Chapter 17: The Road To Shadows III
Enhanced reflexes let him move while the bandits were distracted. He threw his dagger with inhuman speed and accuracy. The blade buried itself in the leader's throat before the man could shout a warning. Blood sprayed across the fallen leaves as he dropped his crossbow and clutched his ruined neck gurgling as he fell. The other bandits panicked. Some tried to shoot while others dove for cover. Their wild shots went wide as Aurelius's knights attacked from multiple directions. Garrett's sword found a bandit's heart while Thomas strangled another with his bare hands. William limped forward on his wounded leg but still managed to drive his blade through an enemy's ribs. His enhanced speed let Aurelius dodge crossbow bolts that should have killed him. He moved like a ghost between the trees, his sword finding throats and hearts with perfect precision. The last bandit tried to grab Lyanna as a hostage. His dirty hands reached for her hair while he pressed a knife to her throat.
Chapter 16: The Road To Shadow II
Aurelius glanced at her surprised. "What's that supposed to mean?" "Nothing," Seraphina replied with false sweetness. "Just noting how much she adores you. Must be nice having someone look at you like you're perfect." The comment stung because it came out of nowhere. Aurelius frowned but kept walking. A few minutes later, when Lyanna stumbled again slightly on the uneven path, Aurelius steadied her with a hand on her arm. "Careful," he said. "So protective," Seraphina muttered under her breath. "Such a gentleman." "Is there a problem?" Aurelius finally asked as it was apparent, something was wrong somewhere. "Problem? Why would there be a problem?" Seraphina's smile was razor-sharp. "You saved the innocent fairy. You're the hero. Everyone thinks you're wonderful." The knights exchanged glances. They could feel the tension building but weren't sure why. "What's this really about?" Aurelius asked, stopping in the middle of the path. Seraphina stopped too, crossing her arms.
Chapter 15: The Road to Shadows
The sun climbed higher while they packed their stolen wealth into rough sacks. Five hundred gold dragons made a heavy load even split between eight men. The enchanted weapons added more weight to their burdens. "We need rest before we move," Sir Garrett said. Dark circles shadowed his eyes from the sleepless night. "Half of us can barely stand." Aurelius looked at his knights. They'd been fighting and running for two straight days. Sir Thomas swayed on his feet despite the healing potion. Sir William's face was pale with exhaustion. "Two hours," he decided. "We sleep in shifts. Four men on watch, four resting." They found corners in the broken warehouse where they could lie down on moldy sacks and cracked wooden crates. It wasn't comfortable but it was better than falling over from exhaustion. Seraphina curled up near Lyanna like a protective sister. The fairy sat with her back against the wall, too afraid to sleep. Every little sound she heard made her jump. "It's safe,"
Chapter 14: Dawn Question's And Silk II
But Lyanna didn't understand the problem. She continued undressing with innocent confidence while eight knights tried desperately to look anywhere else. Her body was perfect in ways that human women could never achieve. Every line and curve designed to entrance. Breasts that were full but not heavy. A waist so narrow it seemed impossible. Hips that flared in exactly the right proportions. "Sweet gods," Sir William whispered totally horrified. "Someone stop her." Seraphina moved fast. She knocked Lyanna on the head with her knuckles, making her flinch in pain. "Ow," Lyanna said, rubbing her head. "What was that for?" "You can't just strip naked in front of men," Seraphina said firmly. "Come with me. We'll change clothes privately." She grabbed the confused fairy by the arm and dragged her toward a section of the warehouse where fallen beams created a natural partition. The knights coughed and looked at their weapons while trying to pretend they hadn't seen anything. "That was cl
Chapter 13: Dawn Questions and Silk
Gray dawn light crept through the broken warehouse roof. Dust motes danced in the pale beams that cut through shadows and smoke. The smell of blood and burned flesh still hung in the air from their clothes and skin. Aurelius sat on a pile of moldy grain sacks with his back against the wall. His burned chest was already pink with new skin where the fireball had hit him. The pain was almost gone. But the memories of Sir Gareth's death burned worse than any fire. Around him, his knights moved like wounded animals. Sir Roland pressed cloth against his ribs where the saber had cut deep. Blood seeped through the makeshift bandage with each breath he took. Sir Thomas pulled the torn arrow shaft from his shoulder with gritted teeth. Fresh blood ran down his arm as he worked the barbed point free. He bit back a curse when it finally came loose. "Fuck," he muttered. "That one hurt worse coming out." Sir William sat with his leg stretched out, examining the gash on his thigh. The wound wasn
Chapter 12: Fire And Freedom II
Only Mother Coin's betrayal had changed that plan. Now Gareth was dead. And these fairies were still suffering and trapped. Maybe he couldn't undo his selfishness. But he could try to be better now. "Yes," Aurelius said quietly. "I should have done this from the start." He unlocked the first cage. A fairy with butterfly-patterned wings that glowed soft pink stepped out carefully, then immediately pressed herself against the far wall. The moment she was clear of the iron bars, her wings folded into her back and disappeared completely. She stared at Aurelius with wide, frightened eyes. Like she expected him to grab her now that she was free. "Go," he said quietly. "You're free." She didn't move. Just stood there shaking. "It's okay," Sir Roland said gently. "We're not going to hurt you." The fairy looked between them, still terrified. Finally she whispered something in a language none of them understood and hurried toward the door on trembling legs. The second cage h
