“Let's just go,” Daxon said. “I mean, look at us. We'll get attention no matter what we're wearing. Raza alone might start a stampede of screaming girls.”

Raza blinked and looked down at himself. “Screaming girls? I see nothing frightening about my appearance. No claws. I even banished my fangs.”

“He means you're too attractive, babe,” I said. “They'll scream in delight.”

“Oh. Yes, that's happened before.” Raza grinned. “And thank you.”

“You could pick a less attractive form,” Dax suggested.

“Would you?” Raza shot back.

Daxon snorted. “No.”

“King Astaroth would have them screaming too if he was dressed like King Raza,” Nassar said.

Star rolled his eyes. “Thank you for the loyalty, Nassar, but please shut up.”

“What?”

“It sounded naughty,” I said to Nassar. “And odd, coming from you.”

“All I said was . . .” Nassar trailed off. “Yeah, okay. I see it now.”

“Are you ladies done talking about your frocks?” Medea snarled. “Lives are at stake.”

“Sorry,” the men muttered.

“All right. Let's head to a rath,” Medea said.

“We're not using a rath,” I said. “We're traveling like Demons today.”

“What's that now?” Medea, who had glamoured herself into a biker with dreadlocks, creaked as she shifted onto one boot.

“Ah, and here's another reason why I'm useful,” Star said. “I know where to lalek us and so do they.” He jerked his thumb at his men. “Have you ever been to Incheon, Seren?”

I stuck my tongue out at him and giggles erupted from the crowd of kids gathered around my dad and Sever. I winked at them.

“Uh, actually, we're meeting up with a group of local hunters,” Killian said as he held up his phone and showed me the image of a room. “We're going here. And this is all Seren needs.”

“Fine.” Star took the phone and showed the picture to his men. “They're expecting us?”

“Yeah, I just called them. They cleared the room for our use.”

“All right then. Form four groups, everyone,” Star said.

“Hold on,” Medea said. “What's happening?”

“It's sort of like using Twilight magic,” I explained to her. “We'll move from here to Korea instantly. Except we'll be using Fire magic instead of Fey.”

“Fire?”

“Or I could laruk us using Air magic,” I offered.

“I think I'd prefer that.”

“As would I,” Sever drawled.

“All right, all right.” I held up my hands, then waved our knights forward. “How many have we got?”
