Good For Nothing Bloodline
Of course, the matter of Blood Duke Doran and Edran was something that was making Rhaegar to fill one kind in his heart.He had wanted to press on and continue the discussion. He had wanted to ask more, to know more about his supposed uncle Edran and above all, he wanted to be sure that Edran would not turn on them.Because the more he thought about it, the more Rhaegar felt that it was like something that they could not simply ignore just like that.Blood Duke Doran was already making his countless moves. His son was already inside the military. And somewhere out there, his uncle Edran was hiding in a place that no one, not even the king himself knew of.Again, this is not a situation that could be ignored for long.But the moment Rhaegar heard his father say forsaken, his mood change quickly. Rhaegar paused to reason as he played different scenarios in his mind, weighing the two things against each other. Doran and Edran on one side, then the forsaken on the other.He exhaled slowl
Do You Want To Try It
The comb moved slowly through Jade's hair.She was sitting without moving with her back straight and her eyes on the mirror in front of her. She had that same signature calm face of hers.Rhaegar's mother was the one doing her and she was not rushing it. She was not even rushing it like most servant do. She was being careful with it like the hair was an egg. Intact she doing the hair like most mother take care of their new born baby. Jade let out a grin as she watched all of it in the mirror without saying anything.She grown up in the Rim and her everyday routine has been morning training then breakfast, rest, go hunting, study with her grandfather, evening training then lunch. Most times she do not have the time to do her hair, perhaps she was lazy to it most times. The way she is living right now, was not a world she was used to.She was still learning to adjust to this kind of living. In the corner of the room, Vae was watching them.The wolf was sitting at her favourite spot
Not Friendly Ground
Seeing Rhaegar eyebrow furrowed without him answering...Jade then lick her lips as she asked. "So what is going to be?"Rhaegar bit his lips as he was still thinking.Jade was now sitting with her back straight and her eyes on Rhaegar, the worn dark cloth was still resting in her open palm between them.Rhaegar's eyes moved between the object she had placed before him.He was thinking if he should go with the normal training just like the rest or Elyria channelers. After all, the training has be the most complete method Elyria's most complete and established channeling method for advanced practitioners, and the training has produced every level three and level four healer the kingdom had ever recorded and even level five. It was proven ground but the result is not a quick one. If he walked it steadily and consistently and trained without distraction, gave it the time the level up was sure.The training was reliable and it was also safe. The Breach Form on the other hand was a diffe

Rheager had managed to convinced his father that he would go with the guards to the border.It was already morning and they set to leave for the boarder.The palace courtyard was already full when Rhaegar came down.Sixty guards were standing in two clean lines along the stone path that stretched from the palace doors to the outer gate.They were all on Elyria armour. And there was something like a swords on their hips but it was not a sword. It was a stick.Their saddlebags were packed too. Their horses were already ready and prepared..At the head of the formation was Aldric.He was the head of the guards and also wearing the Elyria amour. His dark hair was cropped close to his skull. He was standing with his hands behind his back, and watching his men with out saying any thing to them.Rhaegar stopped at the bottom of the steps.He had not slept well. He rarely did these days, but last night, his mind had stayed busy with the list Jade had given him, turning each item over. By th

Rhaegar shook his head. "Except this trip is not about the forsaken. " He pause then added. "My father just use it as a cover up in case there is any spy at the palace." Jade did not say anything as she looked at him. "But we can still go to the boarder later. In fact, I am not sure. Alderic call the shots."Jade just nodded and then said. "We can find a way to get it."Rhaegar nodded.Nobody said anything anymore. The carriage was moving slowly. And Inside, the carriage was warm.Serra was up shortly after like like someone had simply switched her back on. One moment she was slumped against the side and was breathing slowly. The next, her her eyes were open and she was sitting upright and was blinking at the light coming through the carriage window.She looked around, and look at Jade who has her eyes now closed on the opposite bench, then her eyes shifted to Vae, and then she looked at Rhaegar."How long was I out?" she asked."Not long," Rhaegar said.She nodded and stretched
