of the irion court? And I can remember I told you to gest lost, human girl!”, the queen hissed while her glamour waved around her in visible streams. Meghan looked worried at her son and tensed.
Kenzie could sense how Meghan was worrying about them. She stood in front of Keirran to face Titania. ”I will not listen to you anymore. You are no longer my queen, so I can come here if I so please.” This did it. With one shift motion the Summer queen sent Kenzie flying into a tree. From there she saw Ethan become very angry, but Meghan held him back. ”Titania stop this now! I only came to tell you to stop this madness, not start a war with you.” Meghan growled at the Summer queen. She saw Ash slowly move to be closer to Keirran and out of Titania’s line of sight.
With a quick motion, a root of a tree wrapped around Titania and it then became covered with frost. Titania screamed in terror and pain. Ash walked closer, “See, this is not what we wanted to do.” And with that he and Keirran used their glamour to leave her there in the dirt. Letting the frost in a certain amount of time. Ethan came over and picked Kenzie up, carrying her on his horse. In a swift motion of thought all her memories of him came back to her, and she curled up against his chest.
Titania was shocked at first but then she got still. Very still. The others seemed to forget that she was a queen, older than Cleopatra and more powerful than this mix-breed. She could kill them all in no time if she wanted, but it was just too amusing how they thought they could take her down so she acted like she was fearing them, just waiting for the right moment for her suprise.
“Do you think it is smart to throw ME in the dirt, young boy?! It’s not like you’d fight off an usual opponent. I AM THE SEELIE QUEEN! And right now there are the sharpest thorns of the summer court directly under your feet, waiting for a move of me to pierce right through you and you can’t get the control of them since they were made with the strongest magic here and bound to my blood.”, the now scary beauty mumbled while loking at her ruined dress. Of course Keirran would try to take care of those thorns now and in that time she’d play her true move.
As the band of people trotted back to the Iron court, they heard Titania call out something. All of them became on edge, after all this is her forest. They walked for a long time when Meghan’s horse was hit by a thorn hitting it’s hoof and almost sent Meghan to the thorn-covered ground. Luckily Keirran was right there and caught his mother by her arm and helped her up onto his horse. They all stayed perfectly still as they watched thorns grow all around them and move to face the now poor victims. From somewhere in the distance, they heard the mad laugh of the Summer queen.
This was it! Her chance to kill the iron queen. She laughed madly and wanted to make her next move, but then the earth started to quake and the thorns turned into harmless flowers. There was just ONE person in the Nevernever who was able to do that. Just one person Titania had missed but was also mad to see. Oberon.
He sat on his horse, the power waving around him like a coat in the wind. His golden eyes stared at his wife with surppressed anger. His voice was calm even though his emotions were seemigly am explosion of indignation.
"My lovely wife. What were you planning to do to my daughter and queen of the new born realm?", he asked softly while leading his horse to the blonde. She looked at him firstly bewildered, then she felt a sting in her chest. She was always so full of her hate and anger but as soon as she saw her husband, she started to understand him. But still she needed to keep her imagine of the ruthless queen:
"I was planning my revenge for you, husband. Because you broke my heart years ago and it's still broken, thirsty to kill the child which should have never been born!"
Still calm, the seelie king dismounted from his huge sorrel and planted himself infront of his queen, before saying with a huge glamour-echo:
"The child which killed the iron kings and turned this new kind of fey into possible allies! The child who saved the whole Nevernever including your life and mine!"
Titania looked at the ground like an insulted child.
Kenzie sat in the cell for a week before Titania returned to her. She became stronger from medicines and her glamour was also getting stronger. When Titania returned Kenzie was elated. She smiled and waved to her queen as she entered her cell, something hidden behind…
Kenzie stared at the pot for a few minutes, thinking of a beautiful flower. She closed her eyes and put her hands together, trying to summon the magic within her. When she opened her eyes and looked at the pot she saw a beautiful flower in the soil. Titania smiled down at her and Kenzie couldn’t help but smile as well.
Titania looked at Kenzie and then, a dyrad came into the cell with them. ”My queen, I have heard from one of our spies that the Iron queen now knows that the girl is missing and may send a search party. What shall we do?” Kenzie looked at the flower while Titania turned at answer the worried fey.
The seelie queen looked satisfied at the dryad and demanded:” Give them some clear hints on where the mortal is and when they find out tell them I like to make a deal with them and the girl is wholesome.”
