19. Motive
"Let me get this straight, you can't get back to the wall the same way you came. And you also don't want to take advice from the locals here?" Kip said with a very clear hint of sarcasm. They were currently making their way through the forest in the light of day. Lyra led the group as she always did, she found herself losing her senses by the second. She tripped several times over tree roots she should have seen earlier. She tried to block out the noise of others, she could hear her breath wheezing. "What's happening to me?" She said under her breath. Ash answered Kip with very little enthusiasm. "She's afraid of being discovered. If we could get a map, we would know where we're going." "I'm not afraid." She said under her breath, too low for any of them to hear. Kip grinned from hear to ear as he whistled to the wind and looked at the trees around him, then turned his gaze to the sky. He peered at the sky for a while before saying, "There are no birds in the sky." Dry leav
18. The Past
Lyra maintained a steady gaze with Ash, her eyes barely blinked even for a second as she spoke. "You want to know about your mother? I can't promise I know much, after all I was only recently stationed by the border before being sent to come here."Ash listened attentively to her words, he could almost hear his own heart beating slowly. His pupils dilated, "I'm listening."She drew a short breath of air and let the silence settle there for a moment before she spoke again. When she did her voice was soft and almost tender. "Moonblade assassin's are moonlight elves chosen to be the best of their respective clans. We are chosen to help protect those who cannot protect themselves, I was only recently enlisted. My parents died in the same service, killed by human scum."Kip who had been quietly listening to the stories snapped his fingers together, gaining their attention. "I apologise for interrupting but how did you parents die if no human has gone over the wall before?"The elf girl's e
17. DrakkonXebec
Ash sat there paralysed by shock for several minutes, his mind pondered if she was messing with him. But that did not seem in her character. So what did that then mean to him?He wondered which was more traumatizing. That the mother he never grew up with, or ever knew existed was alive?Or that she might have had an idea what had happened to him before it even happened. Did that mean she always knew where he was and never showed up? If she did know where he was, why did she not come himself.Lyra broke his minutes of silence with even colder words of her own. "I wasn't supposed to tell you that. I wanted to see how you would react."Ash did not know how to feel about that either... Did that mean she was she was trying to show that she could be trusted or that she was trusting him? It could also be that she was lying to manipulate him, he did not really know anything about her either way. So was it a ploy to control him or the truth?The words slipped out of his mouth like venom. "How
16. Kip
The sound of fire crackling caused Ash to wake up, he found himself lying down on a dead log and under the night sky. Everywhere was covered in snow and cold, but for some reason his body was running warm.The first voice he heard was that of the strange man he had saved, it was a warm contrast to the cold lifeless voice he had been accustomed to for so long. "Are you awake now? Or are you going to start talking in your sleep again."Ash did not respond at first, he sat up straight and pressed his palm on his chest. His heart rate was fine, and that was the problem. He felt fine now but earlier, he felt like he was going to die out there.He looked around and accessed his surroundings, the man he had saved was sitting on a small rock boulder at a small distance. He gave him a wave and a bright smile. There was a small fire in the middle that looked like it would die within the next hour. Snow revealed herself on the log, the little pup climbed into his laps and nibbles at his palm. H
15. By The Flip Of A Coin
Ash stood there looking in shock at three dead bodies scattered on the ground and a bloody elf standing over them all. Even Snow seemed impressed as she gave a proud whine, Ash felt the need to gag and he did. To his disappointment nothing came out of his already empty bowels.Lyra looked over her shoulder and held her gaze on the scene of what she had done for the fraction of a second before addressing him. "We have to go there are others coming."Before Ash could ask how she knew this someone interrupted, and the chained man seemed all to interested in them now. "By the devil's arse, that was a mighty good save. If you could kindly take me down from here I would appreciate it, though I can't promise you riches. I shouldn't have said that part, ignore the last bit."Lyra did not spared the chained man a look as she walked over to the first corpse of the man she had killed recently and pulled out her other dagger.Ash looked up at her, then his gaze fell to the chained man. "What abo
14. The Chained Man
Creeping closer to the sounds of laughter of what had to be at least two men he could feel his heart thumping in his chest, he would have perhaps heard it but his breathing was too loud for him to focus on that.Snow gave him a strange look of fear and worry. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." He suspected the pup could smell lies because it whined and looked away from him.Ash had to convince himself that he was doing the right thing, and what was the right thing anyway? He tried to walk as carefully as he could, but he could barely move without making a sound. Lyra had been the only one who could move around without making a sound, thinking about her made him anxious again.Ash was slowly getting closer, the sound of men grew louder. He tried to push past the tree branches slowly without making much noise.It did not take long before he came by a huge tree trunk, he leaned right next to it and peeped over the edge to see a small space a few feet ahead. It was
