Chapter Sixty-Four: To Old Friends.
The Shards had made it clear. She was on her own. Good.Voyne.She slipped from shadow to shadow of buildings, moving quite clumsily yet determined to take him down. She didn't care. Forward was the only way to take him down.She had begged them. Begged them to let her fight. Yet they turned her away too.They look down on me also.That fury made her leave the protection of the Shards, had her brought back to the city she once fled from. Back to end it all herself.With every step she took she could feel it. She could feel her target getting closer.*******The campfires burned and the wood crackled, illuminating the camp at scattered spots. People huddled for warmth against the night cold, starting a lively chatter through the camp.At the campfire reserved for the Shards, Lyann turned her gaze toward the forest’s edge, where the girl had vanished hours ago.“She’s really gone, huh?” she muttered.“You mean Voyne's secretary?” Somen asked without lifting her head. “If she survives, s
Chapter Sixty- Three: Risen From The Ashes.
The doors of the Great Hall swung open quite violently. Six of the Great Nobles were seated in a Circle, thought there was a conspicuously empty sevnth seat. "I lead the High Council, I lead the Circle," she said in regal anger as she walked through the roor and approached the Council. "And yet you hold a High Council meeting without me in my territory?" Her fury resonated through the hall though she didn't lose her noble bearing. "Calm down, Klare." was Revner's way of diffusing the situation. She didn't spare him a look. Her gaze was fixed on the others. They did not waver from her gaze.She activated her empath Ability."You used to lead the Circle and the High Council." Archduke Orrbi said. The only emotions she could feel from nearly every single one were either contempt, pity or disdain. Nearly everyone except Revner. "That's why you had me declared 'mentally incapable' and unfit to rule?" "Well, clearly losing your friend made you lose your sense of judgement and touched y
Chapter Sixty-Two: Back and Gone Again: Unlikely Help.
I have to help them!Broken memories swirled around in her head. She looked into one and knew just how to help.She threw on a cloak and stepped quietly through the door and into the corridor. She steadied herself. This was her moment. There was no time to waste.She subconsciously knew her way through the building, servants bowing and parting for her to pass.It still felt like an unclear dream, the voice shouting in her head to go back to sleep getting louder and louder.“Mother?” a voice called from behind. “You should still be in bed.”She knew the person who spoke before she turned. It was him. Voyne.My son. Our son, the voice said now.She shook her head violently.“Mother, are you alright?” His voice was heavy with worry. “You shouldn’t have stood up yet.” He made a motion to touch her.How should I deal with this? she thought to herself.“Don’t—don’t you dare touch me,” she said, trying to fake the confidence and authority she had seen Mother show in her dream.Stop this. Go
Chapter Sixty- One: Gone and Back Again: The Saintess Wins.
Mother’s eyes snapped open in the real world. Sweat beaded her brow. Her breath was ragged. She had not anticipated the ritual to be this taxing. Every breath felt like a struggle. But she had succeeded.It is done.The Apostates lay unconscious in the pods around her. The Relic’s glow dimmed.She tried to stand but her vision swam. She couldn't think clearly or get her eyes to open. It felt heavy and out of touch.She fell to the floor.*******Over a week had passed since the Apostate Incident in the camp."It's been quite quiet these past few days." Lyann said in their war tent. Luthen was busy somewhere digging in books and Somen was out managing the camp. Only Kane was listening to her."Even the followers have quieted their movements. We are slowly drawn to the endgame." Kane said. They both had been strategizing for the better part of a day."I think it's time we rescued those two." Lyann said. "We'll need every help we can get to win.""Luthen and Somen think so too, and I am i
Chapter Sixty: To Victory and Missing Old Friends.
"You'll find me more formidable than you imagined, Saintess." Mother grinned, pleased with herself.The blasts from the Saintess’s hands pierced the vacuum of the mind scape, burning white-hot with the calm fury of the Saintess. But none reached their mark. She was beginning to lose her cool.Mother tilted her head, eyes narrowing, her wicked grin never leaving her face. “For someone so old, you so foolishly thought that your self-righteousness would grant you strength. But your days are long gone and all your power is restricted to this place.”"I suppose I should thank you." Mother continued, ascending as she talked. "You have given me the advantage." A lot of the soul energy the Saintess had fired congregated around Mother. A flick of her finger was all she needed to fire them in the opposite direction.Drawing on the power of the Relic once more, the Saintess constructed a barrier that protected her from the blast. Her face was tight and pensive."It's time you stop holding on to t
Chapter Fifty-Nine: A Ghostly Visit.
Reneé stepped forward, her voice trembling but firm. “I would stand with you. Let me lend what strength I have.”"Don't worry, Reneé. We got this." Luthen said."You don't understand. You can't tell we not to fight with you. You have no idea what I have been through. Plus you trashed my home. I have nowhere to go to. I am not asking.""We can't involve you in this. The people we are dealing with are strong and dangerous." Somen explained."Sounds like you are calling me weak." Reneé said."Yes. Exactly what he meant." Lyann interjected. "At the level you are what can you hope to do?""I brought Intel, I told you about them!""We know and that's why you are still breathing." The shock on Reneé's face was incentive enough for Lyann to keep going. " Even if we fully trusted you-we don't- you aren't even Awakened! Just realize your weakness already. Go home. We are not asking."Reneé's lip trembled and she left in a hurry.“She was going to die,” Lyann said defensively when she sensed eve
