CHAPTER 142 - ATTACK ON NAVAERRE.
NATHAN'S POVMy eyes went back to Sylthara, where she lay on the sofa. I knew she had feelings for Dravon, but no. I had to do this for the people.My eyes dropped to the gem in one hand and the blood coated knife in the other. My heart ached. I knew she wouldn't die, but she was going to hate me.I raised the knife over the tiny stone set at the neck of the gem, letting a drop of blood fall from the edge onto it.For a moment, nothing happened. I watched, impatient, until another roar tore through from the farms.My heart pounded as I turned the gem over in my hand.Maybe it was because I took the blood by force. Maybe she'd lied. The thoughts kept circling.Another roar pulled me out of the haze. I couldn't wait any longer. I grabbed my sword from where it lay, then opened a drawer full of daggers and tucked them around my boots.Another roar. I ran to the window and saw amber light. The dragon was here, close.My heart thumped hard against my chest. I knew this feeling, fear, but I
CHAPTER 141 - TAKE DOWN
The doors to my room were thrown open with more force than I'd ever used on them.My maids stared at me with wide eyes from where they stood arranging a dress my brother had brought in that afternoon and instructed I put on.I closed my eyes, taking a deep breath just to calm the storm rising in me."My lady, is anything wrong?" the head maid asked."Get out. All of you, out. I need some space," I ordered, sounding harsher than I meant to.They scurried to their feet and out, shutting the door behind them. They knew better than to come close when I was angry.I didn't wait. I got out of my night robe and rushed to my closet, pulling out one of my leather combat outfits and getting into it as fast as I could.I went for my sword at the back of the closet and slid it into its sheath.I rushed to the door that led to the balcony and turned the knob, but it was locked."Gosh, what the hell," I said.I rushed to my cupboard where the keys had always been, my shaky hands moving through the
CHAPTER 140 - DARK FEARS.
We ended up at the fountain, a short walk from the house.A pool of water flowed peacefully as it poured from the stone at the center of the mound.The sight was much more beautiful than what I'd seen from my window.My eyes went back to Raqphael.He had one knee on the ground, fixing his hook.I took a step closer."How long are we going to spend out here?" I asked."I have no idea. You could sit if you want, those flat rocks beside the river aren't decor," he said, still focused on what he was doing.I rolled my eyes and went to sit on the one closest to the riverbank.I walked over, took off my slippers, sat down carefully, and let my legs into the water. It was cold against my feet at first, but soon my skin adjusted to it.A gust of wind rushed past me. I let it wash over me, closing my eyes. The water against my feet and the wind brushing over me was overwhelming.I opened my eyes and turned to see Raqphael staring at me, trousers rolled just below the knee.He cleared his throa
CHAPTER 139 - A SPELL I DIDN'T KNOW.
HAZEL'S POVMy eyes flew open to the blinding rays of the sun coming in through my window. I sat up on my bed and looked around.From the intensity of the sun, I knew I had woken up later than I meant to. My head banged hard against my skull.I stood to my feet but felt unusually lazy, and above all my heart ached with a kind of void. I felt empty.My throat burned. I needed water. I staggered towards the jug on the shelf, my hands closing around it, but it was empty.I wondered why it had seemed full from a distance. My head was playing tricks on me.My shoulders dropped at the thought that I'd have to go get water from the kitchen.I walked towards the door anyway."Hazel." Dorwen's voice came from behind me just as my hand landed on the door.I turned to face her, my eyes catching the glass of water in her hands.How did she know I needed that, I thought."G-good morning," I stammered, surprised she was in my room. She rarely came here, and certainly not in the mornings, when she w
CHAPTER 138 - PAIN AND REALIZATION
HAZEL'S POV My eyes followed Dorwen as she continued lighting the candles. I was getting better, but I wished she could move faster with the training, time was running out with each passing day.She turned to look at me."Before we continue with another lesson, I'd love you to show me what you can do with what I've taught you so far." I nodded, walking to the center of the candles. I closed my eyes, trying to draw power from within. I felt nothing."Focus, Hazel. Focus on your inner self. Power comes from within," she said from behind me.I tried to focus, but still felt nothing. I opened my eyes to see the candles still burning.I turned to face her. She walked toward me, placing a hand on my shoulder."Why isn't it working? I feel so empty," I asked, looking at my hands."Because you're worried. For someone who just started practicing magic, you can't do it with too many worries weighing on you, child," she asked."I'm worried for my people, for the people of Aldridge, and also the
CHAPTER 137 - AIDEN WAS HERE.
SYLTHARA'S POVThe maid poured water over me. It helped calm the pressure in my mind, the fear that pressed at me, fear not for myself, but for Nathan. A tap came on my hand, and I looked up at the maid."Your Majesty, you can get off the bathtub, we're done with your bath." Gosh, I hadn't even noticed they were done. I stepped out of the tub as they wrapped a towel around me.They led me to the room and sat me at the dressing table facing the mirror, then began doing justice to my white hair."Wool hair," Nathan's words came to my mind, and I caught myself smiling. damn it.What was even wrong with me.She kept combing my hair smooth before fixing it. Aiden, that brat, could have killed me. I didn't know where he got those witch powers, but it wasn't funny, and I knew I wouldn't have had the upper hand over him, not even with my Voidfang gene and warrior abilities, especially with him disappearing and appearing from who knows where with those abilities of his.When he flung Nathan aga