With that Titania immediatly ignored the summer feary again and clapped for Kenzie.
“Really good! You can use it, that means you’re ready for the mission. Let’s get you out of this cell first and into my throne room, I have there something I need you to have.”
Kenzie stood up and followed her queen. The halls they were going through were filled with servants who stared after them and whispered to each other with an devilish expression, after bowing for their queen. Then they finally arrived their designation and Titania sat down on her glorious throne before flicking her fingers. Some fearys, carrying something huge hidden under a red cloth, appeared and placed their load infront of Kenzie.
Kenzie was so glad to know that her queen was proud of her and had something to show her in the throne room. As she walked down the halls she heard some of the servants look at them, and she heard them whisper things like ‘Isn’t that the mortal from the Iron court?’ and ‘She is the one who tried to fight Titania before, how is she still alive?’ Kenzie only ignored these fey and followed her queen.
Titania led her into the throne room and ordered some faeries to place a load of something at her feet. ”Well, first off, I think that something was used to make her do that.” Kenzie heard from behind her, she turned her head to see to guards in the corner across the room. ”Titania always uses spells and potions to make mortals to do these kinds of things. Just look at the girl.” One of them said. Kenzie noticed that Titania had not been able to hear them, she must have good hearing then.
She rounded up some glamour and sent vines to wrap around the guards and drag them towards her queen. They screamed with terror until they were placed at the foot of the throne, Titania looked pleased. ”I heard them talking poorly of their queen, my lady.” Kenzie said as looked up at Titania.
Titabnia looked at Kenzie first surprised then overly pleased. She made a little move with her finger and got control of Kenzie’s vines which grew throrns suddenly and pierced through the guards. They cried out in pain but the queen ignored them and smiled at the mortal girl.
“Well done, human. You really proved yourself. I will replace the guards with people who know how to treat their queen. Now please open the box.”
The beautiful blonde pointed at the load and couldn’t hide her impatience. Kenzie did as she was told and opened her “gift”.
There were pictures, clothes and other items she could slightly remember. Things she used to own at her home in the mortal world. A photo with her father caught her eye and she stared at it.
Titania observed her new toy with puckered lips and a alert eye. If the items of her human life would break some old feeling free, Kenzie wouldn’t pass the test.
Kenzie looked in her “gift” and saw many things in it. She picked up a photo with a girl and a man, ”This is me in the photo, or is it someone else?” Kenzie wondered to herself. She put the photo down and looked at many other things in the box, so many…mortal things. Kenzie looked at each item quickly and then looked up at Titania, “Who is the girl in this photo?” She wanted to ask her queen, but decided against it and instead, ripped the photo in front of her. Seeing the smile on Titania’s face grow bigger, she knew she did the right thing.
“Dear, would you keep the things or burn them?”, the gorgeous regina asked just to be sure. Kenzie spotted the nearest torch and grabbed it, without any restraint she made the things catching fire, they lit up the room in an eerie way, this effect only got stronger when Titania laughed joyful.
“You passed! That means you are ready for the mission. Do you still remember Meghan Chase, the Iron Queen?”
Kenzie shook her head. She remembered Meghan, but she had no idea why she did. ”What does that mean my queen? What will I have to do?” Kenzie was so eager to please her queen she would do almost anything. Titania smiled and rose from her throne, yelling at two fey to come and take the burning items from the room. She walked next to Kenzie and turned her around to face the back wall. There, Kenzie saw a large portrait of Titania on the wall. ”You see dear, I am the prettiest queen of them all. Meghan thinks she can try and be better than me, but I must show her that she is wrong. Will you help me with that?”
Kenzie smiled up at her queen and nodded her head. Titania smiled and patted Kenzie’s shoulder.

She reached into a hidden pocket in her dress and put out a little vial with an glowing purple juice, a mixture which would cause the Iron Queen some serious problems with herself. The blonde beauty slipped the vial into Kenzie’s hands like it was the most precious thing on earth. The next words were spoken with a huge wave of powerful glamour to give them more intensity:
“Then, my dear mortal, you are ready to go. Meet the iron fearys in the wyldwood, they were searching for you for some time now. Act as if you terribly want to meet the Iron Queen because you found out that the summer court will do something very monstrously and only Meghan Chase is allowed to find out what it is. When you are in the iron castle and get the opportunity to talk with her, you must say that this juice is gonna show her what you found out. As soon as she has taken the potion you must flee and come back to the summer court and report me the exact process of your meeting.

