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
CHAPTER 136 - HIGH POWER
HAZEL'S POVSleeping in a new environment always feels off the first few days, because it takes time for your body to adjust.Here I was, in Dorwen's cottage, tossing and turning in bed.I took a deep breath and dropped my feet off the bed, my shoulders falling as I looked around. Everything felt empty, a void. I felt it in my chest.I stood and walked toward the window. The rush of water grew clearer, I'd heard it the moment Dorwen and I stepped into the room, but I hadn't paid it much attention until now.I pulled the curtains open. A new day had dawned, though it was still dark. Then I saw it, a tall mountain covered in green, a huge rock at its centre pouring water down into the river below. I stood there watching the view, even as the tug in my heart continued.I regretted breaking the bond. I wanted to feel how he felt.The image of the night before I left for the tower played in my mind. That night had memories. That night I'd shifted for the first time, and it was beautiful, b
CHAPTER 135 - UNSAFE WALLS.
NATHAN'S POVSylthara's long lashed eyes were still shut as she lay on the bed, her hair spread like wool over the pillow.I sat by the bed staring at the bandage I had wrapped around her stomach, wondering when those gold flecked blue eyes would look at me again.She was a dragon. She would recover. I knew that. It was just the poison and the normal effect it would have on a dragon.But I couldn't take a step away from her bedside. Not until those golden flecked blue eyes held mine again.This feeling, the need to keep her safe, felt familiar. I had felt this way towards someone before. I closed my eyes trying to remember.There was a shape to it. Not a face, not a name, just a feeling, warm and certain, the kind that lives in the chest not the head. Like something I had carried for a long time without knowing the weight of it.Then the fog rolled in thick and fast and my head split with the effort of trying to hold on.A groan escaped my lips as my eyes flew open.My breath came out
CHAPTER 134 - WITH DORWEN.
HAZEL'S POVThe walk through the tree dense forest valley took longer than expected. Worst of all was the silence that followed our footsteps.My teeth jammed against each other as my body shook beneath the wet clothes hugging it, but she looked unfazed by the cold.Finally a candle lit cottage came into view not too far from where we stood."Looks like we're home" she finally broke the silence, turning to face me.I nodded and she turned, taking the lead towards the house. I followed closely behind as we walked through the field of grass that lay before the small clearing at the centre.Our boots dug into mud as we moved forward.Just then the grass began to move and when I looked clearly my eyes caught a small green snake moving through the mud in my direction.A scream escaped my throat as my heart almost made its way out of my mouth.Dorwen turned but then I tripped.I thought I would land my scared self on the mud but before I could fall halfway her arms came around me, holding m
