CHAPTER 99 - THE TRUTH ABOUT HER.
HAZEL'S POV"Her name was Almathae."Those words rang in my head as silence fell over me. I was Almathae's reborn. No wonder she had been trying to reach out to me."So you knew this whole time, Morwenna?" I asked, the thought pressing heavy against my chest."Yes, but I wasn't quite sure until I tasted your blood that day and saw the mark I had placed on you before leaving.""Why did you leave? Even after you found out about me on the day I was born?" I asked.She was quiet for a moment. Something resolute rose in her eyes."Because it was the best thing to do, Hazel. You were the hybrid, and if anyone from the dragon realm found out, particularly Seraphine, they would have come for your blood as a sacrifice. I couldn't bear that for my child.""So when I had weaned you, when you were old enough to survive, I cast a spell to seal your powers and keep any dragon from sensing you. That included me." She paused. "That day I left you behind and never returned.""It was for the best, Haze
CHAPTER 100 - FRIENDS TURNED FOES
DRAVON'S POVNathan stood in the doorway dressed in his full army regalia. It made him look more powerful than I remembered.He was staring at me like he'd seen a ghost."Would you rather keep me standing out here, or can I come in?" I asked, snapping him out of it.A flicker of hesitation crossed his face before he pulled the door wider."Come in."I stepped inside. The thud of the door sounded behind me. The house wasn't big, a few old pieces of furniture scattered around, but it was neat and comfortable."Dravon." I turned at my name. "How did you find this place?" he asked."Asked around on my way," I answered.He nodded."You can sit."I spotted the sofa behind me and let myself fall into it. Nathan disappeared into his closet.This wasn't the Nathan I remembered. He felt darker somehow, sharper around the edges, and he'd changed physically too, looking more composed, more certain of himself. His grey eyes were a shade deeper than before.Maybe he's just being careful around me a
CHAPTER 101 - DARKEST TIMES
DRAVON'S POVNathan stood to his feet, tossing the gem between his fingers as he circled me. His body shook with rage at my words."Well. We will see about that," he said.My body trembled from the Strauss. I was beginning to shut down, my vision blurring."You do know how to dare someone," he said, coming to stand in front of me."The gem of Drakharis. How did you get it?" I groaned, struggling to hold myself up as my elongated nails dug into the ground."Long story, old friend," he said. "A lot has happened since your sudden disappearance.""You bared the path, Nathan," I said beneath heavy groans."You do know so much. I mean you should. You're a dragon," he said."I believe I was led to the gem for one reason, to destroy all dragons and save my people from their sieges," he said.I couldn't hold on much longer but I struggled to."Not all..." a groan tore through my throat as I fought through the paralysis. Red droplets, my blood, began dripping from my nose onto the ground.Forci
CHAPTER 102 - AN ALLY IN NATHAN.
DRAVON'S POVNathan looked at me for a second before walking over to the chair opposite mine.My head still throbbed from the Strauss, so I leaned back against the armrest."Why did you come back, even though you knew it wasn't safe here?" he asked."I want an ally in the human lands." He held my gaze."If we want to win, we have to work together, Nathan. We'd have to ignore the rift.""Do you have any plan in mind?" he asked, settling back into the chair."Not yet.""But I have men ready to fight by my side," I said."Where are they? And how do you plan on getting them out of Eldorado under your brother's nose?" His eyes stayed fixed on me."They're already out. They're in the caves.""It would be better if we could get help from Aldridge." He sat up straighter."So are you in?" I raised my hand, palm open on the table.He didn't answer right away.Nathan looked down at my open palm like it was something that could burn him. The silence stretched and I let it I wasn't going to beg. E
CHAPTER 103 - POLITICS
Aiden's POVI hadn't left Voidfang yet, and I wouldn't. Not until I got word from the capital.I sat on one of the highest peaks where I could see almost everything.The night sky spread above me, cold and wide. Below, the city of Voidfang glittered, one of the most beautiful of all the clans of Eldorado.A cold breeze moved through my hair as my fingers turned a small piece of gravel over and over, my boots tapping the ground impatiently.I'd sent a message to Zarin expecting news about my estate. What I got back was eight words."I'll meet you at the Tackarette Mountains."And so here I was. Waiting. No sign of him anywhere.I kept throwing stones into the endless dark below.I'd just picked up another when I finally felt his presence at my back."Zarin," I said without turning."Your Highness." His voice came from behind me."How dare you keep me waiting this long?" I turned to face him, teeth clenched.He exhaled slowly, like he needed me to calm down before he spoke."It took tim
CHAPTER 104 - TELEPORTATION.