Kenzie took the vial and hid it in her shirt. Only she will know about it when she leaves. She walked out into the forest with some of the summer fey that Titaina sent with her. After twenty minutes of nothing they saw some Iron faeries in the forest ahead of them. Kenzie told the summer fey to leave her and they did. Then she ran over to the guards screaming. ”ITS ME!

Kenzie and Keirran rode fast on their way to get to the others. They finally saw them about 30 yards ahead of them. Keirran stopped Kenzie from going any further towards them. ”What are you doing? We have to help them.” she said, not caring if her voice was raising. Keirran looked at her, “Because, Titania is right in front of them and I really don’t think that you want to see her at the moment.” Kenzie looked over and saw that Titania was in fact, standing in front of them. The first person to speak was Meghan. ”Titania, what have you done?” Titania’s smile didn’t move.
The beautiful blonde queen looked at Meghan with an stone-statue smile, not showing any emotion beside being aloof.
“What do you mean, dear Iron Queen? I didn’t do anything. I fact I can’t do anything to you since I’m not able to enter your realm.”, she chanted. Meghan’s aura showed the anger which gre with every word Titania said.
“Don’t act so innocent. You did send Kenzie to me so she could attack me. Why are you still doing this? Don’t you brealize how many people you get in danger with your selfishness?”, the iron queen reasoned sharply and the seelie queen cringed a bit which made her smile even more faked. She couldn’t listen to those words long, one way or another she’d snap and that would end badly.
“Keirran we have to go stop them!” Kenzie yelled at the prince that just sat on his horse watching. He turned his head to look at her, “What could we do?” He was obviously scared for his mom. Kenzie knew she had to do something. She jumped off her horse and ran over to where they were, only to be tripped by a root that grew out of nowhere. Keirran appeared next to her. ”If you want to help my mom,” he whispered, “then you will be quiet and follow me.” She got up and followed him, they were going around the fight. As Titania and Meghan battled in out with words, Keirran and Kenzie were walking around until they were behind the Summer queen. Who was surprisingly only followed by one guard. Keirran used glamour to stop the guard from talking and her snuck up behind Titania. ”Hello, grandma.” You could see the aura around the Summer queen turn from anger to surprise, and then to both before she turned to face them.
“So this is your mix-blood child, iron queen. He doesn’t seems like an world destroyer like the prophecy said. But that doesn’t mean anything. And little boy I’m not your grandmother, I won’t ever be a grandmother ew! You’re only related to my husband who’s biggest mistake was to have this affair with this mortal bitch. But we shouldn’t chat around, should we? What did you intend with this surprise, prince of the irion court? And I can remember I told you to gest lost, human girl!”, the queen hissed while her glamour waved around her in visible streams. Meghan looked worried at her son and tensed.
Kenzie could sense how Meghan was worrying about them. She stood in front of Keirran to face Titania. ”I will not listen to you anymore. You are no longer my queen, so I can come here if I so please.” This did it. With one shift motion the Summer queen sent Kenzie flying into a tree. From there she saw Ethan become very angry, but Meghan held him back. ”Titania stop this now! I only came to tell you to stop this madness, not start a war with you.” Meghan growled at the Summer queen. She saw Ash slowly move to be closer to Keirran and out of Titania’s line of sight.
With a quick motion, a root of a tree wrapped around Titania and it then became covered with frost. Titania screamed in terror and pain. Ash walked closer, “See, this is not what we wanted to do.” And with that he and Keirran used their glamour to leave her there in the dirt. Letting the frost in a certain amount of time. Ethan came over and picked Kenzie up, carrying her on his horse. In a swift motion of thought all her memories of him came back to her, and she curled up against his chest.
Titania was shocked at first but then she got still. Very still. The others seemed to forget that she was a queen, older than Cleopatra and more powerful than this mix-breed. She could kill them all in no time if she wanted, but it was just too amusing how they thought they could take her down so she acted like she was fearing them, just waiting for the right moment for her suprise.
"Do you think it is smart to throw ME in the dirt, young boy?! It's not like you'd fight off an usual opponent. I AM THE SEELIE QUEEN! And right now there are the sharpest thorns of the summer court directly under your feet, waiting for a move of me to pierce right through you and you can't get the control of them since they were made with the strongest magic here and bound to my blood.", the now scary beauty mumbled while loking at her ruined dress. Of course Keirran would try to take care of those thorns now and in that time she'd play her true move.
