Summary
“I just don’t get why we’re trying something this risky!” Tommy exclaimed. “The Pythia is, like, the most important person in the whole palace besides the king. They’re gonna be guarded to all hell and back.”
“And that’s why you’re gonna be wearing a guard’s uniform,” Phil reminded him, adjusting the wings on his lap. “Plus, it’s literally a masquerade ball. The Pythia won’t be able to recognize you’re not one of their guards. All you have to do is tell them you’re taking them to a safe location when me and Techno start our distraction, and once you get them in private, use your magic to make them follow you out.”
...
“Look, like I said, I don’t want to hurt you, Wilbur,” Tommy said, taking a step closer to him, not reacting when Wilbur stepped back again. “Plus, are you even happy here?”
“It doesn’t matter whether I’m happy or not. Clara chose me for this role, and I’m not going to go against Her will,” Wilbur said, although the words tasted like dirt on his tongue.
or, Tommy tries to kidnap an oracle, but things don't go exactly according to plan.

Summary
The guard stared at him for a moment, blue eyes blown wide behind his mask.
It was then the Pythia looked down at the hand outstretched between them. The prosthetic was made of intricately carved metal, covered in vines and flowers twisting together with the shimmer of enchantments reflecting in the purple glow.
And although the guard’s sleeve was covering his wrist, he knew that in the place where metal met flesh, there was a pair of dark angel wings tattooed on his skin.
He was right. This wasn’t a real guard.
This was a Deathling.
or, Wilbur is an oracle known as the Pythia, chosen to receive dreams of the future from the goddess Clara. One day, he receives a dream warning him that during a ball Emperor Schlatt is hosting, the Deathlings—terrorists who worship the goddess of Death—will launch an attack. When his warning goes ignored, he knows there's going to be consequences.
He doesn't expect one of those consequences to include him getting kidnapped by a teenager.