"Did you think you could storm my walls right under my nose?"I took another step back as the two white-haired siblings faced us, swords already drawn."How did you get out?" Lamiel's voice thundered."Better than you thought," I shot back.His eyes darkened."How dare—"I felt his sister move behind me. Before I could turn, steel rang out. I spun.Zarin had already blocked her. She was faster than I expected. Even Zarin was breathing harder for it."Good," I said, and turned back to Lamiel.The clash of their swords kept sounding at my back."So what now, seize me? Paralyze me with Strauss? Kill me?" I held his glare. "Come on then. Bring it on."He lunged.A pulse shot under my skin and then I wasn't standing in the garden anymore.Stone floor. My courtroom.I looked down. Seraphine's necklace glowed against my chest. I looked around. Everything was still. The halls were silent, no guards in sight. The torches flickered in the soft night breeze. The maids, the guards, all asleep.I
CHAPTER 105 - THE HYBRID.
Seraphines aura felt far more powerful than I remembered. Deep red orbs bore into mine, and around her neck hung a pendant just like the one at my own throat, the same red stone, only much larger."You should hand that over to its rightful owner." Her voice was lethal in a way I hadn't heard before."I should leave now, Your Highness." Zarin said."Yes, you should." I didn't look at him. My eyes stayed on Seraphine."You know I didn't steal it," I said, stepping down slowly from my throne until I stood only an inch from her. "You dropped it carelessly in my courtroom the last time you graced this sanctum." I leaned closer, almost to her ear. "And since I found it here, it became mine."I pulled back, meeting her eyes. Her hands had balled into fists."Calm down, my lady." I smiled. "I'm only keeping it safe for you."I turned and walked back up to my throne."Why do you look so much younger and more beautiful than I remember? Don't tell me it's because of that thing around your neck."
CHAPTER 106 - THE LAST DARAENXYN ALIVE.
HAZEL'S POVI stepped out of the bathroom feeling fuller and better than I had in weeks.Last night was memorable. Dravon made sure of that. I remember him carrying me naked in his arms, my shirt draped over his shoulders, sneaking me up the stairs while everyone else was still asleep."What if someone had spotted us like that?"The thought made my cheeks burn every time it crossed my mind.He had dropped me on the bed to sleep, which I did in no time, wrapped in his arms. The feeling had been endless until I opened my eyes to the blinding rays of the sun this morning and he was gone.Here I was, sulking at the thought of him.I walked towel-wrapped towards the small closet. I didn't have much, just a few simple clothes, but I was happier than I'd ever been at Voidfang, surrounded by maids and guards. I had always wanted a simple life.Thinking of Voidfang pulled my mind back to Lilian.My hand stilled on the closet rail.It wasn't something I chose to remember. It just came, the way
CHAPTER 107 - THE BOOK.
MORWENNA'S POVI felt it, the immense power radiating from her. The force flung me against the bed from where I sat, and thankfully it did, because the fire would have consumed me when it rose beyond expectation.She was the imperion Daraenxyn, and had I not birthed Hazel myself, I would have thought she was the one in this room just now."What happened to them?""Where is Dorwen?" she asked, still looking at the ashes on the floor."Who?" I asked."My kind," she said.I looked at her, hesitant to break the news, because the moment I did she would know that danger had already been lurking the moment she stepped into this world."Mother, what befell them?" she asked again."I don't know about them. I didn't hear much, just enough to know they were wiped off." The lie left my mouth easier than it should have. I hated that.She looked deep into my eyes, and I felt like she had seen straight through me."Do you know of a dragon once named Vorthar?"My eyes widened. That name. I hadn't hea
CHAPTER 108 - INTERTWINED.
**HAZEL'S POV**"Sylthara?"She spun around, eyes wide. "Hazel, how did you get here? I mean, all by yourself. Where is Draven?""It's a long story," I said. Her eyes drifted to Morwenna but she didn't say anything."What brings you back to Voidfang?" she asked, tucking her hands into her pockets, her gaze finding me again."I, I..." my mouth wouldn't cooperate."I'm all ears," she said, and she meant it."I came to get a certain book."She glanced at me for a moment then nodded. "Alright. You can take anything you want." Her eyes kept moving back to Morwenna as she spoke. "I hope you find what you seek." She added that last part almost to herself, already walking past us.My eyes caught the black book in her hand. And the way Morwenna was watching it too.I turned. Sylthara was already at the door."Sylthara."She looked back."Did you find what you were looking for?" I asked, keeping my voice even. I watched her hand tighten around the book."Yes. I found what I came for." She held