Kenzie sat in the cell for a week before Titania returned to her. She became stronger from medicines and her glamour was also getting stronger. When Titania returned Kenzie was elated. She smiled and waved to her queen as she entered her cell, something hidden behind…
Kenzie stared at the pot for a few minutes, thinking of a beautiful flower. She closed her eyes and put her hands together, trying to summon the magic within her. When she opened her eyes and looked at the pot she saw a beautiful flower in the soil. Titania smiled down at her and Kenzie couldn’t help but smile as well.
Titania looked at Kenzie and then, a dyrad came into the cell with them. ”My queen, I have heard from one of our spies that the Iron queen now knows that the girl is missing and may send a search party. What shall we do?” Kenzie looked at the flower while Titania turned at answer the worried fey.
The seelie queen looked satisfied at the dryad and demanded:” Give them some clear hints on where the mortal is and when they find out tell them I like to make a deal with them and the girl is wholesome.”
With that Titania immediatly ignored the summer feary again and clapped for Kenzie.
“Really good! You can use it, that means you’re ready for the mission. Let’s get you out of this cell first and into my throne room, I have there something I need you to have.”
Kenzie stood up and followed her queen. The halls they were going through were filled with servants who stared after them and whispered to each other with an devilish expression, after bowing for their queen. Then they finally arrived their designation and Titania sat down on her glorious throne before flicking her fingers. Some fearys, carrying something huge hidden under a red cloth, appeared and placed their load infront of Kenzie.
Kenzie was so glad to know that her queen was proud of her and had something to show her in the throne room. As she walked down the halls she heard some of the servants look at them, and she heard them whisper things like ‘Isn’t that the mortal from the Iron court?’ and ‘She is the one who tried to fight Titania before, how is she still alive?’ Kenzie only ignored these fey and followed her queen.
Titania led her into the throne room and ordered some faeries to place a load of something at her feet. ”Well, first off, I think that something was used to make her do that.” Kenzie heard from behind her, she turned her head to see to guards in the corner across the room. ”Titania always uses spells and potions to make mortals to do these kinds of things. Just look at the girl.” One of them said. Kenzie noticed that Titania had not been able to hear them, she must have good hearing then.
She rounded up some glamour and sent vines to wrap around the guards and drag them towards her queen. They screamed with terror until they were placed at the foot of the throne, Titania looked pleased. ”I heard them talking poorly of their queen, my lady.” Kenzie said as looked up at Titania.
Titabnia looked at Kenzie first surprised then overly pleased. She made a little move with her finger and got control of Kenzie’s vines which grew throrns suddenly and pierced through the guards. They cried out in pain but the queen ignored them and smiled at the mortal girl.
“Well done, human. You really proved yourself. I will replace the guards with people who know how to treat their queen. Now please open the box.”
The beautiful blonde pointed at the load and couldn’t hide her impatience. Kenzie did as she was told and opened her “gift”.
There were pictures, clothes and other items she could slightly remember. Things she used to own at her home in the mortal world. A photo with her father caught her eye and she stared at it.
Titania observed her new toy with puckered lips and a alert eye. If the items of her human life would break some old feeling free, Kenzie wouldn’t pass the test.
Kenzie looked in her “gift” and saw many things in it. She picked up a photo with a girl and a man, ”This is me in the photo, or is it someone else?” Kenzie wondered to herself. She put the photo down and looked at many other things in the box, so many…mortal things. Kenzie looked at each item quickly and then looked up at Titania, “Who is the girl in this photo?” She wanted to ask her queen, but decided against it and instead, ripped the photo in front of her. Seeing the smile on Titania’s face grow bigger, she knew she did the right thing.
“Dear, would you keep the things or burn them?”, the gorgeous regina asked just to be sure. Kenzie spotted the nearest torch and grabbed it, without any restraint she made the things catching fire, they lit up the room in an eerie way, this effect only got stronger when Titania laughed joyful.
“You passed! That means you are ready for the mission. Do you still remember Meghan Chase, the Iron Queen?”
Kenzie shook her head. She remembered Meghan, but she had no idea why she did. ”What does that mean my queen? What will I have to do?” Kenzie was so eager to please her queen she would do almost anything. Titania smiled and rose from her throne, yelling at two fey to come and take the burning items from the room. She walked next to Kenzie and turned her around to face the back wall. There, Kenzie saw a large portrait of Titania on the wall. ”You see dear, I am the prettiest queen of them all. Meghan thinks she can try and be better than me, but I must show her that she is wrong. Will you help me with that?”