The Collision
The carriage suddenly rolled to a stop and Rhaegar looked through the curtain and his eyes landed on a tarven billboard. The letters on the billboard were carved into the wood.Aldric appeared at the carriage door a moment later.He pulled it open and leaned slightly inside, his eyes moving briefly over the three of them before stopping on Rhaegar."Your highness, we will stop here," he said. "We will have some food and rest before we go to the base camp. There is a military post not far from here, maybe two miles east. We can sleep there tonight."Rhaegar nodded. "I'm okay with it."Aldric glanced at Serra and Jade once, then pulled back. "Wait here. I will go speak with the keeper."He closed the door.Inside the carriage, no body said anything. Vae already lifted her head the moment the carriage stopped. Her ears were even upright and turning slightly as she read whatever sounds were outside. Then she settled her chin back down on Jade's thigh with a low exhale.Jade kept her ha
All Hail Prince Rhaegar
Rhaegar, Serra, Jade and Alderic resumed walking.They have been walking for a few minutes now when they started hearing some noise. It was the sound of people talking, laughing and then the crack of fire sounding through the night.Alderic took the lead as they turned the corner of the eastern building and the voice became clear.There was a wide yard opened ahead of them..Several fire pits was burning across it, and around each one soldiers were gathered. Some of them sat on crates and barrels while others stood. Cups was just being passed between hands. Someone near the second fire was telling a story and the men around him was already laughing.Rhaegar slowed his steps.Alderic moved close and kept his voice down so they would not hear. "We should take the the back door. There is a blue bunk on the far side. We can avoid...""Is that Alderic?"Before he could finished talking, a voice sounded from near the fire making a few heads to turned.Then another voice added almost imme
Healer Wren
The broad-shouldered soldier's arms were still wrapped around Rhaegar and the yard was still cheering.."ALL HAIL PRINCE RHAEGAR!"The cheer continue to to get louder. Even most of the men who have been quiet all night were on their feet now cheering.The broad-shouldered man — Rhaegar still did not know his name, was grinning wide enough to split his face, his grip was firm as he kept Rhaegar on his shoulder like he weighed nothing.Rhaegar let the man have the moment without trying to climb down. Across the fire, Yaran was not even moving from his seat. His cup was still between his fingers, and he was turning it slowly. He shifted his eyes away from Rhaegar on the man shoulder and was bow watching the fire.. His jaw was tight like who something annoyed and he was pretending to be cool about it.He reached down and picked up a loose stone from beside his boot and tossed it into the fire.Then he picked another one and also tossed it.He picked the third stone and pause for a wh
The Leg Is Crushed
The blonde girl horse suddenly stopped and the rest horses also stopped.There was no road again to go, just trees pressing in from both sides and the ground softening under the hooves.They all dismounted from the horses. Petra(the blond girl ) wad the first to go ahead without waiting to be told. After all, she was the only one who knew the way.Rhaegar and the others followed behind. Rhaegar kept looking back as they walked.The place was full of abandoned hunting shelters rotted between the trees. Some of the shelter had caved in entirely and their roofs folded.Others stood on one wall only and was half-consumed by moss. This was the kind of place no one will even have a reason to come to.He won't even think someone will live here..No wonder it was difficult to find him all this years.. Yaran was walking just behind Petra.Serra and Jade was just following behind Rhaegar without talking.Alderic stayed at Rhaegar's right shoulder, and Vae padded between Jade in silence.H
You can fix him
Healer Wren opened the small leather satchel he was carrying. He pulled out a small clay jar from the satchel and unsealed it. The smell hit the nose of everyone in the room. It smell like pine and bitter root.He dipped two fingers into the ointment and started rubbing it along the the boy's leg. He started just below the knee and work down slowly. His fingers moved slowly and steadily. The boy's jaw tightened but he did not say anything. When Wren was done, he pulled his fingers back and wiped them clean on a small cloth. Then he closed his eyes as he connected to the source.His channeling threads was now coming out.They were pale white and they drifted out from Wren's hands like something that was being exhaled. It was slow at first, then more of them started moving fast. They curled down toward the boy's leg and began to settle, wrapping themselves in layers around the crushed bone, and weaving between each other like the way fingers lock when you clasp your hands together
