Chapter Seventy-Four: Expected.
Just before Luthen made his daring break in to Sophie’s Manor "We left her at the old site, the one underneath the temple. It would be too much trouble to bring her. Besides, she'll most likely die there anyways." Voyne said. Mother didn't immediately answer. She was busy with her drink. "How about-" She started before she cut herself off. A presence seemed to be searching the manor. It was a sophisticated intent. Definitely a Shard. Why was one here? "Which of them is protecting the room?" Voyne knew which group of people she was talking of. "Maron." He replied. "Interesting choice." Mother even smiled. "Continue." "Most of the personnel are assembled at the pickup point. Only our expendable members remain here." "Why?" "The Great Nobles are onto us and not just Klare. " Voyne said. "The Nobles? I wonder how frustrating this must be for Klare." Mother tried to pic
Chapter Seventy-Three: Exposed.
Damn the Order! She cursed again.She had heard too late about their plans from her spy network. When she confronted the Brother earlier, he must have known that it was too late for her to stop it. Not that the Brother could stop the riots from happening if he wanted to. He was not at the top of the Equalist pecking order, just a liaison between the Equalists and Klare.But she wanted to thank them at the same time!If the riots were occurring equally in all the regions, it would mean that no Great Noble could accuse any of being negligent when their own territory was destabilized. She quickly calmed herself down so she could take control of the situation as effectively as possible."Send a letter to the Great Nobles. The High Council must meet." This was her first statement after digesting the news. "As soon as possible.""Yes, Archduchess. " came Ayle's reply as she scurried to get it done.Now, Klare was walking to the Archives, where an emergency meeting of the Nobles was convene
Chapter Seventy-Two: Incredulous.
Reese would never understand women. He could only hope that Lyann, the only one acquainted with the sea in the group would understand his description. He was lucky as it turned out."The Eye is located on a deserted island." He said at the war tent when they were all gathered in an impromptu meeting. "Almost all important places are located on deserted islands. So which one?" Lyann asked, yawning. "That's the problem. I could see the layout of the island, but I don't know its name.""......" The rest were speechless."Then, how do you expect us to find it?" Jonelle questioned."I was hoping you would help." Reese said, referring to the pirate."There are lots of deserted islands, love. You would have to describe this one pretty well." Lyann replied."Can you describe anything unique about this island?" Kane asked Reese."Well, it's, uh, circular. ""There are a lot of circular islands that I know." The pirate replied."OK then, it's not just circular, it's like a ring.""That narrow

The chamber was dim, lit only by wavering candlelight that cast tall , distorted shadows on the stone walls. A cliché setting of a criminal's office."Welcome, Princess to the Order of the Brotherhood. What can we do for you today?""It's Archduchess to you." Klare snapped coldly.The Brother faltered. "Ah yes. Of course. Forgive my slip, Archduchess.""You've been quite silent lately. How are the preparations coming? This matter is not going to investigate itself.""I beg your mercy, Archduchess. We simply received no word from our friends. Their silence is quite.....troubling, but I assure you we are working on it." He tried to hide it, but his voice was still a bit shaky."Have you considered that they may not be alive to send you word?" She replied."We have thought of that, Archduchess. Another group are prepared to infiltrate the Chruch.""We dont have much time. I believe the Chruch is about to make a big move." She paused awhile "See that you do that as soon as possible. We w
Chapter Seventy: Suicidal.
She awoke on the temple floors, confused as to the sudden change in her surroundings.How did I get here?The forgotten temple, illuminated by the sun, was truly an artifact of the past. Scribbled across its walls were words in a language she could not, even if she bothered to, read.Yet the bright midday sun, in all its glory, could not warm the frozen ice that was Renée’s heart.She dragged herself to sit against a pillar, her gaze dull and lifeless. For a long while, she simply stared at the cracked ceiling, tracing the faint golden shafts of sunlight spilling through.What's next? She asked herself.Voyne had tormented her and thrown her away. She spent days out in the docks trying to find the Shards. And when she did, they cast her away too. She came back to kill Voyne, to at least do something useful herself.She ended in an underground prison.Even the person who saved her hadn't bothered to even take her somewhere to be treated or even stayed to watch over her.A laugh escaped he
Chapter Sixty-Nine: The Captive's Pleas.
Was time is it? She thought. Reneé could not answer herself. How many days had it been? Morning or Evening, she couldn't tell. The darkness wrapped around her tightly like a tight tunic. The bruises around her wrist were painful but not as painful as being forgotten in the depths of some underground room. It was damp. The cold bit her bare skin almost as hard as the slaps Voyne gave her. The cold and Voyne’s slaps had one thing in common—their sting lingered. "Hello." Her voice was a sliver of its former self. "Help." "Anyone." "Someone." "Lyann." "Luthen." "Somen." "Kane." "Someone" "Please." "Water." ******* There had been a lull in the camp since Luthen left. Kane was more alone than usual, something about meditation. Lyann just locked up and Somen continued to terrorize the pirate crew. "Have you found it yet?" Jonelle grumbled. "I am literally searching the whole World! It's going to take a bit of time." Reese grumbled back. A bit of time? No. A bit of time wa