Kenzie smiled up at her queen and nodded her head. Titania smiled and patted Kenzie’s shoulder.
Knowing that this human totally obeyed her now, Titania felt more than proud of herself. She reached into a hidden pocket in her dress and put out a little vial with an glowing purple juice, a mixture which would cause the Iron Queen some serious problems with herself. The blonde beauty slipped the vial into Kenzie’s hands like it was the most precious thing on earth. The next words were spoken with a huge wave of powerful glamour to give them more intensity:
“Then, my dear mortal, you are ready to go. Meet the iron fearys in the wyldwood, they were searching for you for some time now. Act as if you terribly want to meet the Iron Queen because you found out that the summer court will do something very monstrously and only Meghan Chase is allowed to find out what it is. When you are in the iron castle and get the opportunity to talk with her, you must say that this juice is gonna show her what you found out. As soon as she has taken the potion you must flee and come back to the summer court and report me the exact process of your meeting. This is an important mission and if you truly love me as your queen, you will do it.”
Kenzie took the vial and hid it in her shirt. Only she will know about it when she leaves. She walked out into the forest with some of the summer fey that Titaina sent with her. After twenty minutes of nothing they saw some Iron faeries in the forest ahead of them. Kenzie told the summer fey to leave her and they did. Then she ran over to the guards screaming. ”ITS ME! ITS MACKENZIE! YOU MUST TAKE ME TO MEGHAN!” Kenzie landed next to a guard and almost knocked him over. The other guards gasped and looked around to see if anyone was following her. ”There’s no time to check for them just get me to Meghan. I have to tell her something!” The guards put her ontop of a horse with another guard and they took off with great speed. The other guards walked back to stop anyone on foot coming after them.
Once Kenzie was back in the Iron court she was sent into a conference room to wait for Meghan. She told the guard who brought back that she must speak to the Iron queen and only her. He agreed and left her there to go and find Meghan. While she was alone, Kenzie pulled out the vial of the purple juice. She played with it in her hands, and wanting to smell the juice. She didn’t dare do so since it was to be put into Meghan’s drink. She waited for so long for Meghan she fell asleep in the chair she was sitting in. She wondered what her queen was doing back in the Seelie court.
The moment Kenzie was out of the court Titania felt constricted. If the plan would go wrong it could bring war between the summer and iron court, so the queen had put many lives into the responsebility of a mortal girl!
The more she thought about it, the more the feared queen felt like she did something utterly stupit and destructive. She wandered around the castle like a trapped tiger and hissed harsh at her guards when they asked her what was going on.
The potion in the vial was a very powerful and old mixture which would take on the mind of the person who drank it and twist the memories and personality. Also it could block the glamour. And it was made of the best and longest bred ingredients of the seelie court, which meant that whoever even smelled the slightest bit of it was compelled to drink it.
Kenzie woke up in the chair from a small servant tapping her shoulder. He looked at her with large eyes and said, “The Iron queen Meghan will be with you shortly.” Just then Meghan walked through the door. ”Leave the poor girl alone. How long have you been there watching her? Go play with some wires or something.” Meghan seemed on edge about something. When the door closed she wrapped Kenzie up in a hug. ”Thank goodness we found you! We have all been worried sick about you MacKenzie.” Kenzie lightly tapped the shoulder of Meghan and began to feel that she couldn’t do what she was sent to do. She had to though, it was for her queen, yet, something in her made her think that maybe Titania is not all that truthful.
Meghan sat down in a chair next to Kenzie and folded her legs. ”So, what was it that you needed to tell me about the Summer queen? Are you thirsty? Have some water.” With that Meghan pulled out two glasses of water out of glamour and handed one to Kenzie. She stared at the cup, it was almost as if something was directing this so that she could give Meghan the purple juice.
Kenzie felt her hands become sweaty and she looked up at the Iron queen, “She is planning something bad Meghan, something so terribly bad. I don’t know if I can now say it.” Meghan placed a caring hand on her knee, “It’s alright. You’re safe now, she can’t hurt you anymore.” Kenzie sighed and felt the vial inside of her shirt, she wondered if there was a bulge in her shirt to reveal it. She circled the top of her glass with a finger. ”She is planning on doing something to you. I only got a small part of what she said, I didn’t get big details. But she is planning on doing something. I think she even sent a spy.” Meghan laughed and leaned into her chair, “But, no summer faery can enter here unless they are half-mortal, and she hates those, or if they are morta—” Meghan looked at Kenzie for the first time really. She saw the slight glassy coating over her eyes to show that something was up. ”MacKenzie, what is going on?” Meghan said rising to her feet.
