"She is subject to punishment by death. We must get rid of this impostor before she causes any more trouble in other territories."

Gaia nodded with their suggestions as she stared at me, folding her arms across her chest. "Prepare the execution immediately," she commanded. "Drag her out of this palace. I don't want her remains to be anywhere near my future kingdom!"

"No!" I screamed, forcing my feet to touch the ground. But they only made me stumble forward, my hands reaching out in desperation. The faes grabbed me roughly, dragging me down the grand staircase and out of the palace, ignoring my pleas for mercy.

Before I knew it, we were by the quiet river.

"We can just actually snap our fingers, and viola! You'll be gone," one of the faes sneered, a cruel smile on their face. "No one will even remember you were ever here."

But we want you to suffer a little longer," another fae sneered, pushing me towards the edge of the water.

"Now Go!" Gaia yelled. "Get your ass back to Sepher and never return here again!"

I turned around and noticed one fae whispering to Gaia. Though I could hear the words, saying, "Aren't we going to torture her more? Why banish her just like that?"
