Bab 322: Bad Boy

"No Fae is inherently evil, that is what the Seelie Queen failed to understand before she died in the battle field. The nature of evil exists and deep within everyone, we have the tools. However…. " Eli chuckled darkly, "That is not the case for the dark Faeries. My kind is born with it. That is why we bear the cursed mask," He pulled down the tunic's large V-shaped neckline to show her the writhing runes even though there was enough of it on his neck. 

Islinda stared at it, mouth parted in both awe and slight fear. If this was a cursed mask, would it have any effect on her considering she's made contact with it a lot more times than she could remember? 

"The cursed mask bears witness to the deal the Night Court High Lord made with the archdemon for power and as well, a quick identification for the other courts to murder us. Most surviving dark Faeries are in hiding and are smart enough to hide their marks." 

"Just like Maxi."