Kenzie jumped up and tried to get out the door but when she opened in, Ash was standing there. He must have been waiting for Meghan to come out. ”Ash grab her! She’s brainwashed!” Kenzie just missed Ash’s grasp and ran down the hall. She had to get rid of the evidence of why she came here. She hid in a small, dark corner and took the vial from her shirt. She opened it up and smelled it. The juice was so intoxicating that she didn’t even think but drank the whole thing down. Just as Ash found her, he saw what she had done. Kenzie fainted right on the spot, and began to slowly vanish, her particles shooting back to a cell in the dungeon of Titania’s home.
When she felt that something appeared in the cell she had prepared for Meghan, the summer queen smiled victorious while making her way to the Iron Queen. She opened the cell and let some impressing glamour wave through the air.
“So finallly you are here, Queen of th….WHAT DID YOU DO?!!! ARGH! I KNEW IT! You’re nothing but a worthless mortal!”
Kenzie looked up at Titania, and stared into her eyes. ”I am sorry. I just couldn’t do it. I had to get out of there or they would have captured me and it never would have gotten done.” For some reason Kenzie felt as though her loyalty to Titania was slowly slipping away and she was remembering that she had been kidnapped. She knew that Titania was a liar but decided to keep it inside and hide it, to see what other damage she could do. ”I don’t want you here, you pathetic mortal.” Titania barked, “You can leave now and discover the wyldwood. Guards! Take her away and make sure she can’t find her way home.” Just then two men came and grabbed Kenzie by the arms, dragging her out to the edge of the Seelie court, and threw her on the ground. ”Get out. Or Titania will make a fine toy out of you.” One of the guards warned her. Kenzie got up and started to walk forward. Not knowing what to do.
Titania turned around and left the cell, she immediatly forgot the existance of the human girl and concentrated on making a new revenge plan for Meghan. But the Iron Queen knew now that she was planning something, so she had to create a plan which was hardly to see through.
While leaving the catacombs of the summer prison, the seelie queen heard Kenzie’s fight screams as she tried to get away from the guards. Well, maybe the queen couldn’t forget that quickly. She would keep an eye on the girl and use her powers to see which way Kenzie would go as soon as she was in the wyldwood.
As Kenzie started to walk around she thought something, or someone, was following her and turned around to check every ten minutes. She hugged herself and sat on the ground, whispering to herself. Maybe if she had some glamour left inside of her she could figure out a way home. Whispering about the Iron court and thinking of the castle of Meghan, she felt the air around her change. When she opened her eyes she saw that she was in a swirl of colors and closed them tight again, never stopping her thoughts of the castle.
She stopped spinning and opened her eyes again. She saw that she was in a lone hallway in the castle. She got up and headed in the direction she was facing, not knowing who she would run into. She found herself near the corner where she drank the purple juice. Quickly, Kenzie raced up to the room she had waited for Meghan in. When she burst through the door she only saw one man, a boy around her age.
He looked at her with ashtonishment. ”Kenzie, what do you think you are doing back here?” Something in the back of her mind told her who this was. ”Keirran, I came here to help your mom. Where is she?” Keirran got up from the table and went to leave the room. ”Why would you care? You tried to kill her.” ”That’s only because I was brainwashed!” Kenzie screamed at the Iron prince, “Didn’t you hear about that part? Please, just tell me where Meghan is.” Keirran sighed and placed a hand on his forehead. ”She left with Ash and Ethan to see Titania and stop her. Come with me. We’ll go and stop them together I guess.” Kenzie chased after Keirran as they got onto horses and raced back into the wyldwood, going to stop Meghan, Ash, and Ethan (who she felt some strong towards when she thought of him) from death.
The guards came rushing into one of Titania’s private rooms. She got up and wished to know why they would dare to break her privacy, when they told her the reason she went pale. Meghan Chase was on her way to the summer court, most likely to break a war loose and the guilt came over the queen like a waterfall. She might be arrogant and self centered but she also loved her court, more than anything.
“I will meet her before she can enter the realm to go the diplomatic way. Try to find out where my husband is and tell him about what’s happening.”, she advised and got on her way.
