Ryder POV
I stood there watching Rita. I hate that I brought her into this, but she had a score to settle with the King herself. Who was I to stop her? I had my own to settle with him. She was sitting in our normal spot eating dinner already and I found myself smiling. I guess being casted out was a good thing after all. I was in too deep and Dexter was just way too imbalanced to reason with. I might as well see things through. If things get too deep and I notice we are going to lose the battle, we leave immediately.
Rita and I hatched a plan together to stay together. No matter what. Yes, her magic abilities were not the strongest, but she could still do a few simple things. Enough to keep us protected at the very least. A spell she was working on would make us seem invisible to anyone
