Chapter Seventy‐Eight: The Eye.
Water rocked the ship slowly, like a mother singing its child to sleep. Lyann’s crew scambered around the ship, performing one task or another, happy to be back on the ship.But not everyone was happy. Some for instance were a little seasick."I know we are desperate," Somen started as he emerged from below the deck. But I didn’t know we were desperate enough to look for a deserted, long-forgotten island, emerging from the sea at a point that we don't know and that may or may not be real. How do we even know if it's the one?"'I'll know when I see it." Reese countered."Which is when exactly? Roaming the oceans for 50 years isn't my dream life." He moaned."If we are alive." Lyann added unhelpfully, emerging from the bridge, holding some scrolled up paper.Somen wasn't watching her since he went to vomit into the sea. "Can't take much more of this."She unfolded her scrolled up paper, which turned out to be a map. It was quite old by the looks of it."I thought you said you didn't kno
Chapter Seventy-Seven: Departure
The High Council chamber was sounding more alive than normalSix Archdukes filled the vaulted hall with overlapping opinions and protests, their voices rising in sharp waves that echoed throughout the room. “This is unbelievable!” Duke Orrbi slammed his palm flat against the table. “The riots are spreading, the people are restless, and yet you tell us to stop the search? To stop the search is to hand the realm over to chaos! We should intensify it instead.”That was what Revner thought too. Infact, that was what everyone else thought, which was why they murmured agreement. Even Klare the only dissenter here, would normally agree with Orrbi.So why was she telling them to call of the search? I didn't make any sense. To make things worse, she was in no mood for explanation. “Chaos has already taken hold,” Manning retorted. “The Equalists stir rebellion in the streets while Voyne and the Church move towards a goal. We are trapped between a rock and a hard place.”Klare sat at the head
Chapter Seventy-Six: Frustration, Anger, Self-Hate.
Luthen stood some distance away from Sophie’s house, sufficiently concealed in the shadows yet observing the commotion he had caused."Find him!" came an authoritative voice. "He couldn't have gone far! By Order of the High Council!"He saw soldiers scurry in different directions, some entering the building to support those already there, others surrounding the house and searching every nook and cranny. He wished he could tell them it was of no use.*******"I swear I saw him!" A solider tried to explain to his captain and his fellow colleagues. Their faces were the epitome of disbelief."He was real like you and I!""He could have teleported!" One of the more tactless soldiers replied him. The rest looked at him like he was stupid. However, the serious face of his captain bore a semblance of anger.The tactless solider whitened as he realized his mistake. He had indirectly insulted his superior."I am sorry, Captain!" He quickly excused himself from the area.The captain had an Abil
Chapter Seventy-Five: Teaser
"Maron?" "Hello, old friend." The voice was recognised by Luthen, even if it felt like ice was layered in. Not him again! "I would have preferred to watch the touching reunion, but, We'll be taking our leave first." Mother said, retreating to a corner of the room with her son. A blue circle glowed to life under their feet. It rose up slowly, encircling them. "Your orders, Mother?" asked Maron. "Give him a demonstration and don't expose yourself to them if you can. It isn't time yet." was the instruction he received. "Oh no. You aren't going yet!" Luthen outstretched his arm, his intent focusing on stopping the teleportation. The teleport circle had no option but to heed the Space Shard. It stopped ascending and begun to descend. "Stop him!" came Mother's shrill cry. Luthen knew he left himself exposed. Half of him was focused on keeping Mother here until the Great Seven would arrive. Maron stretched his arms towards the Circle too. His Ability had a part of the Space Aspect
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