Kenzie and Keirran rode fast on their way to get to the others. They finally saw them about 30 yards ahead of them. Keirran stopped Kenzie from going any further towards them. ”What are you doing? We have to help them.” she said, not caring if her voice was raising. Keirran looked at her, “Because, Titania is right in front of them and I really don’t think that you want to see her at the moment.” Kenzie looked over and saw that Titania was in fact, standing in front of them. The first person to speak was Meghan. ”Titania, what have you done?” Titania’s smile didn’t move.
The beautiful blonde queen looked at Meghan with an stone-statue smile, not showing any emotion beside being aloof.
“What do you mean, dear Iron Queen? I didn’t do anything. I fact I can’t do anything to you since I’m not able to enter your realm.”, she chanted. Meghan’s aura showed the anger which gre with every word Titania said.
“Don’t act so innocent. You did send Kenzie to me so she could attack me. Why are you still doing this? Don’t you brealize how many people you get in danger with your selfishness?”, the iron queen reasoned sharply and the seelie queen cringed a bit which made her smile even more faked. She couldn’t listen to those words long, one way or another she’d snap and that would end badly.
“Keirran we have to go stop them!” Kenzie yelled at the prince that just sat on his horse watching. He turned his head to look at her, “What could we do?” He was obviously scared for his mom. Kenzie knew she had to do something. She jumped off her horse and ran over to where they were, only to be tripped by a root that grew out of nowhere. Keirran appeared next to her. ”If you want to help my mom,” he whispered, “then you will be quiet and follow me.” She got up and followed him, they were going around the fight. As Titania and Meghan battled in out with words, Keirran and Kenzie were walking around until they were behind the Summer queen. Who was surprisingly only followed by one guard. Keirran used glamour to stop the guard from talking and her snuck up behind Titania. ”Hello, grandma.” You could see the aura around the Summer queen turn from anger to surprise, and then to both before she turned to face them.
"So this is your mix-blood child, iron queen. He doesn't seems like an world destroyer like the prophecy said. But that doesn't mean anything. And little boy I'm not your grandmother, I won't ever be a grandmother ew! You're only related to my husband who's biggest mistake was to have this affair with this mortal bitch. But we shouldn't chat around, should we? What did you intend with this surprise, prince of the irion court?

When she opened her eyes and looked at the pot she saw a beautiful flower in the soil. Titania smiled down at her and Kenzie couldn’t help but smile as well.
Titania looked at Kenzie and then, a dyrad came into the cell with them. ”My queen, I have heard from one of our spies that the Iron queen now knows that the girl is missing and may send a search party. What shall we do?” Kenzie looked at the flower while Titania turned at answer the worried fey.
The seelie queen looked satisfied at the dryad and demanded:” Give them some clear hints on where the mortal is and when they find out tell them I like to make a deal with them and the girl is wholesome.”

I don’t know if I can now say it.” Meghan placed a caring hand on her knee, “It’s alright. You’re safe now, she can’t hurt you anymore.” Kenzie sighed and felt the vial inside of her shirt, she wondered if there was a bulge in her shirt to reveal it. She circled the top of her glass with a finger. ”She is planning on doing something to you. I only got a small part of what she said, I didn’t get big details. But she is planning on doing something. I think she even sent a spy.” Meghan laughed and leaned into her chair, “But, no summer faery can enter here unless they are half-mortal, and she hates those, or if they are morta—” Meghan looked at Kenzie for the first time really. She saw the slight glassy coating over her eyes to show that something was up. ”MacKenzie, what is going on?” Meghan said rising to her feet.
Kenzie jumped up and tried to get out the door but when she opened in, Ash was standing there. He must have been waiting for Meghan to come out. ”Ash grab her! She’s brainwashed!” Kenzie just missed Ash’s grasp and ran down the hall. She had to get rid of the evidence of why she came here. She hid in a small, dark corner and took the vial from her shirt. She opened it up and smelled it. The juice was so intoxicating that she didn’t even think but drank the whole thing down. Just as Ash found her, he saw what she had done. Kenzie fainted right on the spot, and began to slowly vanish, her particles shooting back to a cell in the dungeon of Titania’s home.
When she felt that something appeared in the cell she had prepared for Meghan, the summer queen smiled victorious while making her way to the Iron Queen. She opened the cell and let some impressing glamour wave through the air.
“So finallly you are here, Queen of th….WHAT DID YOU DO?!!! ARGH! I KNEW IT! You’re nothing but a worthless mortal!”
Kenzie looked up at Titania, and stared into her eyes. ”I am sorry. I just couldn’t do it. I had to get out of there or they would have captured me and it never would have gotten done.” For some reason Kenzie felt as though her loyalty to Titania was slowly slipping away and she was remembering that she had been kidnapped. She knew that Titania was a liar but decided to keep it inside and hide it, to see what other damage she could do. ”I don’t want you here, you pathetic mortal.” Titania barked, “You can leave now and discover the wyldwood. Guards! Take her away and make sure she can’t find her way home.” Just then two men came and grabbed Kenzie by the arms, dragging her out to the edge of the Seelie court, and threw her on the ground. ”Get out. Or Titania will make a fine toy out of you.” One of the guards warned her. Kenzie got up and started to walk forward. Not knowing what to do.
Titania turned around and left the cell, she immediatly forgot the existance of the human girl and concentrated on making a new revenge plan for Meghan. But the Iron Queen knew now that she was planning something, so she had to create a plan which was hardly to see through.
While leaving the catacombs of the summer prison, the seelie queen heard Kenzie’s fight screams as she tried to get away from the guards. Well, maybe the queen couldn’t forget that quickly. She would keep an eye on the girl and use her powers to see which way Kenzie would go as soon as she was in the wyldwood.
As Kenzie started to walk around she thought something, or someone, was following her and turned around to check every ten minutes. She hugged herself and sat on the ground, whispering to herself. Maybe if she had some glamour left inside of her she could figure out a way home. Whispering about the Iron court and thinking of the castle of Meghan, she felt the air around her change. When she opened her eyes she saw that she was in a swirl of colors and closed them tight again, never stopping her thoughts of the castle.
She stopped spinning and opened her eyes again. She saw that she was in a lone hallway in the castle. She got up and headed in the direction she was facing, not knowing who she would run into. She found herself near the corner where she drank the purple juice. Quickly, Kenzie raced up to the room she had waited for Meghan in. When she burst through the door she only saw one man, a boy around her age.
He looked at her with ashtonishment. ”Kenzie, what do you think you are doing back here?” Something in the back of her mind told her who this was. ”Keirran, I came here to help your mom. Where is she?” Keirran got up from the table and went to leave the room. ”Why would you care? You tried to kill her.” ”That’s only because I was brainwashed!” Kenzie screamed at the Iron prince, “Didn’t you hear about that part? Please, just tell me where Meghan is.” Keirran sighed and placed a hand on his forehead. ”She left with Ash and Ethan to see Titania and stop her. Come with me. We’ll go and stop them together I guess.” Kenzie chased after Keirran as they got onto horses and raced back into the wyldwood, going to stop Meghan, Ash, and Ethan (who she felt some strong towards when she thought of him) from death.
The guards came rushing into one of Titania’s private rooms. She got up and wished to know why they would dare to break her privacy, when they told her the reason she went pale. Meghan Chase was on her way to the summer court, most likely to break a war loose and the guilt came over the queen like a waterfall. She might be arrogant and self centered but she also loved her court, more than anything.
“I will meet her before she can enter the realm to go the diplomatic way. Try to find out where my husband is and tell him about what’s happening.”, she advised and got on her way.
Kenzie and Keirran rode fast on their way to get to the others. They finally saw them about 30 yards ahead of them. Keirran stopped Kenzie from going any further towards them. ”What are you doing? We have to help them.” she said, not caring if her voice was raising. Keirran looked at her, “Because, Titania is right in front of them and I really don’t think that you want to see her at the moment.” Kenzie looked over and saw that Titania was in fact, standing in front of them. The first person to speak was Meghan. ”Titania, what have you done?” Titania’s smile didn’t move.
The beautiful blonde queen looked at Meghan with an stone-statue smile, not showing any emotion beside being aloof.
"What do you mean, dear Iron Queen? I didn't do anything. I fact I can't do anything to you since I'm not able to enter your realm.", she chanted. Meghan's aura showed the anger which gre with every word Titania said.
"Don't act so innocent. You did send Kenzie to me so she could attack me. Why are you still doing this? Don't you brealize how many people you get in danger with your selfishness?", the iron queen reasoned sharply and the seelie queen cringed a bit which made her smile even more faked. She couldn't listen to those words long, one way or another she'd snap and that would end badly.
